Another great top 10 list, Carrie. And great stuff to know.
She set the palace on fire? Whoa.
...that's all I'm hearing you say!
And Q.Y. is Green Tara of the Tibetan tradition.
Love that she turned hell into heaven.
Love that she is Green Tara!
Wow! Cool list. Cool lady - both the goddess type and you. Just read your new bio - I agree with Kim, it's awesome.
All I'm saying is that we may not have Kuan Yin's magical powers but all off us can be a Kuan Yin with COMPASSION, using our eyes and hands to help others and our COMPASSION to help bring peace and tranquility to this beautiful planet. Thanks for the 10 ten list, it is really great stuff to know, a lot I did not know. Love.
i don't get it.
Amazing list! I'm going to have to read more about this new fantastic goddess. Takes one to know one.
And anonymous, I don't get what's not to get??
