Guanyin has a well-known legend.
According to legend, Miaoshan, the third daughter of Xinglin King, likes practicing kungfu. She used to be a nun in Baique Temple. Later, because King Miao Zhuang forced her to secularize, Baique Temple was burned down, resulting in the death of hundreds of nuns. Miaoshan went to Cangyan Mountain to practice by white tiger. Later, because his father had a strange disease-facial sores, he needed his daughter's hands and eyes as an introduction to medicine, so Sanhuanggu gave up her hands and eyes as a father.
After King Miao Zhuang recovered from his illness, he wanted Sanhuanggu to be a bodhisattva with both hands and feet, and to build a temple for him to make him more golden. However, due to excessive excitement, it was called "a thousand hands and a thousand eyes".
King Miao Zhuang originally came from the lower realm of God, and the real dragon emperors were all eloquent, and the phrase "a thousand hands and a thousand eyes" was conveyed to the builders. Therefore, when the temple was built, many hands and eyes were given to the golden body of Sanhuanggu, which is today's thousand-handed and thousand-eyed bodhisattva.
There is also a saying that Guanyin once vowed to be universal to all beings, but there are so many beings who feel quite incompetent. Therefore, Guanyin was divided into forty-two bodhisattvas with great compassion to help the world.
Guanyin's master, Infinite Buddha, advised, "Don't be impatient, take your time, or haste makes waste." Later, the Infinite Buddha gathered 42 individuals together, leaving 42 arms and one eye on each palm to represent an incarnation.
Apart from the two arms of the main body, there are forty arms, each of which represents twenty-five hands and twenty-five eyes, and the two numbers are multiplied into one thousand. This is Guanyin with a thousand hands.
Many people think that the multi-armed bodhisattva is Guanyin with a thousand hands, but it is not.
Guanyin with a thousand hands and Zhunti Bodhisattva are both multi-armed Buddha statues. Don't mistake Zhunti Bodhisattva with multiple arms for Guanyin with a thousand hands.
