    HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

    Kuan Yin, The Compassionate Rebel

    It is unfortunate that Buddhism's most enduring (and universal) contribution to the worldhas been insufficiently translated as compassion. The original Sanskrit word is 'karuna 'which holds within itself traces of the fragment 'ru ' meaning to weep. !hile the "#ford

    dictionary describes compassion as pity bordering on the merciful karuna is actually our ability to relate to another in so intense a measure that the plight of the other affects us

    as much as if it had been our own.

    The term karuna is central to the entire Buddhist tradition. It is fre$uently described as alove for all beings e$ual in intensity to a mother's affection for her child. %owever it is

    $uite unlike conventional love (Sanskrit& priya kama or trishna) which is rooted indualistic thinking and is egoistic possessive and e#clusive in contrast to the all

    encompassing nature of compassion. The root meaning of karuna is said to be theanguished cry of deep sorrow and understanding that can only come from an

    unblemished sense of oneness with others.

    In fact the evolution of Buddhism in sia and its spread throughout the

    world is from a spiritual point of viewnone other than the unfolding of karuna

    in history. owhere is this moree#plicitly e#emplified than in the

    *hinese assimilation of Buddhism. +ewwould deny that the defining symbol of

    this integration is the goddess who withher sweet and merciful disposition haswon the hearts of not only the *hinese

    but also profoundly affected even thosewho belonging to a foreign tradition

    have only had a fleeting interaction withher. This divine female is none other

    than ,uan -in beloved goddess of over a billion people the world over. %er

    name too signifies her compassionatenature literally meaning '"ne who hears

    the cries of the world.'

    It remains a historical fact that ,uan -inis the *hinese version of the male god

    valokiteshvara whom the ancient te#tseulogi e as the patron deity of Kuan Yin

    holding a leafy twig derived from the 'weeping willow' tree known so due to its trailingleafy branches that droop to the ground and along which raindrops trickle down like

    tears.

    "ne of its distinctive characteristics is remaining

    green throughout the year pointing perhaps to thegoddess' fertility aspect which is further echoed in

    images showing her with an infant.

    The willow also has a deeper and direct connection with *hinese culture and it isbelieved that /ao T u the author of Tao te *hing loved to meditate under its shade (0th

    century B*). It was under the same tree that the younger *onfucius had his famousinterview with /ao T u telling his disciples afterwards& "I know how birds fly, fishes swim

    and animals run. But there is the dragon I !annot tell how he mounts on the windsthrough the !louds, and rises to hea en. Today, ha ing seen #ao T$u, I !an only

    !ompare him to the dragon."

    "ver centuries ,uan -in's visual depictions have highlighted her lithe flowing formmuch like the willow tree itself which has the ability to bend during the most ferociouswinds and then spring back into shape again. Indeed who wants to stand rigid like thetall oak that cracks and collapses in a storm1 Instead one needs to be fle#ible like the

    willow which survives the tempest.

    "r perhaps ,uan -in merely uses thewillow branch to sprinkle the divine nectar of

    life on her devotees which is stored in thevase she holds in her other hand.

    The *hinese (ever disposed to envisagefriendly divinities in ideali ed human forms)

    seem to have been initially perple#ed by valokiteshvara's comple# iconography. ot

    for them his thousand hands or even theseven eyes of Tara. 2#posed for eons to the

    essentially humanistic philosophy of *onfucianism such images were alien andfelt to be unsuitable for portraying the 'soft'emotion of karuna the yearning passion a

    mother feels for her child.

    The Tibetan mind solved the craving for adown to earth visual embodiment of karuna

    by envisioning the goddess Tara3 the*hinese genius did the same by enclosing

    this virtue in the graceful and beautiful ,uan-in who was eminently human in

    appearance and approachable by all.Indeed she gradually became the favoredgoddess of the peasants and fishermen of *hina retaining her place in their hearts to

    the present day.

    The Tibetan mind solved the craving for adown to earth visual embodiment of karuna

    by envisioning the goddess Tara3 the*hinese genius did the same by enclosingthis virtue in the graceful and beautiful ,uan

    -in who was eminently human inappearance and approachable by all.

