Known as the Goddess of Mercy, Gentle Protectoress, Bodhisattva of Compassion, even the savior of seamen and fishermen, she holds many titles. The spelling of her name varies, but it is not so much the arrangement of letters as it is the effect that her spoken name produces on those with a Buddhist background, similar to a reaction in the West when one is speaking of the Virgin Mary. In both cases, it invokes the feeling of compassion and unconditional love. Indeed, her force is compared to Mother Mary in the West, Green Tara in the Tibetan culture, the Virgin of Guadeloupe in Mexico, and many other ancient goddesses, the matriarchy of old. You might call her the Buddhist Madonna, or She calls Herself, "The Mother of all Buddhas". By her own words, she is a complex energy presence. Thus, when asked her about her incarnations as "Kwan Yin," this involves many persons that have embodied and reflected this energy in their lives on earth, as far as we can understand. According to Sucheta's channelings, the closest association of Kwan Yin being linked to a person energetically in recent times is Miao Shan, an ancient Chinese princess who was known for her great compassion. In Jewish folklore the Chamsa is known as the Hand of Miriam or Hamesh Hand. The word Chamesh literaly means Five and is also the reason why the Chamsa sometimes shows in that format. The Chamsa is believed to have served as an ancient talismanic way of averting the Evil Eye, or more generally of providing a "protecting hand" or "Hand of God" known to draw positive energy, happiness, riches and health. It appears, often in a stylized form, as a hand with three fingers raised, and sometimes with two thumbs arranged symmetrically. The symbol is used in Hamsa amulets, Hamsa charms, Hamsa jewelry, Hamsa pendants door entrances, cars, and other places to ward off the Evil Eye. The Chamsa's (from the semite root meaning five) includes five digits and symbolizes the god's protective hand. Five is by itself a number which is associated with protection. In the Sephardic household the symbol of a fish is also used to repel the eye and originates from the Talmud. According to some of the writing it is believed that fish are immune from the evil eye because they are under water making them effective amulets. **This Two Strand Necklace is all Carved Bovine Bone. The beads are Bone and the Pendant is Carved Bone. The carved beads are Meditation Beads carved from cow bone. Devout Buddhists use these when they go to the Holy places to Meditate. The Pendant is a Carved Hamsa (hand of god) and in the palm of the hand is Kwan Yin. (Goddess of Mercy). I used a sterling silver two strand chain, and strung the beads on the chain. The shorter of the two srands is about 16" in length and tyhe longer one is about 19" in length. I also used a sterling silver extender. #390 ****************************************************************************************************** I am not a Gemologist or a Lapidary.

Encyclopedia Britannica Women Who Changed the World - REFERENCES FOR KIDSLearn about the women who changed the world from athletes and artists, to politicians, scientists,leaders and heroines on educational CD-ROM. Product Information For millennia women have left their mark on the world at times changing the course of history and at other times influencing small but significant spheres of life. Only in the past century however have concerted efforts been made to mention women's contributions in history books. Moreover changes in status for many women in modern times - the right to own property to vote and to choose their own careers - may obscure the accomplishments made by women of earlier eras. In profiling 300 women who changed the world Encyclopedia Britannica has chosen those whose contributions have endured through the ages. Some though they lived centuries ago are still alive in popular culture; music and poetry by the Roman Catholic abbess Hildegard can be heard in contemporary recordings and Murasaki Shiibu's The Tale of Genji is one of the greatest works of Japanese literature. Many women overcame the oppression of their surroundings through determination and ingenuity: Harriet Tubman escaped slavery and risked her life helping others to freedom. Other women grew up in privileged surroundings; the philosopher and mathematician Hypatia and the historian Ban Zhao were born to families that permitted the education of girls in an era when females were rarely even taught to read. Not all of these women changed the world for the good. Filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl produced propaganda films that glorified Adolf Hitler's brutal Third Reich. Many suffered through the deeds of Jiang Qing who fought bitterly to advance her own political powers during China's Cultural Revolution. Some were warriors such as Boudicca who led a bloody rebellion against the Romans. Others advocated peace: Bertha barones von Suttner influenced the creation of the Nobel Peace Prize that would eventually be won by many women including Wangari Maathai and Mother Teresa. Like Mother Teresa many were driven by religious conviction. Khadijah's Khadijah's belief in her husband Muhammad's revelations helped lay the foundation of Islam. Joan of Arc's divine inspiration led the French in a decisive victory against the English. Her feats were celebrated by the poet Christine de Pisan who also penned some of the earliest commentaries on women's roles in society.

TJ JEFFERSON was a producer for MTV'siYo Momma/iandiPunk'd/i.The book was callediEverything Men Understand About Women.br/ibrUpon opening it, the reader found 100 blank pages. Get it?brbrVery funny. But it gave TJ Jefferson an idea. If men know nothing about the fairer sex, then why not go straight to the source? After all, if your toilet is backed up, you don't call your dentist, you call a plumber. So he asked strangers (and even some celebrities, such as Madonna, Shakira, Demi Moore, and Cameron Diaz) to fill the blank pages of his book.brbrIniThat's What She Said,/iJefferson shares 100-plus tips he's gathered from women of all ages and backgrounds in a collection of entries in their own words that are offbeat, funny, sometimes mean, often poignantbut always honest. For men, it'sinot/ia book on how to get a woman to go home with you but on how to keep her attention once you have it. And for women, think of it as an entertaining look at what other ladies are going through. You may find vindication (amen, sister) or put it down, relieved that you aren' t as crazy as her or that your man isn't a complete cad.brbrOrganized by topics, including love, sex, beauty, lying, and listening, this is the ultimate look into the mind of today's modern woman.
