Features: For such a Buddhist Bodhisattva, it is not enough to simply list the relevant texts from scriptures, nor can one generally enumerate the manifestations of the Bodhisattva. To better understand Avalokite?vara, it is necessary to fully present the faith form, cultural form, and social entity form of Avalokite?vara. This book is compiled based on the authority of scriptures, the inheritance of tradition, and the opportunistic means of manifestation. These three principles were established many years ago by the Chinese Buddhist Cultural Research Institute. Scriptures are the foundation of faith, tradition is the root of culture, and the opportunistic means are reflected in the form of expression. To better highlight the cultural form of Avalokite?vara and provide readers with vivid experiences and aesthetic appreciation, this book adopts a (image-text) format. To deepen readers' understanding of Avalokite?vara, the author has comprehensively collected the scriptures and conducted a meticulous and detailed analysis of the Avalokite?vara image, making this book possess considerable academic value.
