i'm reading an article on guanyin that's really re-affirming some specific opinions i had developed regarding the importance thereof to the sub-narrative of jin guangyao in mdzs

nodding to myself i am onto things occasionally.

#i am going to write fanfic about it instead of meta. i think.#anyway a very short summary is it's a way to cue us in that we're not supposed to condemn him #and that whether or not we hate him personally he's utterly deserving of compassion and a compassionate person himself #changing to match a situational need (=saving someone) isn't a moral failing in guanyin-stories #(according to this text and what else i've read)#fascinating notion suggested in this text that guanyin is about the concept of permitting/emphasizing with #the desire to go beyond karmic determinism!!! to change your fate!!!#jin guangyao #mdzs
