Sand Art of Avalokiteśvara - Guan Yin - The Goddess of Mercy by Singapore Sand Artist Lawrence

Avalokiteśvara (Sanskrit: अवलोकितेश्वर lit. "Lord who looks down") is a bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas. Portrayed in different cultures as either male or female, Avalokiteśvara is one of the more widely revered bodhisattvas in mainstream Mahayana Buddhism, as well as unofficially in Theravada Buddhism.

The original name for this bodhisattva was Avalokitasvara. The Chinese name for Avalokiteśvara is Guānshìyīn Púsà (觀世音菩薩), which is a translation of the earlier name "Avalokitasvara Bodhisattva." This bodhisattva is variably depicted as male or female, and may also be referred to simply as Guānyīn.

Having performed my sand art in Singapore / Asia and international performances and events, I totally enjoyed seeing stories being told and evolved through sand, music and light; bringing audience into the surreal world of sand art. May the beauty of sand art brings happiness, inspiration and motivation to everyone... Never forget your dreams!

"To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour."
