She can appear in the world as either male or female. Guanyin is a bodhisattva associated with compassion. In the East Asian world, Guanyin is the equivalent term for Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. The Threefold Lotus Sutra describes Guan Yin as a Bodhisattva who can take any form. She can transform into a male, female, adult, child, elder, human, or non-human, to teach the Dharma. The Threefold Lotus Sutra states that Guan Yin has 33 different manifestations. Seven of these are female.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRepresentations of Guan Yin in the Song Dynasty were masculine in appearance. Images and statues of Guan Yin during this time later became both genders because of the Lotus Sutra. Because Guan Yin is considered to be the personification of compassion and kindness, and a mother-goddess as well as a patroness of mothers and sailors, the representation of the Bodhisattva became mostly female around the 12th century. In the modern period, Guan Yin is often depicted as a beautiful, young white-robed woman, a depiction which derives from the earlier Pandaravasini form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSize with Silk:   26 x 34 Inch (  66 x 86 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nInner Painting:  11 x 15 -Inch  ( 28 x 38 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Handmade Cotton Canvas \u003cbr\u003e\nColor: Gold and Natural colors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e- All the Paintings will be rolled and safely packed inside a Paper or PVC Tube to ensure safety during transportation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e- Actual color of the paintings may vary slightly due to light conditions during photo shooting and computer screen resolution.
