Legend has it that in ancient Times, the plague epidemic in Hangzhou City happened to be a famine year, and there was no harvest, and the local civilians were poor and miserable.

One day, a large boat suddenly anchored on the lake in the city, and at the bow of the boat sat a beautiful woman who begged for the lives of the poor, and if anyone paid for her, she would live in his house and serve him, and use the money she received to help the victims. The people on the shore scrambled to buy her, and they couldn't stand each other. In the end, the way of investing money is adopted, and whoever hits her with money can win her back. So, the ship was full of copper coins, gold, and silver, and they were thrown down and piled up on the bow, but none of them fell on the beautiful woman. Everyone was disappointed and had to give up. The woman smiled, clapped her hands together to thank the people on the shore, and gave every donated money to the poor.

When the news came, it caused a sensation throughout the city of Hangzhou, and the rich people were touched by her chivalrous behavior and generously donated money. Thus the sick are healed, the poor are given money, the hungry are given food, and the human heart is comforted and satisfied.

Suddenly, the woman's ship was full of light and radiance, and a solemn bodhisattva of the Dharma was smiling, and everyone was very surprised. She said, "I am Avalokiteshvara, and I have come to enlighten and awaken everyone's compassion, compassion and compassion, noble affection." Helping others is the most sacred source, and helping the weak is the unshirkable nature of all sentient beings. Your deeds today are very commendable, all beings will be happy, I will always live in everyone's home to bless you, you just have to praise 'Avalokiteshvara'. "After saying that, there is no shadow.

On the spot, someone remembered her image and painted a picture of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Guanyin Bodhisattva gave the portrait mana to everyone, and the bodhisattva fulfilled it, and she really lived in the home of every person who did good deeds and accumulated virtue, and to this day. This story was widely circulated in China, adding to people's belief in Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Anyone who studies Buddhism, as long as you are willing to help others, you are learning from a bodhisattva, and you will certainly become a bodhisattva in the future.
