Commonly known to the Chinese as Kuan Yin as the Goddess of Mercy (or Kwan Yin, Quan Yin, Guan Yin), she is the most popular of the deity on Chinese altars, trusted and loved by all Chinese people. Her name is short for Kuan Shi Yin. Kuan means to observe, watch, or monitor; Shi means the world; Yin means sounds, specifically sounds of those who suffer. Thus, Kuan Yin is a compassionate being who watches for, and responds to, the people in the world who cry out for help. Many Buddhist scriptures state that one can invoke Kuan Yin's assistance by simply calling out her name; people feel that this bodhisattva is very approachable. "One Who Hears the Cries of the World", she hears those who call upon her and helps them even to lead them to the peace and happiness of the Western Heaven. Kuan Yin is a savior with boundless compassion, a comforter of the sick, lost, senile, frightened and unfortunate.
In ancient times, the Hulu or Wu Lou (also known as Calabash or Chinese Gourd) is used to store water or potions used during traveling and expeditions. Because of the Hulu’s role in keeping the travelers alive, it was given the name the “giver of life” and through time became a symbol of good health. By the same token, the Hulu is believed to contain the elixir of health, vitality and immortality. In Chinese mythology, the Hulu is often used by Taoist monks and deities to suck and bottle up evil spirits into it, preventing them from doing harm. Hence the Hulu can be used as a powerful Feng Shui cure to absorb negative chi especially those brought by bad stars such as #2 and #5. Hulu is thus a powerful traditional symbol of longevity, good health, prosperity and an abundance of blessings. The shape of a Hulu/Wu Lou is believed to be a representation of Heaven and Earth united in miniature.
The Hulu with Kuan Yin Image and Mantra Hanging Tassel is a handy amulet which can be attached to any item anywhere you like - your car, bag, luggage, suitcase, makeup case, wallet, purse, or simply tucked among your knick-knacks.

Carry it with you at all times for peace of mind and prepare to welcome greater prosperity, improved health and better luck into your life!
