Avalokitasvara Guanyin Goddess of Mercy Buddhism Copper Statue

Is Avalokitesvara (Guanyin) male or female?

Avalokitesvara, widely known as Guanyin in China, is a symbol of compassion and wisdom in Mahayana Buddhism. Guanyin was actually male, his image was changed from male to female as his worshipers were mostly women when Buddhism was introduced into China in the early days.

Beautiful statue with Buddhism text

The engraved Chinese characters are part of the Chinese version Prajnaparamita.

"舍利子，是诸法空相，不生不灭，不垢不净，不增不减。
