Guanyin Bodhisattva manifests in thirty-three different forms to assist various sentient beings and teaches different methods according to their needs. Among the numerous Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, Guanyin Bodhisattva is the most well-known and revered by the general public.
- Turning adversity into auspiciousness, facing difficulties with auspicious outcomes
Guanyin Bodhisattva, renowned for great compassion and mercy, is famous for rescuing beings from distress. Whenever beings are in distress, as long as they sincerely and devotedly chant the sacred name of Guanyin, Guanyin Bodhisattva can hear the cry of each being and come to their rescue. Therefore, a jade Guanyin pendant symbolizes turning adversity into auspiciousness, dispelling disasters and solving difficulties.

According to the Lotus Sutra: “If a woman desires a son, by worshipping and offering to Guanyin Bodhisattva, she will give birth to a son endowed with virtue, wisdom, and handsome appearance; if desiring a daughter, she will give birth to a daughter of upright character and beautiful appearance, loved and respected by many.” People visit Guanyin temples to pray for blessings and fertility. They believe Guanyin can bless them with children and ensure their prosperity for generations – Guanyin as the bestower of offspring.
- Successful Career and Prosperity
The name ‘Guanyin’ phonetically resembles ‘official seal’ in Chinese. In ancient times, men who succeeded in the imperial examination and attained official positions would have boundless prospects. Today, wearing a jade Guanyin pendant symbolizes a smooth official career, successful endeavors, and abundant wealth.
There is a saying in folk culture: ‘Men wear Guanyin, women wear Buddha.’ Guanyin embodies a gentle nature.
