What is the relationship between Guanyin Bodhisattva and Buddhism? Will a Buddhist believe in a Bodhisattva? Is there anyone who believes in nothing but bodhisattva?

Avalokitesvara is one of the great buddhas in Buddhism, but it has already become a Buddha, and it also has its own pure land of Buddhism, because it has a great wish to live in the past, and it has become a bodhisattva and a sentient being.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, also known as "fearless giver", naturally comes to ask for help when all beings encounter danger or hardship.

This Bodhisattva has the deepest marriage with the Han Dynasty in China, and China people are well-known. Since ancient times, miracles have continued, and to some extent, they have become the representative gods of China's Han Buddhism. In the Buddhist scriptures, the Buddha once said that she has the greatest affinity with all beings in the goddess' world, hehe.

Before the Tang Dynasty, Guanyin statues were mostly male;

After the Tang and Song Dynasties, most of them were women, and they gradually became China-like and feminine, in line with the traditional culture of China, and showed kindness and fraternity in her, so she was deeply admired by China people.

There are many buddhas and buddhas in Buddhism, each with its own different methods. Believing in Buddhism will lead to contact with them. Generally speaking, they will be related to one or several Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, so they will practice related dharma and read related Buddhist scriptures.

Avalokitesvara mainly holds curses, the most famous of which is the Great Compassion Curse. She practices mainly the Dalagni mantra and recites many names. There are not many Buddhist scriptures related to her, but the most popular ones are the "popular books" in Heart Sutra and Fire Eyes.

Only Buddhism has bodhisattvas, and other religions have other gods.

I don't believe in any religion, that is to say, without religious believers and atheists, it is impossible to believe in Bodhisattva.

In fact, China has been the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism since ancient times. Peace exists and blends with each other, guiding people to be good and teaching people how to be a man.

Although Buddhism is foreign, it has been localized for thousands of years and has become a part of China culture because its thoughts are quite compatible with China traditional culture.

On the contrary, in India, Buddhism has died out, which means that Buddhism chose China and then spread to neighboring countries in China.
