Becoming Kuan Yin- Stephen Levine

Becoming Kuan Yin- Stephen Levine  In Becoming Kuan Yin, Levine turns to the legend of Kuan Yin, the Bodhistitva venerated by East Asian Buddhists for her compassion. This is the story of how Miao Shan refused to follow the path her father had in mind and, instead, became Kuan Yin, the first acknowledged female Buddha who watches over the dying and those who work with them. Levine weaves together story and practice and helps readers discover their own infinite capacity for mercy and compassion under difficult circumstances.
