How did two independent cultures—feudal Europe and imperial China—depict divine figures with such incredible visual similarities?
The Christian and Buddhist devout understood the Virgin Mary and Guanyin, respectively, in similar manners and archetypes of imagery, despite the fact that they did not directly influence one another until much later. Centuries of shifts in these representations illustrate how people across the world have envisioned human compassion and mortal emotions.

The Sisters of St. Felix of Cantalice, or Felician Sisters, are one branch of the Third Order of St. Francis. The active-contemplative order was founded in Warsaw, Poland, in 1843, by Sophia Truszkowska, and named for a shrine of St. Felix, a 16th century Franciscan saint especially devoted to children. The Felician Sisters have always sought to harmonize a deep spiritual and community life with dedication to diverse acts of mercy. In North America, the Felician Sisters have ministered primarily to Polish Americans since their arrival from Poland in 1874. Their Foundress, Mother Mary Angela Truszkowska, was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1993.
Most Felician Sisters maintain the religious garb of their Foundress, Blessed Mary Angela Truszkowska, consisting of a brown habit (beige during summer months), scapular, (jacket at specified times), headdress, black veil, collar, Felician wooden crucifix suspended on tape or cord, and simple ring received at final profession. This remains a discipline in the Krakow, Przemyśl and Warsaw provinces in Poland, as well as the Livonia and Enfield provinces in North America.
As of the beginning of 2005, there were just under 2,000 professed members of the Felician Sisters.

江支地《做農做工做佛》《金剛經解讀》《無量壽經解讀》；《慈悲》
2019.6.29 林義正老師來還江支地《做農‧做工‧做佛》兩個月前，他們夫婦都讀了，說很不錯。
我們年祭大點，都想不起"江宜樺" (或許是談話中接到郭台銘的催票電話。
我跟他他我所知道的郭家捐獻台大癌症園區的故事和條件、做法。
談了許多雜事，近一小時多。
最慘的是忘記跟他照相或錄影。

江支地《做農做工做佛》自印，2005
《做農做工做佛》是本很有內容的書 (作者是了不起的，做農、做工、做佛、生活等領域，都有成績，專業，感人.....)，編書或可依書名，分為3部。看了書，才知道以前讀過中村元的《慈悲》(東大)，是江先生翻譯的。我對他翻譯的三十多本佛學書，很有興趣 (作者說，日本每年出版的佛學書多，方便找)
"父親讀台北工專，上下學都用跑步，從大溪跑到台北工專......" 這是錯的，似乎只跑過幾次，看來要花5~6小時......這本書，可能只有一處打字錯誤：I型鋼打成"工型"。(64頁) 我打算數月之後，在漢清講堂談他的回憶錄與佛學。
