Quan Yin riding the Holy Dragon

Quan Yin riding the Holy Dragon is a screen saver inspired by a deity of the Buddhist tradition. Also known as Kuan Yin, QuanAm (Vietnam), Kannon (Japan), and Kanin (Bali), She is the embodiment of compassionate loving kindness. As the Bodhisattva of Compassion, She hears the cries of all beings. Quan Yin enjoys a strong resonance with the Christian Mary Magdalene, and the Tibetan goddess Tara.
Quan Yins name is a translation of the Sanskrit name of her chief progenitor which is Avalokitesvara, also known as Avalokita. In its proper form it is Kuanshih Yin, which means "She who harkens to the cries of the world."
Buddhist mythology tells of Avalokitesvaras being born from a ray of light that sprang from Amitabha Buddhas right eye. He immediately said, "Om Mane Padme Hum". This is one of the mantras by which he can be invoked in Buddhist tradition.
