A reference to the concept of Yana (vehicles) in Mahayana Buddhism, which expresses the three paths to liberation that culminate as one of the three types of Buddha: - Sravakayana: the path of arhat who achieves liberation after listening to the teachings of a fully enlightened buddha. (Hearken) - Pratyekabuddhayana: the path of pratyekabuddha who achieves liberation on their own without teaching from others, but also does not teach others. (Waken) - Bodhisattvayana: the path of bodhisattva who attains liberation and wishes to lead as many beings to enlightenment as possible. (Enliven) The path of Abundance is likened to Bodhisattvayana, as Yaoshi's benevolent nature led them to grant blessing upon anyone who seeks immortality. Yaoshi’s design also bears striking resemblance to Guanyin, specifically the female incarnation called Thousand-Armed Thousand-Eyed Goddess of Mercy. - Credit: Necrosyrtes
