Anthony,
All of a sudden you become so serious. Now you took the fun out of my
question. Sigh...
Actually there are other stories are the sex of Guanyin.

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'.

Ah, ED. 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. :-)

Hi JMJM,
I have always wondered: Are you are man or a woman?
Is it the case that women usually come from their
hearts/feelings, and
men from their heads or their penises?
