Sunny: Growing up I always heard stories about how being selfless was the right thing to do. I was just a kid, no real self-identity yet and just taking in ideas at face value. But now, the older I get, the more I see how hard it actually is to drop everything you think is right or wrong and just… give. Which is why the story of Kuan Yin hits differently now. Her dad made her life miserable. Never supported her and never gave her any love or peace. And still, when he got sick, she literally gave him her eyes and her arms to save him. That kind of softness is insane to me. I think about it when I get stuck with my own parents, wanting them to see things the way I see them. And it makes me realize how unbelievably light she must have been to do something like that. It just blows my mind every time I sit with it.
Shoma: One random workday, I came across a picture of Kuan Yin on my feed, and it just did something to me. I didn’t even know who she was, I was literally just scrolling, and suddenly here I am crying for hours after that. It felt like her presence landed in the room before I even knew anything about her. I googled her, trying to make sense of why I was feeling so much, and when I read that she’s the goddess of compassion, it clicked. Of course it felt like that because it was pure love and it hit me like a wave.
