Kwan Yin or Kwan Yin Pu Sa/ “ Tibetan Chenrezig/Green Tara) is the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion, & is one of the most popular Bodhisattvas in all of Asia.
Her name roughly translates as “The One who Hears the Cries of the World.” It is reckoned that Kwan Yin Dzi brings forth mental tranquility, and ensures safety in traffic. She is believed to hear the cries of humans and attempts to assists with reliving the pain human experience.
Note that there might be another figure on the other side of the Kwan Yin. These second figures can be a wide variety of symbols.
Once would need to read for the other symbol as well as for Kwan Yin.
