What does Guanyin mean with a bead in her hand?

As the saying goes, "learn from the teacher when you are lost, and learn from yourself when you are awake." It is said that it is better to ask others than to ask yourself and practice on your own, so as to get rid of your own truth.

Once upon a time, there was a layman who went to a temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. He saw a Guanyin bodhisattva enshrined in the Buddhist temple, holding a string of beads for chanting Buddha. Generally, people who believe in Buddhism know that rosary is used for chanting and counting. But Guanyin Bodhisattva, what is he reading with beads in his hand? The layman couldn't figure it out, so he asked an old monk, "Teacher, Dad, Guanyin Bodhisattva is holding a rosary. Who is she reading? " The teacher's father replied in a sympathetic voice, "don't you know, laity?" Guanyin Bodhisattva holds beads in her hand, which means chanting Guanyin Bodhisattva. "The layman listened to the old monk's enlightenment with a grain of salt. He asked again, "Teacher, Dad, why did Guanyin say her name? "The teacher's father added:" It is better to ask yourself than to live in the soil. "After hearing this, the layman deeply understood a wise man's sentence: it is better to ask for help than to ask for help.
