In his long career as a poet, Buddhist teacher, spiritual
advisor, and writer, Stephen Levine has changed our understanding
of death and dying. In "Becoming Kuan Yin," Levine's first new book
in many years, he turns to the legend of Kuan Yin, the Bodhistitva
venerated by East Asian Buddhists for her compassion.
In "Becoming Kuan Yin," Levine shares the tale of Miao Shan,
born centuries ago to a cruel king who wanted her to marry a
wealthy but uncaring man. This is the story of how Miao Shan
refused to follow the path her father had in mind and, instead,
became Kuan Yin, the first acknowledged female Buddha who watches
over the dying and those who work with them.
Levine weaves together story and practice and helps readers
discover their own infinite capacity for mercy and compassion under
difficult circumstances. This book will have resonance for Kuan
Yin's millions of followers.
