Avalokiteshvara (Guanyin Bodhisattva) – The Embodiment of Great Compassion
Avalokiteshvara, known as Guanyin in East Asia, is revered as the Bodhisattva who hears the cries of the world.

-
Guanyin responds swiftly to the suffering of sentient beings
-
The sincere recitation of “Namo Great Compassionate Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva” is believed to bring protection, relief, and guidance

The Golden Lotus – Purity and Liberation
The lotus flower holds a central place in Buddhist symbolism:
-
“Rising unstained from muddy waters”, it represents purity amid worldly complexity
-
Its full bloom signifies complete wisdom and perfected merit
-
In Pure Land Buddhism, the lotus symbolizes rebirth in the Western Pure Land, where beings are born through lotus transformation according to their karmic purity
The golden lotus on the reverse side reflects the intrinsic purity of the awakened mind and the gradual purification of afflictions such as greed, anger, and ignorance.

Compassion in action, purity in heart.
It represents:
