Kwannon's preaching

Kwannon (Avalokiteshvara) has a lotus flower in his left hand.

It expresses the Kwannon preaching that "you were born with wonderful pure heart like a lotus flower.

So please be alive to keep this pure heart in your mind." This is able to encourage us.

Lotus flower blooms in the mud field. The mud field is compared to our worldly desires.

If you fall into the mud field, it would be very dangerous .　

This is the Kannon's preaching that "if you are not concerned much about a wordily desire, you'll be able to feel happy.

「観音さまの説法」 観音さまは左手に蓮華をもっています。これは「みなさんはこの蓮華のように素晴らしい清らかな心をもって生まれてきたのです。これを見つめて生きていきましょう」という観音さまの説法です。これは私たち人生への励ましです。 　蓮華は泥田に咲きます。泥田は煩悩の譬えです。煩悩、これに足をとらわれると命取りになります。「煩悩にとらわれないように修めていけば幸せになりますよ」という説法です。 （観音像）吉富大箴和尚画（1900～1988）
