Phillips","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe bodhisattva Kuan Yin remains one of the most popular figures in Buddhism, loved and worshiped throughout Asia for over a millennium. She arrived in Hawaii with the first Chinese plantation workers, each of whom would have kept a rice paper print of her over a small altar in his room. In this delightful book, Kathy Phillips and Joseph Singer celebrate Kuan Yin’s many incarnations in words and images that exhibit humor, poignancy, and the open-endedness of a koan. An introduction examines Kuan Yin and her place in religion, legend, art, changing social prescriptions for gender, and the everyday lives of Hawaii’s people.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUH Press, 2004\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback, 168 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"UH Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33901513605252,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0378\/1161\/7924\/files\/9780824827571.jpg?v=1784850772","url":"https:\/\/basically-books-co.myshopify.com\/products\/this-isnt-pict-im-hold","provider":"Basically Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
