Jade Vase of Sweet Dew

Guanyin’s Willow Vase

Guanyin’s vase of sweet dew whose willow sprig revives withered trees and the dead.

The jade vase of sweet dew is the vessel Guanyin carries, holding the water of compassion that revives what is dead. With a willow sprig dipped in its dew she restored the ginseng tree that Wukong had toppled; in folk devotion the same vase holds the healing water that answers prayers. It is the one treasure that exists to give life back.
