" Psalm of the Sutra of the World " records that in the past kalpa, Amitabha Buddha was the King of the Wheel 2, and his eldest son was named after him, and the treasure Buddha gave him a prophecy to the King of the Wheel 2. When you become a monk, you make a vow in front of the treasure Buddha. If any sentient beings remember them and recite their name when they suffer, they will be exempted from suffering and troubles, otherwise they will not be able to attain enlightenment. Treasure Buddha is also a prophecy for him, named Guanyin .

In the early days of Guanyin's entry into China, he became a male Bodhisattva, such as the murals of Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Gansu and the wooden carvings of Southern and Northern Dynasties. He had two beards on his lips. After the Tang Dynasty, Guanyin began to become a female Bodhisattva, and avoided Li Shimin and was called Guanyin Bodhisattva . There are many legends about the Chineseization of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and it is widely circulated that Guanyin is the third princess Miaoshan of King Miaozhuang of Xinglin Kingdom of the Western Regions. Princess Miaoshan resolutely gave her hands and eyes to save her father, and moved Sakyamuni. She gave her Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes, becoming the Bodhisattva of Guanyin Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is the left servant of Amitabha Buddha, one of the three saints in the West. Guanyin Bodhisattva often saves sentient beings in the Saha world and serves as the left hand of Sakyamuni Buddha, one of the three Saha holy . Guanyin Bodhisattva is one of the four great bodhisattvas in Chinese Buddhism .
