The image of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara is posed in the form of a woman. According to Buddhist philosophy, Buddha and Bodhisattva are neither male nor female. But when introduced to Vietnam, as well as some other countries, Budhisattva Avalokitesvara turned into a women and was likened to a gentle mother. And no matter how the outer appearance of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara is sculpted, they all exude a majesty and loving beauty.