    Indeed she gradually became the favoredgoddess of the peasants and fishermen of *hina retaining her place in their hearts to

    today.

    dditionally in *hina not only had popular gods always been real people who had once

    lived in specific times and places evenmythical figures were turned into historical

    cultural heroes who were then venerated asthe founding fathers of *hinese civili ation.4nlike 5reece where human heroes weretransformed into "lympian gods in *hina

    the reverse held true and if a god or goddesswas not perhaps originally a human beingthere was often an effort to turn her or him

    into one. ,uan -in thus again had to changefrom a goddess into a living woman so that

    she could be worshipped as a *hinesegoddess. Truly the human character of

    *hinese deities is one of the most distinctivefeatures of their religion and like ordinary

    mortals they too have birthdays ancestriescareers and titles. Therefore even though

    ,uan -in is not given a date of birth in any of the Buddhist sutras her birthday is widely

    celebrated on the nineteenth day of thesecond month of the lunar calendar.

    The legend describing how ,uan -in was

    once a woman gives a fascinating insightinto the working of the *hinese genius andthe process by which she was given a

    distinctively local flavor and absorbed intotheir pantheon&

    It is said that in the past there once lived aking under whose rule the people led a

    peaceful e#istence governed by *onfucianethics. %e had three daughters3 the eldesttwo having already married the grooms of

    their father's choice. The youngest offspring

    with an almost unearthly light so much so that the palace seemed on fire. She was thusbefittingly named 6iao Shan (!onderful 5oodness).

    Secondly as she grew up she wore only dirty clothes and never did display any urge to

    adorn herself. +urther she would subsist on only a single meal every day. In her conversations she would talk about the impermanence of material things and howhuman beings suffer because of their attachment to such ob7ects. aturally worriedabout their daughter's detached inclinations her parents proposed that (as per the*onfucian ideals of filial piety) she too marry a husband of their choice. To this she

    replied&

    8I would never for the sake of one lifetime of en7oyment plunge into aeons of misery. Ihave pondered on this matter and deeply detest this earthly union (marriage).8

    evertheless when her parents insisted she agreed to comply with their wishes if onlyher future mate would save her from the following three misfortunes&

    9). !hen people are young their face is as fair as the 7ade like moon but when theygrow old the hair turns white and faces become wrinkled3 whether walking restingsitting or lying down they are in every way worse off than when they were young.

    :). Similarly when our limbs are strong and vigorous one may walk as if flying throughair but when we suddenly becomes sick we are confined to the bed.

    ;). person may have a large group of relatives and be surrounded by his flesh andblood but when death comes even such close kin as father and son cannot take the

    person's place.

    +inally she concluded& 8If indeed my future husband can ensure my deliverance againstthese misfortunes I will gladly marry him. "therwise I vow to remain a spinster all mylife.

    nunnery were under the threat of death. She addressed them saying&

    8=on't you know the stories about the ancient prince 6ahasattva who plunged off thecliff in order to feed the hungry lions or ,ing Sivi's cutting off his flesh to save a dove1Since you have already left the life of a householder you should regard this material

    body as illusory and impermanent. !hy do you fear death and love life1 =on't you knowthat attachment to this dirty and smelly leather bag (body) is an obstacle18

    t the end of the stipulated period the monarch in a mad and fren ied reactionordered that 6iao Shan be beheaded. s her e#ecutioners approached the monastery

    gates 6iao Shan rushed out of the building eager to embrace her impending death. osooner had she kneeled at the stake and the deadly sword been raised than a blindingthunder rose. Before the assailants could regain their composure a tiger darted out of the darkness and carried away the swooning girl into the nearby hills. The king now

    beyond the bounds of reason ordered the hermitage to be burnt down with all itsinhabitants.

