Guanyin, Bodhisattva of Compassion

Guanyin is the Chinese form of the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. The name means Perceiver of all Sounds. The figure began in India. Buddhism reached China along the Silk Roads, where the bodhisattva was adopted and adapted.

A Figure That Changed Form

Indian depictions are male or genderless, but Chinese depictions often show a woman. A popular form is the White-Robed Guanyin on Mount Putuo. A mural in Mogao Cave 45 at Dunhuang dates to 705 to 781 CE.

Using and Storing Your Oil

Add a few drops of this Kuan Yin fragrance oil to your own base. A patchouli coconut scent suits a warm, creamy blend. A cedar honey fragrance oil note stays soft on skin products. Browse more scents in the Fragrance Oils collection or the full Museumize fragrance collection. Keep the cap tight and store the bottle upright, away from heat and direct sun.

Guanyin appears in Chinese art in carved ivory, painted caves and ink scrolls. A honey musk scent offers a soft, quiet parallel. Many choose a patchouli coconut scent for a cozy bathroom shelf. A cedar honey fragrance oil sits well beside a small statue.
