Bodhisattva of Compassion: The Mystical Tradition of Kuan Yin

John Blofeld’s classic study traces the history of Kuan Yin (as the male figure Avalokiteshvara) to Tibet, China, and beyond, along the way highlighting her close connection to other figures such as Tara and Amitabha. Bodhisattva of Compassion also contains meditation and visualization techniques associated with the Bodhisattva of Compassion, and translations of poems and yogic texts devoted to her.
