觀音是其中之一。她是四位偉大菩薩之一，也被稱為觀世音菩薩，在日本被稱為觀音菩薩。她是大慈大悲的化身，受到佛教高度尊崇，願意幫助所有向她祈禱或調和她的療癒能量的人。她的療癒能量不斷地從她身上散發出來。儘管她曾被描繪為男性，但在近期，尤其是由道教和密宗的來源，她被視為女性的形象。在這種形式中，她代表了女神或神明的女性面向。她被描繪為站在蓮花上，漂浮在天空中，她的純潔不受世界的無知和困惑的污染，同時她伸出援手幫助他人。她充滿最偉大的美麗和優雅，她的真實存在是所有眾生都是一體的，並且都值得自由。因此，她毫無保留地隨時準備為與她接觸的任何人傳遞和平、喜悅、愛和一切神聖的美好事物。

許多接受觀音靈氣（Karuna Reiki®）的人在靈氣調和、接受治療或冥想時曾看到觀音和其他觀世音菩薩的顯現。這些經歷既具啟發性又具有療癒作用。由於這種情況經常發生且療癒能量非常強大，許多人認為觀音和其他菩薩賦予了觀音靈氣（Karuna Reiki®）。

我們生活在一個美好的時代，古老的智慧與現代方法結合，將靈性實踐傳播到世界各地。現在有數百萬人練習靈氣，數量還在不斷增加。這對我們的靈性生活產生了強大的影響，並有助於治癒地球。隨著步伐加快，世界和平變得可能。讓我們利用現在賦予我們的療癒力量來治愈自己並幫助他人。祝願您永遠走在和平中。

原文: Kuan Yin is one such being. She is one of four great Bodhisattvas or enlightened beings that watch over the earth. She is also called Avalokiteshvara and in Japan she is called Kannon. The embodiment of Mahakaruna, or great compassion, she is highly venerated in Buddhism and is ready to help all those who pray to her or attune to her healing energies, which continually emanate from her. While she has been depicted as male, in more recent times and especially by Taoist and Tantric sources she has been seen as female. In this form she represents the Goddess or female aspect of the deity. Portrayed as standing on a lotus blossom and floating in the sky, her purity remains unstained by the ignorance and confusion of the world, even as she reaches out to help. Filled with the greatest beauty and grace, her reality is that all beings are one and deserve to be free. Because of this she is ready without reservation to extend peace, joy, love and every divinely good thing to anyone who contacts to her.

Many who have taken Karuna Reiki® have had visions of Kuan Yin and other enlightened beings. This has occurred during the attunements, or while giving or receiving treatments or while meditating. These experiences can be inspirational as well as healing. Because this happens frequently and the healing energies are so strong, many feel that Karuna Reiki® comes from Kuan Yin and the other Bodhisattvas. 

We live in a wonderful time when ancient wisdom is combining with modern methods to spread spiritual practices all over the world. Millions of people practice Reiki now and the numbers continue to grow. This is having a powerful effect on our spiritual lives and helping to heal the planet. As the pace quickens, world peace becomes possible. Let us use the healing power that comes to us now to heal ourselves and help others. May you always walk in peace.
