Neko No Satori

In the Japanese Buddhist pantheon, Kannon Bosatsu symbolizes compassion.

She is the one who listens to all suffering.

The one who sees and hears everything.

“Compassion” is understood as sharing in someone’s suffering, a kind of empathy.

Manekistefy imagines Kannon Bosatsu living in her own world alongside several cats.

A cat is an animal that absorbs the suffering of its favorite human, causing it to resurface in the form of symptoms.

For this reason, the cat’s “Satori”—that is, the cat’s enlightenment—is depicted alongside Kannon Bosatsu.

Like all animals, cats have a pure spirit.