    It was not long before his karma caught up with him and he fell sick with kaamla(7aundice). %e was restless for days on end finding no rest even in sleep. The diseasespread all over his body and the best doctors throughout the land were unable to cure

    him. "ne day a holy mendicant came to his door and predicted& 8If some person wouldwillingly consent to give his or her arms or eyes without the slightest anger or

    resentment the eli#ir made of these potent ingredients will surely relieve you from your suffering.8

    8!here alas will I find such a compassionate being18 lamented the king. 8In this veryland 8 said the monk. 85o southwest in your dominion on top of the mountain there is ahermit who possesses all the characteristics which are necessary for your healing.8

    o sooner had he heard this than the king ordered his envoys to hurry to the abode of the recluse. "n being informed of his plight and its prescribed remedy the hermit readily

    agreed to undergo the supreme sacrifice re$uesting them to ask the suffering king todirect his mind to the three treasures of Buddhism and then very calmly proceeded togauge out both the eyes and asked one of the men to sever the two arms. The three

    worlds shook under the impact of this terrible sacrifice.

    !hen he had fully recovered the king made haste with his wife to pay homage to the

    one who had so miraculously saved his life. fter bowing low before the mutilated formas soon as they raised their heads they let out a shriek of astonished horror3 the hermit's

    true identity lay bare before them. She was none other than their youngest daughter 6iao Shan. >eali ing what she had done for him despite all that he had done to her theking fell prostrate upon the floor and asked for forgiveness. "vercome with emotion the

    parents embraced her and the father said& 8I am so evil that I have caused my owndaughter terrible suffering.8 6iao Shan replied

    8+ather I have suffered no pain. %aving given up these human eyes I shall see withdiamond eyes. %aving yielded the mortal arms I shall receive golden arms. If my calling

    is true all this will follow.8

    6uch sobered by this intense e#perience the king returned to his palace and ordered astatue to be made of her which emphasi ing her sacrifice was to be without eyes and

    hands. ow in *hinese the sound for 'bereft' or 'deficient' are virtually identical with'thousand.' t some stage in the transmission of this message the two words were

    confused and the sculptor toiled away desperately seeking some way to capture theessence of the king's wishes. %e very

    imaginatively (or perhaps following Indianor Tibetan models) placed one eye on eachpalm making the number of eyes e$ual to

    the arms

    giving rise in the process to an awesomeand comple# image of breathtaking

    splendor. 4nable to relate to thethousand armed valokiteshvara the

    above legend provided a rational e#planation to the bewildered viewer and helpedintegrate the goddess into the *hinese ethos.

    The story of 6iao Shan represents the fusion of the Buddhist theme of the gift of thebody and the *onfucian concept of filial piety. In the former tradition giving is one of the

    si# perfections performed by a bodhisattva (would be Buddha). mongst the differentforms of gifts that of one's own body is the best. The only difference is that while the

    bodhisattvas give up their bodies in order to feed or save sentient beings regardless of any formal relationship with them the fact that 6iao Shan does so for her father is

    where the *onfucian model comes in. In the former conte#t a tale is narrated of theBuddha who in one of his previous births was a pigeon. %e saw a man lose his wayduring a snowstorm driven to the point of starvation. The pigeon gathered twigs andleaves made a fire and threw himself wholeheartedly into it to become food for thedistressed soul. It is this lofty ideal that ,uan -in was following a self sacrifice par e#cellence motivated by pure (selfless) and indiscriminate compassion (karuna).

    "n the other hand ,uan -in as 6iao Shan gives a bold and provocative messagechallenging *onfucian value systems as delineated in the '*lassic of +ilial

    (published by the emperor ?uan in = @::). %er life glorifies austerity celibacy andrenunciation which as per Buddhism are highly valued (against the householder whois necessary in *onfucianism for creating offspring to perpetuate the lineage). In timesof the 6ing for e#ample one could achieve religious sanctification by performing one'sdomestic obligations to the fullest degree. 2ventually *hinese of all social strata and

    both se#es came to know ,uan -in as the strong willed yet filial girl who refused to getmarried and rebelled against stifling authority.

    Con$lu!ion,

    The goddess ,uan -in is a symbol notonly of the *hinese assimilation of

    Buddhism but also of the many huedflavor of karuna e#pressed through the

    softer wisdom of a woman. She is apointer to the re emergence of the

    goddess and the gender transformationof valokiteshvara in *hina representsperhaps a universal imperative which

    is similarly reflected in the emanation of the goddess Tara from the

    compassionate tears of the samebodhisattva. Though often images areencountered which show her sporting

    a moustache emphasi ing masculinity3this is negated by the softness of her

    demeanor.
