Quan Yin is revered as the Goddess of Mercy because she turned away from the bliss of is eternal paradise and chose to stay in the midst of the suffering human world. She is the comforter of the troubled, healer of the sick, guide of the lost, a very benevolent deity worthy of praise and reverence.
