New Members jedihy Posted February 23, 2014 at 03:38 AM New Members Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 at 03:38 AM 南海紫竹千秋在 purple bamboo forest in the South Sea lasting forever. purple bamboo forest has a close connection with budda. 蓮臺開花九品香 蓮臺開花 Lotus start flowering. Lotus is a cushion for budda to sit with. 九品 means the Lotus is a 九品 Lotus. 九品 Lotus flowers when it has experienced a lot of disasters (we called 劫 in chinese). 香 means the lotus exhales a sweet-smelling smell.

skylee Posted February 23, 2014 at 07:19 AM Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 at 07:19 AM What is Quan Yin? Or did you mean Guanyin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonny tao Posted February 23, 2014 at 07:40 AM Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 at 07:40 AM Yes, I mean Guanyin. On internet you see a lot of different namens, Kwanyin, QuanYin, KwanJin, Quanshiyin, etc. But it is ofcourse Guanyin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneEye Posted February 23, 2014 at 07:53 AM Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 at 07:53 AM I keep wondering if lonny ever plans on contributing anything whatsoever to this forum. Even just an occasional green point to the people who help him would be a welcome change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lu Posted February 23, 2014 at 01:11 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 at 01:11 PM I keep wondering if lonny ever plans on contributing anything whatsoever to this forum. Even just an occasional green point to the people who help him would be a welcome change. While I somewhat agree, he did thank everyone for the help. He may not have much knowledge to contribute.
