520    "Kuan Yin, whose name means "one who hears the cries of 
       the world," is perhaps the most widely revered Buddhist 
       saint in the world. Known as Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit, 
       Kannon in Japanese, and Chenrezig in Tibetan, this 
       compassionate bodhisattva is at the heart of all Mahayana 
       Buddhist traditions. Sometimes depicted as male and other 
       times as female, Kuan Yin took the vow to free all 
       sentient beings from their suffering. The legend of 
       Princess Miao-Shan is the origin story of how she became 
       the bodhisattva known as Kuan Yin. Princess Miao-Shan 
       lived in a country called Raised Forest around 700 B.C.E. 
       Instead of marrying a prince according to her father's 
       wishes, she followed her own path of spiritual practice 
       and left the royal life behind. This was unheard of in her
       Confucian culture, where traditional family roles were 
       viewed as the foundation of society. This story follows 
       Ling, Miao-Shan's younger sister, who witnesses her 
       sister's trials, perseverance, and ultimate enlightenment.
       Ling must overcome doubts, fears, and loneliness in order 
       to realize what her sister tells her all along: that love,
       which is ultimately compassion for others, is the greatest
       power in the universe"--|cProvided by publisher.
