| The Goddess by Marla L. Niederer |
I am teaching the Goddess online starting next week and thought I would share a little about her back story with you.
I created the Goddess during a time when I felt the world needed more compassion and healing.

The Goddess represents Kuan Yin. For those unfamiliar with Kuan Yin, she is known by many as the Goddess of Compassion, the one who hears the cries of all beings.
She is also known in Buddhism as a Bodhisattva, one who puts off Nirvana in order to liberate all sentient beings. It is a complete act of selflessness and compassion.
The Goddess by Marla L. Niederer
Many representations of Kuan Yin depict her as a beautiful Asian woman in flowing gowns carrying a vessel filled with the waters of compassion. She is often depicted standing or seated upon a lotus blossom.
In this
interpretation of Kuan Yin, I chose to place a hand crafted and hand painted
lotus blossom upon her head as a headdress.
She wears a skirt and shawl of hand painted cheesecloth which represent
the waters of compassion. Her costume is
hand beaded with silver lined glass beads.
