Caption: The Bodhisattva Samantabhadra is boundless in the size of her body, boundless in the sound of her voice, and boundless in the form of her image. She is the personification of love, sacred activity, virtue, diligence and patience.
In the Chinese Pantheon she is seen in the triad with Kuan Shih Yin (Compassion) and Wen-Shu (Wisdom) as the Three Precious Bodhisattvas whose qualities make up the Buddha's Essence.
