43. Guanyin is a bhodisitva in buddhism.
Edited on Sun Nov-23-08 05:12 PM by conscious evolution
She turned down buddhahood to help others reach buddhahood.
When she turned back from the Dragons gate the other buddhas each gave her one of their hands to help her.That is where jesus got his healers hands.
It is also why they show the nails thru his hands.Think of it along the lines of the crazy dentist in the movie The Maraton Man.Only using acupuncture instead.It is a symbolic way of telling people that healing only comes through god instead of it being something anyone can do.

One more thing.When Jesus took on the worlds sin while on the cross many buddhist look at that as taking on evryones bad karma.But only for people alive at that time.Anyone born since still has to deal with their karma on their own.
