Goddess Kwan Im was then introduced to other countries such as Japan and Korea in the 7th century BC after being introduced during the Tang Dynasty. Likewise in Tibet, they know him by the name Chenrezig.

There are many versions of the name of the goddess Kwan Im. And the most famous is Guan Yin or Kwan Im. Which is the result of the translation of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva into compassionate Chinese. Like a depiction of the figure of Gautama Buddha.
