      since this somehow became my avalokiteśvara thread, I should probably mention some other curious things I've discovered about this popular bodhisattva in my travels

      probably like most people, I first heard the name 'guan yin' (觀音, "observe sound") as part of the famous and excellent oolong tea sometimes translated as "iron goddess of mercy". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tieguanyin

      I've seen countless guan yin statues in taiwan and vietnam, where she is treated and depicted similarly to the virgin mary (almost suspiciously so)https://twitter.com/suchaone/status/986541198130135040 …

      for comparison, here is a vietnamese quan am statue. inside it is the standard chinese/vietnamese "western trinity" of pureland buddhism: địa tạng (kṣitigarbha) a di đà (amitabha) and quán âm (avalokitasvara) pic.twitter.com/n5w11KaBHR

      I've come across the many-armed and many-faced versions in those countries as well, though they are less common (sometimes a temple would have a large statue using the now standard depiction, and a smaller many-armed version somewhere off to the side)

      in japan this bodhisattva is called kannon, and the one in sendai was once the world's largest statuehttps://twitter.com/suchaone/status/986538064737591297 …

      from the outside, the daikannon statue in sendai looks identical to the pureland guanyins you see all over vietnam and china. inside it contains 108 vajrayana statues of buddhas, bodhisattvas, vidyarajas, devas, avatars, and patriarchs pic.twitter.com/NFgqP9eA3l

      weird translation. "riposte of causality" was probably originally something like "karmic revenge".
