The Japanese Avalokiteshvara has multiple forms and names. Kanzeon, like Guanshiyin, observes (J: kan) the world (J: ze) for the sound (J: on) of suffering. The Japanese commonly shorten Avalokiteshvara’s name to Kannon. Kannon is a Bodhisattva, which means she has prolonged her own eternal enlightenment to stay behind and help everyone who suffers in this world.
