🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"What did people pray for before the figure of the compassionate Guanyin?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This is a Chinese image of Guanyin by an unknown painter, where the earnest wishes of people gather upon the gentle expression. Guanyin was said to hear the voices of the suffering and look down upon them with care. I weigh the hearts of the old people who would have stood before this painting. A person, when weak and afraid, longs for someone to listen. I see that Guanyin's greatest virtue is not the power to give but the heart to listen. In the act of listening, compassion already dwells.
