4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of hisorical facts and interesting poems., November 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Kuan Yin: Myths and Revelations of the Chinese Goddess of Compassion (Chinese Classics) (Paperback)
This book gives much historical information in a short space. It also contains the 100 divination poems. The beginning is a bit dry but all in all a good book. The only thing I was hoping to find and did not was more stories about people who had had special or miraculous occurances that they attribute to her.

5.0 out of 5 stars revelations of kuan yin told by close friends., August 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Kuan Yin: Myths and Revelations of the Chinese Goddess of Compassion (Chinese Classics) (Paperback)
i was not a devotee for kuan yin.but after reading this book,i realised that there are indeed miracles associated with kuan yin,which came to my mind after reading this book.similar to one of the book's account of an example of kuan yin revelation,i had also a true account of kuan yin's help given to my mom's neighbour.a neighbour of ours happens to go out to attend some urgent things while forgeting to switch off the gas stove.a fire started and i was quite big.fortunately my neighbour who was told about the fire started to ask kuan yin for help.strangely enough,the fire suddenly extinguished by itself without anyone trying to put it off.it was witness by my mom and some friends who were desperately trying to open the locked door.finally when the door was opened,my mon saw a statue of kuan yin at the kitchen,still intact,serene and untouched by the fire.such was the strange things that kuan yin has always help people who ask her for help.maybe ,the author would like to find out more about kuan yin's revelations by asking among kuan yin's devotees in china,taiwan hk or south east asia in the future.thanks
