This image of Avalokitesvara is called St. Guan Yin in Tangmi (a tradition of Vajrayana Buddhism that flourished since Tang dynasty). While Tientai Buddhism calls it Mercy Guan Yin, which is the literal meaning of Arya-avalo Kitesvara in Sanskrit. Avalokitesvara is the representation of all intrinsic natures.
