The world needs to embrace the unconditional love She emanates and incorporate this love into our lives." Yes, that is what we are striving for.<br />Thank you, my friend.

The Divine Mother goes back eons from time immemorial. Yet She (Divine Feminine) is alive and eternally present within us, not separated from us or the world we live in. In the Far East we have Kwannon (Japan), or Guanyin in Chinese, the Goddess of Mercy, who is actually a female manifestation of Avalokitesvara. A Bodhisattva is an entity that renounces the last liberation in order to help all sentient beings attain liberation first. A Bodhisattva is a symbol of pure unconditional love. During the Edo period in Japan when to profess to be Christian was punishable by death, many Christians displayed Mother Mary by using the image of Kwannon. In Tibet the female Bodhisattva Tara came from the tears shed by Avalokitesvara when he cried at all the suffering in the universe. There are several manifestations of Tara in Tibetan Buddhism, the Green Tara being the most common. It is interesting to note that the Green Tara is known as a protector from various dangers. It seems that the Divine Feminine is linked to being a savior, protector and rescuer in times of danger as a Mother always looks to protect her children. It may be of benefit for us to contemplate the attributes of the Divine Feminine. The world needs to embrace the unconditional love She emanates and incorporate this love into our lives.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209551489584694322noreply@blogger.com
