Kuan Yin (also known as the Goddess of Mercy) is depicted with many arms, hands and heads, sometimes with an eye in each palm.
The symbolism of Kuan Yin as an open palm with a beady eye nestled wisthin represents the ever watchful omnipresent mother, ready to immediately reach out in any direction to alleviate suffering. In Buddhist mythology, it states that Kuan Yin was born from Amitabha Buddha's right eye, after which he proclaimed, Om Mani Padme Hum - the jewel of the lotus - a sentiment of her preciousness to him. Some believe she is acutally an incarnation of Amitabha Buddha.
