JM, Guanyin (avalokiteshvara), as a being in the bodhisatva realm, is beyond gender. Beings in the formless heavens don't differentiate between sexes, let alone bodhisatvas, which are higher. Whether you see Guanyin as a female, or Tibetans see it as a male, is completely something from your 'heart'. Anthony

Biologically you are correct. Yet, Chan is a spiritual practice. It does not differentiate in sex. Let me ask the forum a question. Is Guanyin Bodhisattva a man or a woman? Do some research first. You will find interesting answers. :-) Learn the Basics of Chan Meditation... http://www.chan-meditation.org Chan in everyday life... http://www.chanliving.org To be enlightened in this life... http://www.heartchan.org To save our world... http://www.universal-oneness.org On 9/5/2011 12:02 PM, ED wrote: Hi JMJM, I have always wondered: Are you are man or a woman?
