{"product_id":"becoming-kuan-yin-the-evolution-of-compassion","title":"Becoming Kuan Yin: The Evolution of Compassion","description":"This book will have resonance for Kuan Yin's millions of followers.\nIn his long career as a poet, Buddhist teacher, spiritual advisor, and writer, Stephen Levine has changed our understanding of death and dying. In Becoming Kuan Yin, Levine's first new book in many years, he turns to the legend of Kuan Yin, the Bbodhistitva venerated by East Asian Buddhists for her compassion.\n\nIn Becoming Kuan Yin, Levine shares the tale of Miao Shan, born centuries ago to a cruel king who wanted her to marry a wealthy but uncaring man. This is the story of how Miao Shan refused to follow the path her father had in mind and, instead, became Kuan Yin, the first acknowledged female Buddha who watches over the dying and those who work with them.\n\nLevine weaves together story and practice and helps readers discover their own infinite capacity for mercy and compassion under difficult circumstances.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1578635551\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1578635551.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Levine, Stephen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
