The legend of the Chinese Princess

The legend of an atypical Princess, parental tyranny and genetic engineering.
Mao Shan did not dream of a Prince, but of a monastery or a husband who could ease 3 misfortunes: old age, illness, death.
"Who can do this?" her father asked.
"Doctor," was the reply.

Marry the heiress to a healer?! Better to go to a monastery! There, by order of the ruler, the Princess was put to dirty work. But wild animals came to Mao Shan's aid.
Then the father decided to burn the monastery, but the virgin extinguished the fire with her hands, without getting burned.
The despot sentenced his daughter to death. But the execution did not go well: arrows, spears flew past, the sword shattered into pieces.
The executioner executed the order, strangling the girl.

Mao Shan went to hell, taking pity on her killer and taking his sins on herself. There she helped suffering sinners. Hell began to turn into Paradise: everything bloomed and there were sighs of relief. To clean up the mess, Mao was moved from hell on a Lotus flower to the island. There she lived for 9 years, healing the sick.

Then Mao Shan's father fell ill, and no medicine was found. Finally, the advice was received that the only remedy was a potion from the hands and eyes of a man who had never known anger. And on the island of puto lives just such a Saint, and a messenger has already been sent to him.

Hearing the request, Mao cut the flesh from her hands herself...
After being healed, the ruler came to give thanks and recognized the Savior's daughter, whom he considered dead.

Reconciliation with his father seemed to Mao a worthy end to the earthly path. She was preparing to ascend to the eternal wheel of rebirth. And then I heard pleas from all sides. The strain caused her head to split into 11 pieces.
The Saint wanted to reach out to each unfortunate person to help, but then her hands flew apart.
Then the Buddha came to her aid, giving her a thousand hands.

It is believed that Mao Shan is one of the earthly incarnations of Guan Yin - "The one Who Listens to the Sounds of the World». In different cultures, she is depicted differently, but almost always with a white monastic veil and a rosary around her neck, because Guan Yin tirelessly offers prayers for all of us
