Quan Yin's name is a translation from the Sanskrit name, Avalokitesvara which means "She who harkens to the cries of the world." She's the Compassionate Buddha. Quan Yin is a bodhisattva, an ascended master who has refused to enter the bliss of Nirvana until every blade of grass is enlightened.

In many images Quan Yin is depicted carrying the pearls of illumination, here she poses placidly with her favorite handgun. The Goddess of Mercy, appreciates the precarious balance of nature and culture as well as a finely balanced Beretta with a patented locking system making it the most elegant and responsive double action sidearm.

As the protector of women, sailors, merchants, craftsmen, and those under criminal prosecution; its nice to know that the goddess of Compassion is well armed and has your back.
