Discovering Kwan Yin, Buddhist Goddess of Compassion by Sandy Boucher

Discovering Kwan Yin, Buddhist Goddess of Compassion by Sandy Boucher

Sandy Boucher, celebrated author of Opening the Lotus and Turning the Wheel, now offers North American readers their first opportunity to share in Kwan Yin's illuminating wisdom. Along with providing meditations, chants, and prayers this lovely, illustrated volume recounts the stories of this bodhisattva (one who delays her own full enlightenment to work for the liberation of all beings) and explains Kwan Yin's role in Buddhism. Discovering Kwan Yin is sure to become an important spiritual touchstone for those who seek to celebrate the goddess in their lives, to give and receive the loving power of her presence.

Sandy Boucher has written six books, the most recent of which being Spinning the Wheel: American Women Shaping the New Buddhism. She has traveled widely around Asia and spent a brief period as a nun on Ayya Khema's Nuns Island in Sri Lanka. Boucher is involved in feminism and Buddhism, and she has dealt with cancer patients since her diagnosis in 1995/96. She is a resident of Oakland, California.
