Is Guanyin a Buddha or a God?
Guanyin belongs to both Buddhism and Taoism, but the division of labor is different. ?

First of all, Guanyin in Buddhism is accompanied by Amitabha as a western Buddha. Guanyin is generally a woman, so it is called the "three saints" in Buddhism! Guanyin Bodhisattva represents the wisdom and compassion of Buddhism, and the "great compassion" we usually worship is out of the Buddhist language. ?

As for Guanyin in Taoism, she was one of the first people to explain Twelve Jinxian. Her name in Taoism is Taoist Ci Hai. At that time, it coincided with the war of sealing gods, and some western immortals came to help out. It was precisely because they saw the Taoist Ci Hai show their great power that they all thought Guanyin was very powerful, and finally they were extradited to the west, which was the process of Guanyin's entry into Buddhism from Taoism. In the end, she became a respected master of Guanyin in Buddhism, and the slogan of "great mercy and great compassion" was widely circulated. ?

The folklore of Guanyin?

There is a jurchen in Chaozhou Cave of Luojiayan in Putuo. It is said that the Shang Dynasty practiced here, and she gained magical power and made a wish to live on earth. Tasting Dan medicine manna water helps others, and people in the South China Sea call it Tzu Hang Da Shi. ?

Because of Zhou Wang's helplessness, he often harmed the people in order to win the favor of da ji. In order to get the hand-eye of Cihang's mother, Cihang offered the hand-eye, and her filial piety touched the sky. Nu Wa Niangniang taught the skill of being kind and sailing with thousands of hands and eyes, and instructed her to learn from Yuan Zun. According to legend, Yuan Zun taught Tzu Chi's space book "Tao Te Ching" and made him cultivate immortality in Putuo Mountain, which was named Tzu Hang Chang, also known as Thousand Hands Immortal.
