I received my Kuan Yin Box in the mail today finally...

I haven't read all the book but I quite enjoyed reading this Kuan Yin song and I thought I'd share it here...

South Sea Temple, Purple Bamboo Grove.

Kuan Yin emerges from Purple Bamboo Grove.

A daughter-in-law from the ends of the earth worships Kuan Yin.

Having been worshipped, Kuan Yin appears in front of my eyes.

A thousand good roads lead to Rocky Mountain.

Adoration of Kuan Shih Yin, the Great Compassionate One.

 

and this one...

 

When the spring breeze blows and the water is clear.

I must go to Hangchow to worship Kuan Yin.

Look at the high mountain with a thousand buddhas,

Look at the West Lake with the limpid water.

The West Lake has bridges spaning fifteen and sixteen li.

The West Lakes faces the Ling-yin Temple.

And the Ling-yin temple faces the Fragrant water bridge.

Willow trees alternate with peach trees.

Granny Kuan Yin lives in the mountain creek of nine winding paths.

I came bearing incense from another country, from another province.

Adoration to the buddha, Amitabha.
