1. The first stamp consists of two Chinese characters (left to right):

   > **安静 （ānjìng） quiet/silent, peaceful**

   The stamp on the left side is upside down. The right side is
   the correct way of writing the characters.
2. The engraved characters on the tablet are a Chinese antithetical couplet: two corresponding sides of antithetical lines and a middle part with a shorter phrase.

   This tablet goes (right to left, top-down)

   > **大慈予一切众生乐** （dà cí yǔ yí qiè zhòng shēng lè）**Great Mercy grants all sentient beings happiness.**

   > **观世音菩萨** （guān shì yīn pú sà）**Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion/Mercy** (Sanskrit Avalokitesvara)

   > **大悲拔一切众生苦** （dà bēi bá yí qiè zhòng shēng kǔ）**Great Compassion uproots all sentient beings sufferings.**

   The two lines of this couplet describe the key characteristics of Guanyin, the Bodhisattva, while the middle part reveals to whom this couplet pays tribute. As you can tell from the English translation, the two lines correspond one-to-one in their metrical length, the characters' properties, their meanings etc.
3. The last stamp reads from left topdown to right topdown. The one on the right side of your photo is the correct way.

   > **吉祥如意**（jí xiáng rú yì）**Good luck**

   This widely used four-word phrase consists of two two-word phrases that express good wishes.

   > **吉祥** (jí xiáng）—— **lucky/auspicious**.

   > **如意** （rú yì）—— (things will unfold) **as one wishes**.

   Hope it helps!
