The Flower of Life Legend states that Kuan Yin, who vowed to stay within the earth realm to assist humanity, realized that the number of suffering beings was massive and boundless. Despite her strenuous effort, the mission was overwhelming. Finding herself unable to fulfill the numerous demands, her head exploded into eleven pieces. Daniela Schenker states that Amitabha, the spiritual father of Avalokitesvara/Kuan Yin, swiftly comes to the aid...transforms each fragment into an entire head...twenty-two eyes with which to identify suffering and eleven brains to find the best remedy to liberate all beings! With twenty-two eyes and eleven brains, she continued her mission. However, she discovered that more was needed. In her continuous endeavor to ameliorate the suffering of humanity, Avalokitesvara/Kuan Yins two arms shattered into pieces. Once again, Amitabha Buddha aided and provided her with a thousand arms to better assist the needy. youtu.be/RS0Qi2bg12A
