As a Buddhist as well as a Witch, I find it a very comforting and hopeful sign that the two tallest statues in the world are Buddha and Kwan Yin.

Many people around the world are dedicated to the peaceful spirituality represented by these two statues, and I hope and pray that this trend toward a kinder, more peaceful planet will continue.

One powerful way to connect with this peaceful energy is through repetition of prayers or mantras.

Kwan Yin's Mantra - Namo Guan Shih Yin Pusa

Buddha Avalokitesvara's Mantra - Om Mani Padme Hum
