Compassionate Avalokiteśvara (Guanshiyin) Bodhisattva: Responding to All Requests

Compassion means love; He loves sentient beings, having unlimited, immense love for them. When one makes a request, He always responds to it, even though being always responsive is not His Vow… In many lifetimes, time and time again, He always becomes an icon of the saha world, the beloved one of sentient beings.

The Foundation of Becoming a Buddha

Medicine Buddha

Only one with a heart of compassion can perform deed of compassion; the heart and the deeds of compassion are inseparable. Compassion for whom? For all sentient beings. Seeing the afflictions, suffering, and the cycle of life and death endured by all beings, compassionate arose in his heart.
