Kannon, the goddess of mercy. There are multiple depictions of Kannon. I have chosen the image of her riding down from Mt. Fudaraku atop a dragon to great those seeking her salvation. Other images would be of Kannon riding atop a koi, sitting in a lotus and numerous others. Kannon is a Bodhisattva which means she has prolonged her own eternal enlightenment to help those who suffer in this world. Kannon presides over the Pure Land Buddhism. She is one of the attendants of Amida Buddha along with Seishi Bodhisattva. Kannon to represent compassion and Seishi, wisdom. AE0486A7-5EFF-4004-BCD2-8E726AC9C97E
