2-The hungry ghosts ( greed, emptiness, wanting more, never satisfied, superficial, out for self)
3-The animal ( base needs, bad judgement, impulsive, stuck in the body with and sex,thirst, food, sleep , and heat).

It is the wisdom that transmutes the poisons of desire and attachment. Nyori brings clarity.

Kannon is the personification of the Divine Compassion with having limitless skill. Kannon made the vote to hear the voices of the people and the sounds of the state of the world, to guarantee salvation of all those that suffer and to waste the evils and calamities that encircle them before entering Nirvana.
For such Kannon can acquire diverse forms ( male/female), appear in different places and times freely without any restriction of time or space to save ( balance or cure) people and by this reason is known as the bodhisattva –That It Understands Without Restrictions ( of past, present, or future).
Kannon Bobatsu is linked to the energy of the Sun
