Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, also known as Avalokite ś vara in Sanskrit, is a transliteration of the Sanskrit word Avalokite ś vara. It is also translated as "Avalokitesvara" or "Avalokitesvara" and transliterated as "Avalokitesvara" or "Avalokitesvara". Amitabha Buddha's left attendant, one of the "Three Saints of the West".
Buddhism believes that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is a compassionate and benevolent bodhisattva. When suffering beings recite his name, the Bodhisattva immediately observes his voice and goes to save and liberate them, hence the name. During the Tang Dynasty, due to the taboo of using the name of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, the character "shi" was removed and he was briefly referred to as "Guanyin".

Regarding Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, the titles of this Bodhisattva are listed in the "Sutra of Enlightenment and Determination," "Vimalakirti Sutra," "Prajnaparamita Sutra of Radiance," "Prajnaparamita Sutra of Radiance," and "Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra," Volume 82 and Volume 100, respectively, but not in the deeds of the original intention. In the Lotus Sutra, there is a detailed description of the beneficial life of this Bodhisattva in the Saha world. In addition, Volume 3 of the "Abhidharma Sutra" titled "Biographies of Bodhisattvas" describes how Amitabha Buddha's eldest son, Bu Sui, who was the Wheel King Wu Zheng Nian in his past life, became a monk in front of the Treasure Buddha and made a vow that if any sentient being suffered from various afflictions and fears, if he could remember me and call my name, it would relieve him of such suffering and afflictions. Treasure Buddha bestowed upon him the name Guanyin.

Guanyin Bodhisattva is one of the four great bodhisattvas in Chinese Buddhism. According to legend, his birthday is on the 19th day of the second lunar month, the day of enlightenment is on the 19th day of the sixth lunar month, and the day of Nirvana is on the 19th day of the ninth lunar month. It is said that the Taoist temple is Mount Putuo. The belief in Guanyin has had a profound influence in China, leading to various folk legends about Guanyin Bodhisattva, such as the widely circulated belief that Guanyin is Princess Miaoshan, the third princess of King Miaozhuang of Xinglin Kingdom. This kind of female Guanyin legend can first be seen in Zhu Ben's "Qu Yu Jiuwen" during the Song Dynasty. Afterwards, Guan Daosheng's biography "Biography of Guanyin Bodhisattva" became a complete biography during the late Song and early Yuan dynasties. Based on this, a large number of Guanyin storybooks such as "Xiangshan Baojuan", "The Complete Biography of Guanyin in the South China Sea", and "Guanyin's Path" have also emerged.

There are various names and images of Guanyin, such as the Six Guanyin, Seven Guanyin, and Thirty Three Guanyin (referred to as the Thirty Three Bodies), but generally speaking of Guanyin refers to the overall Holy Guanyin. The statue of Guanyin in Chinese temples often depicts a female figure. The statue of the female goddess Guanyin began in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and flourished after the Tang Dynasty. The "Thirty Three Bodies" of Guanyin are often mentioned. According to the seventh volume of the Lotus Sutra, "Universal Door Rank," Guanyin is manifested in thirty-three forms through the manifestation of universal colors and three phenomena: one Buddha body, two Abhidharma Buddha bodies, three Sound Hearing bodies, four Brahma King bodies, five Emperors releasing bodies, six in Heaven bodies, seven in Heaven bodies, eight in Heaven General bodies, nine in Vairocana bodies, ten in Minor King bodies, eleven in Elder bodies, twelve in laymen bodies, thirteen in Chief Officials bodies, fourteen in Brahmin bodies, fifteen in Bhikkhus bodies, sixteen in Bhikkhunis bodies, seventeen in Bodhisattva bodies, eighteen in Bodhisattva bodies, nineteen in Elder Women bodies, twenty in layman Women bodies, and twenty in Elder Women bodies. The body of a female official, the body of 22 Brahmin women, the body of 23 young men, the body of 24 young women, the body of 25 heavenly beings, the body of 26 dragon beings, the body of 27 night forks, the body of 28 dried tassels, the body of 29 Asuras, the body of 30 kaloras, and the body of 31 tight naaras, Thirty two bodies of Magadha and thirty-three bodies of Vajrayana.
