O soše
Eleven-Headed Guanyin, an anonymous sculpture dated 1100–1200, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Smaller heads rise above the main face of the standing figure, with the Buddha Amitabha at the top. Guanyin has a close association with Amitabha, and the eleven heads signify stages along the Buddha's route to enlightenment. This form belongs to Esoteric Buddhism. Bodhisattvas dedicate themselves to helping all beings awaken spiritually, and the compassionate Guanyin is among the most widely worshipped figures in Chinese Buddhism. On view in room 238.
Slovy muzea
The bodhisattva is an enlightened being dedicated to the spiritual awakening of all beings. The compassionate bodhisattva Guanyin, in a variety of manifestations, is probably the most popular deity of worship in Chinese Buddhism. In the Esoteric Buddhist form shown here, this standing Guanyin has a total of eleven heads, with smaller ones above the principal head. The uppermost head represents the Buddha Amitabha, to whom he is closely related. The eleven heads symbolize the Buddha’s steps on the path to enlightenment.
