Is Guanyin from China or Indian?
Guanyin belongs to India.

Guanyin Bodhisattva originated from Indian Buddhism. At first, she was a male image, representing sympathy and wisdom. However, with the introduction of Buddhism into China, her image changed and she was gradually regarded as a goddess. There are many reasons for this change, some of which may be related to China's traditional culture and religious beliefs.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, the name of Buddhist Bodhisattva, is also translated as Guangshiyin. The new translations are Guanyin and Guanyin, transliterated as Apo Lu Ji Di Shivalo and A Jin Lu Zhi Duo Yi Shivalo. Amitabha is one of the "Three Saints of the West". Buddhism regards avalokitesvara as a bodhisattva with great compassion, and all victims only need to recite its name.

Main story

With regard to Guanyin Bodhisattva, the 82 volumes 100 of Cheng Guang Definition Sutra, Vimalakīrti Sutra, Guang Guang Prajna Sutra, Guangzan Prajna Sutra and Dabaoji Sutra all listed the name of this bodhisattva, but did not list the story of its origin. In Hokkekyo, there is a product to explain the beneficial life of this bodhisattva in the women's world.

In addition, the third volume of "Notes of the Bodhisattvas in the Sutra of Sorrow" states that Amitabha's eldest son, who was a wheel king in his previous life, was neither sad nor sad, and became a monk in front of the Buddha, vowing that all sentient beings would be relieved of all kinds of pains and worries if they could remember me and pronounce my name. Baofo gave him a record and named it Guanyin.
