The Legend of the Goddess of Compassion

Miao Shan is an unusual princess. She enjoys spending time in silence with forest creatures, helping nature and people. Her heart is full of love, and she dreams of always being useful to this world. But her father has other plans – he intends to marry off his daughter. Miao Shan does not agree to this: thanks to her sister, she runs away from home and begins her difficult journey to one day become… the goddess of compassion Kuan Yin. This ancient Chinese legend is unlike any other! An incredibly touching story about sisterhood, the power of will, and following one's own path, it tells the life of a real Chinese princess who became one of the most venerated goddesses in Buddhism.
