June Theme Day: Tranquility

This statue of Guanyin (the bodhisattva of compassion and healing) is located in the Hirschstetten Flower Gardens
The name Guanyin roughly translates as "The One who Hears the Cries of the World". The statue is a present of the government of Qingtian county of the People's Republic of China.
