Thanks, Rob, for sharing your photos and story! It was just like being there. Hold on to this card; it's your lucky card (see below).

I will. :-)
That's Buddhist's Avalokitesvara (Guan{shi}yin in Chinese, Kan{ze}non in Japanese) Boddhisattva. The Observer of the Sights and Sounds of the World, or The Goddess of Mercy.
The top line is a chant invoking Guanyin. "Na2mo Guan1shi4yin1-Pu2sa4": I call upon/take refuge in Avalokitesvara Boddhisattva.
The bottom line says "hu4shen1fu2": charm to protect against demons/black magic.

Oops, sorry. That should have been *B*ob, not Rob.
And since I'm correcting, that should be "BuddisM's."

Yeah, what's on the other side? And could you scan both sides larger?
