Product Description

Product Description
Kuan Yin, the ancient Chinese goddess of Compassion, is the principal goddess in the Eastern firmament. Wherever there are Chinese or Japanese speaking people in the world - in homes, restaurants, workplaces, small urban temples and shrines - Kuan Yin's image can be found. The ritual of consulting her has brought solace, hope and insight to countless people and it continues to be an integral part of the lives of tens of millions of people throughout the East today. Stephen Karcher's interpretation of this ancient text presents 'The 100 Poems of the Goddess', as relevant today as they were 1000 years ago, in an extremely easy to use and amazingly insightful form. Simply ask the oracle a question. By opening your heart to the answer, you allow yourself to be 're-arranged' by the symbol or figure Kuan Yin gives you. Then turn to the relevant page for that symbol in the book, where you will find directions to help you focus your energy and choose the right path to find an answer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another quality act from Karcher, 6 April 2005
By J. Walters "gasda" (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Karcher better known for his superb 'tour de force' on the I Ching scores another hit with this oracular book. The story prefacing the oracle is essential reading in the quest for the 'Goddess of Compassion", although Blofeld's book on Kuan Yin is also a big hitter. If this is the only book you buy this year make it this one.
