(113) Kannon (Kanzeon, Quan-yin) Goddess of Compassion
Kanzeon! Hail to Buddha!
We are one with Buddha,
Bound to the Awakened One,
And to the Buddha, Dharma, & Sangha.
We are always joyful and pure—
In the morning thinking of Kanzeon,
In the evening thinking of Kanzeon,
Continuous thoughts rise from the heart,
Those thoughts never leave our hearts.

Baba Ichiro (1888-1959) ran an art supply store in Tokyo. After experiencing a vision of Kannon, Ichiro began to brush Kannon paintings to distribute to the public at large. During a thirty-year period Ichiro brushed 33,787 such paintings. His Kannon paintings have a particularly sweet and serene feeling to them. Original mounting.
