1 The Egret A publication of The Maridon Museum Winter N. McKean St., Butler, PA The Collectors Our new series started with an interesting and provocative presentation of, Digital Transformations-Beyond Photography by Dr. Dennis Keyes; then we moved into the wonderful world of dolls with Ellen G. King of King s Antiques presenting Hello Dolly and finished the Fall series with a walk on the wild side with Gentle Giants-Elephants, lovingly explored by Cyndy Sweeney. With the new year we ushered in our last three in this series: The Eclectic Collector, an array of surprises presented by Carole Fruestorfer. Carole proves that anything that snags your interest or your heart belongs in a collection. Next, we traveled back in time to visit Tammy Gallagher who s show and tell, Once Upon a Time, explored a brilliant collection of Victorian jewelry. Finishing out the series with a roar...perhaps a mew, we were entertained by Zelda Wilbert and her feline friends as she presented, The Cat s Meow (Cats). Interesting, educational and fun...a good combination to merit more of the same. Look for our new list of presenters for If you would like to share your collection, please give us a call.

3 Year of the Monkey 2016 (on the Chinese calendar) is the year of the Monkey, starting from February 8 (Chinese New Year), and ending on January 27, 2017 (Chinese New Year s Eve). Monkey is the ninth sign in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac. The Years of the Monkey include 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, People born in the year of the Monkey are witty, intelligent, and have a magnetic personality. Personality traits, like mischievousness, curiosity and cleverness, make them very naughty. Monkeys are masters of practical jokes because they like playing most of the time. Though they don t have any bad intentions, their pranks sometimes hurt the feelings of others. Monkeys are fast learners and crafty opportunists. They have many interests and need partners who are capable of stimulating their curiosity. While some like the eccentric nature of monkeys, some don t trust their sly, restless and inquisitive nature. Although they are clever and creative, monkeys can t always exhibit their talent properly. Monkeys like to take challenges and they prefer urban life to rural.

5 The Bodhisattva of Compassion (Embodiment of Selfless Love devoting countless lifetimes cultivating enlightenment and compassion for the sake of others - to guide them toward the path away from suffering) Bodhi (spiritual awakening, enlightenment) sattva (being, essence, spirit) Bodhisaatva: Also known as Kuan Yin, Guan Yin, Quan Shi Yin, Kwan Yin, Kuan Im, Chao Mae Kuan, Phra Mae Kuan Im and Avalokitesvara (Sanskrit). English versions are: Goddess of Compassion, Goddess of Mercy and Bodhisattva of Compassion. Many names and many images, with a common thread running through all... Compassion. Quan: to look deeply into or inquire into Shi: the people of the world Yin: cries A bodhisattva may embody any form, female, male or animal for the salvation of those in need. The female Goddesss Kuan Yin is referenced in the Lotus Sutra of 406 C.E. Kwan Yin was conceptualized as male into the tenth century. The image of a celestial bodhisattva with white flowing robes was popular in the eighth century. She is the patron of women and many who desire children turn to her. She is also the patron of sailors, craftsmen, and merchants. People turn to her for practical assistance in their daily lives. Come to The Maridon and see how she is reperesented in our Front Gallery as a 4-foot ivory standing sculpture; in the Side Gallery you will find a satin - stitched embroidery wall hanging; two Bodhisaatvas grace the Rear Gallery Time Line in the form of a seated bronze on a Lotus Base and an ivory carving holding a child. Two white (blanc de shin) porcelain Guan Yins may be found in the Transition Exhibit. These figurines have the vessel or vase that symbolizes the nectar of compassion; book/ scrolls of prayers representing teaching and children. The Guan Yin is often shown with children in her arms or at her feet.
