Description
We can’t know how she will call us or what our response will be. Like the Buddha at the brink of starvation opening to an offering of milk, Guanyin enters when we need a new path.
Summary
Tess Beasley talks about the water nature of Guanyin. Water is the softest compound that can overwhelm the hardest. Like water, compassion dissolves and connects us: a force greater than any striving.
There is a call-and-response of our relationship to Guanyin. There is a great intimacy and spaciousness in abiding nowhere together.
We can’t know how she will call us or what our response will be. Like the Buddha at the brink of starvation opening to an offering of milk, Guanyin enters when we need a new path.
