In Buddhist concept, the title Quan The Am has a special meaning. Quan is observation; The is the world, life; Am is sound, the cry for help, the request of sentient beings. Accordingly, Quan The Am Bodhisattva is the Bodhisattva who always observes, listens to the cry for help of sentient beings in the world to save them. Therefore, the spirit of compassion, saving the suffering, saving the victims is always considered the typical vow of Bodhisattva Quan The Am. A familiar image of Quan The Am is the Bodhisattva holding a vase of nectar in his left hand, symbolizing compassion, and holding a willow branch in his right hand, symbolizing his patience. For many people in the South, the statue of Buddha Tay Bo Da Son at Ba Den Mountain is a symbol of Quan The Am Bodhisattva appearing on the sacred mountain top. Therefore, the occasion of Quan The Am's birthday always attracts a large number of Buddhists and people to Ba Den Mountain to remember and honor his merits.
