Long ago, the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the Heavens, was so unhappy that China was in great turmoil that he even considered destroying its people. The Goddess of Mercy, Guan Yin, suggested another way--find Lord Buddha's scriptures in India and bring them back to China--this would help the Chinese to become peaceful and kind.
