The Temple of Mercy and Compassion, presided over by Beloved Kwan Yin, stands in the center of twelve lesser Temples, all of whose domes incline slightly toward the main Temple, in reverent honor and respect to the Focus of the Mercy Flame. Here, the Beloved Brothers and Sisters of Mercy and Compassion, serve in silence, moving from Temple to Temple upon their appointed Services to their Holy Queen and to the Mercy Flame itself.

The Services of Kwan Yin 

The Beloved Kwan Yin, who offered herself to guard, protect and expand this Flame of Mercy, Forgiveness and Compassion, is often seen among her Spiritual Court, a most exquisite Lady of Heaven, dedicated and consecrated to the removal, through the consciously directed Light Rays from this Focus, of the inner causes and cores of all manner of temporary distress which presently form a weight upon the humankind of Earth, as well as the Elemental Kingdom and the imprisoned Angels, who have taken embodiment for the redemption of the human race and have become enmeshed themselves in the very effluvia which they vowed to dissolve by their Light. 

In Ages long past, the Temple of Mercy and Compassion also acted as an asylum for children whose parents were unable to give them the proper training and instruction. Thus, the Brothers and Sisters of the Temple of Mercy have often raised these children to maturity and they, in turn, after attaining their majority, went forth from this Focus and became the great Leaders of China and all Asia, spiritually as well as in secular matters. This is why, so often, the statues of Kwan Yin depict her holding a small child. 

From time to time, Beloved Kwan Yin and her Court made pilgrimages to the furthermost borders of her Kingdom, so that the less privileged individuals, who could not make a visit to the Temple itself, might have their children baptized, their own sins of omission and commission wiped away by Mercy's Flame, and their homes re-consecrated by an actual, physical spark of the Mercy Flame, taken reverently from the Golden Brazier which a chosen Member of Kwan Yin's Court carried from the Temple of Mercy and Compassion, keeping the Flame alive by his or her own Breath. 

Remember, beloved ones, that the causes and cores of all distress (in the astral realm) are constantly moving masses of mis-qualified energy which can and do focus their vicious expressions through vulnerable human beings. Kwan Yin's Service is to remove these palpable masses of mis-qualified energy by personally directing the Full Power of the Flame of Mercy, Love and Compassion into them. 

The Brothers and Sisters of Kwan Yin's Temple are well qualified to assist the chelas to safely invoke the Flame of Mercy from Kwan Yin's Loving Heart into the condition of distress, while they are protected by her own Luminous Presence in endeavoring to give this assistance.
