鎂悽壒 [py] Guan1shi4yin1 [wg] Kuan-shih-yin [ko] Kwanseûm [ja] 僇儞僛僆儞 Kanzeon ||| The bodhisattva Avalokite`svara, whose name is interpreted as "The One who Observes the Sounds of the World." This particular Chinese rendering is that done by Kumaarajiiva, most importantly in his translation of the Lotus Sutra. Dharmapaala translated the name as guangshiyin 岝悽壒 and Xuangzang translated as guanzizai 鎂帺嵼. Also commonly written as 鎂壒 and 鎂悽帺嵼. Avalokite`svara is one of the most important Bodhisattvas in the Mahaayaana tradition, considered the embodiment of the Buddhist virtue of compassion. He/she is interpreted to be the power of the buddha Amitaabha manifested as a bodhisattva, and is therefore often depicted as the helper of the buddha of the Pure Land 熌搚. Since Avalokite`svara is capable of manifesting 33 forms of incarnation to save people according to their capacities, he/she is depicted iconographically in 33 different ways, which are distinguished by the number of heads and arms as well as by the attributes held in the hands. One of the most important loci classicus for the description of Avalokite`svara is the chapter on the Universal Gate of Avalokite`svara Bodhisattva 鎂悽壒曥嶧晛栧昳 in the Lotus Sutra 朄壺鉙, where the rationale for his/her naming is given.乲朄壺鉙丄T 262.9.56a乴
Regarding the difference in the Chinese renderings: When Xuangzang rendered the name as 鎂帺嵼, he was reading the original Sanksrit as avalokita ("observe") + i`svara ("unimpeded"), which accords with the Tibetan rendering of spyan ras gzigs dba.n phyug. Kumaarajiiva's rendering interprets the original name to be Avalokitasvara, meaning a compassionate buddha or bodhisattva who is sensitive to, and responds to the suffering of sentient beings.
