The mystic of the relationship of bodhisattva Kuan Yin with the populations of the Far East and Brazil

Abstract

This is an article on religious anthropology, which studies the myth and rite of Kuan Yin, the bodhisattva of compassion who, since his emergence in the sutras of Mahayana Buddhism, was welcomed by the populations of the Far East and the world, as one of the maximum expressions of it. The myth will be studied historically, and through interviews with devotees of the bodhisattva and the rite, through participant observation.
