Guanyin is also known as Kwan Yin, Guanshiyin, the Goddess of Mercy and many other names. The mythology around Guanyin is two-fold, one based on the [[Avalokiteśvara|Avalokitasvara/Avalokiteśvara]] tradition from India and one based on an alleged Chinese young woman's life, as appears in the [[Guanyin#Miaoshan|legend of Miaoshan]]. Guanyin is worshiped as a goddess, yet has a most impressive mythological résumé. Many myths and legends exist about Guan Yin. In all of them she is exceptionally compassionate.
