Flying Celestial (Apsara), from a set of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva and Flying Celestials https://collections.artsmia.org/art/17458/
Flying Apsaras, right arm outstretched, left holds a plate of flowers, left leg pendant, right knee flexed. These paintings were once part of a much larger composition—now dispersed among several collections in the United States—that originally formed the wall of a temple in north-central China, possibly Cishengsi in far northern Henan province. All together the set depicts a trio of seated bodhisattvas. Each one is flanked by standing attendant bodhisattvas and surrounded by other attendants performing rituals. They are also accompanied by flying celestials (apsara) in a paradise-like setting based on Esoteric Buddhist teachings. The seated bodhisattva here, originally the leftmost of the three primary figures, is backed by a halo and wears elaborate robes and jewelry. In his large crown is a small depiction of a buddha, the superior being from which the bodhisattva emanated.

Buddhist practice: At first glance this sculpture appears to represent the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara but is in fact Vajrasattva. wp.me/pFy3u-4hC.

so beautiful 🙏 🥲

🎶 Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, when practicing deeply the prajña paramita, perceived that all five skandhas in their own-being are empty and was relieved all suffering....

What a spiritual practice actually looks like:
Wooden statue of the priest (monk) Baozhi with the inner Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, manifesting from within at the moment when he reaches the moment of enlightenment: his earthly shell opens, revealing to the light his true essence - Buddha.

#stunday - visiting a temple is always stunning for me. So beautiful, peaceful, heartwarming, grafifying, soul reviving. #China #religion #buddism
A richly decorated golden statue of the Thousand-Armed Avalokiteshvara (Guanyin) stands at the center of a temple altar, surrounded by lit lamps, flowers, and intricate murals depicting celestial figures on the walls. A group of people dressed in dark robes stand in prayer before three large golden Buddha statues inside a temple. The statues are seated on ornate lotus pedestals with colorful carved backdrops, surrounded by flowers and offerings. A person stands outside a temple holding incense sticks raised in prayer. In the background, monks can be seen inside the temple before a large golden Buddha statue. The foreground shows an incense pit filled with red incense sticks.

May we listen to the cries of this world: Avalokiteshvara, She who hears the cries of suffering in our world May we respond without hesitation: Samantabhadra, She who enacts wisdom and compassionate activity.

Avalokiteshvara est le bodhisattva de la compassion (ou vaguement), il passe l'Himalaya il devient Guanyin la bodhisattva de la compassion et une immortelle du Taoïsme (entre autres)

Donc c'était un mec cis-himalayen et une meuf trans-himalayenne...
