CHENREZIG – THE BODHISATTVA OF COMPASSION
Chenrezig, also called Avalokiteshvara, is the embodiment of the enlightened compassion
of all the Buddhas. He is the earthly incarnation of the celestial Buddha Amitabha, and he guards our world during the interval
between the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni, and the future Buddha, Maitreya. Chenrezig is universally cherished in all branches of
Buddhism, and is considered the patron Bodhisattva of Tibet. Even in non-Buddhist countries, most people are familiar with his mantra
Om Mani Padme Hum. Chenrezig courageously vowed that so long as even one being remains caught in samsara,
he will continue to work for the benefit of living creatures. His wisdom, compassion and endurance know no bounds, and he is
especially
revered for granting realizations and spiritual attainments to those who meditate upon him.
Chenrezig is depicted here in his four-armed form like shown in this Framed Chenrezig Avalokiteshvara Statue,
which symbolizes his whirlwind of constant activity in the world. Two of his hands are pressed together at
his heart where they hold the wish-fulfilling jewel of enlightenment, the Cintamani. This jewel manifests whatever a faithful
seeker may pray for, and is also a metaphor for the profound teachings and virtues of the Buddha. Chenrezig’s clasped hand position
further expresses his gratitude and respect for Buddha Amitabha.
