Kuan Shih Yin means one who hears the cries of the world - the living expression of loving compassion; the one who will come to y our aid' the one who offers a caring aspect to the otherwise somewhat remote world with its scales of merit and demerit, its hells and rebirths, its retributions and consequences in life and beyond. He will break the cycle of rebirth, of punishment and of retribution.

The modern image of the leprechaun is almost invariant: he is depicted wearing an emerald green frock coat, and bestowed with the knowledge of the location of buried treasure, often in a crock of gold.
Leprechauns rarely appear in what would be classed as a folk tale; in almost all cases the interest of these stories centres round a human hero. Stories about leprechauns are generally very brief and generally have local names and scenery attached to them. The tales are usually told conversationally as any other occurrence might be told, whereas there is a certain solemnity about the repetition of a folk-tale proper.

In most tales and stories leprechauns are depicted as generally harmless creatures who enjoy solitude and live in remote locations, although opinion is divided as to if they ever enjoy the company of other spirits. Although rarely seen in social situations, leprechauns are supposedly very well spoken and, if ever spoken to, could make good conversation.

A leprechaun is shown crafting shoes in this Engraving made in 1858. In previous years leprechauns had a less homogenised appearance.

A leprechaun counts his gold,
in this engraving circa 1900.


The leprechaun recovered from Irish tradition lacks the high spirits and insouciance of his literary and commercial simulacra. Instead, he (there are no females) is often dour, even saturnine. Ugly and stunted with a face like a dried apple, the leprechaun may be querulous, sottish, and foul-mouthed. In his single best-known story, known in many variations, the leprechaun while busy shoemaking is seized by an ordinary mortal, demanding to known where the crock of gold is kept. If the mortal can keep his eyes on the leprechaun without being distracted, the gold will be his. The wily leprechaun, however, can always distract the mortal, often by appealing to his cupidity or gullibility so that the loser blames himself. According to legend, if anyone keeps an eye fixed upon one, he cannot escape, but the moment the eye is withdrawn, he vanishes.
