Who is Chenrezig?

Chenrezig, known as Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit, is the revered Bodhisattva of Compassion in Mahayana and Tibetan Buddhism, symbolizing the infinite mercy and loving-kindness of all enlightened beings. Deeply venerated across the Himalayan region, Chenrezig is believed to hear the cries of suffering beings and respond with unconditional compassion. He is often depicted with four arms, holding a lotus flower, a wish-fulfilling jewel, and a rosary, each representing purity, boundless love, and continuous prayer. In Tibetan tradition, the Dalai Lama is considered an incarnation of Chenrezig, reinforcing his central role in spiritual guidance and protection. 

Forms of Chenrezig

Chenrezig’s depiction is filled with rich symbolism, reflecting his immense compassion and wisdom. Various forms of Chenrezig are depicted across different traditions, but certain aspects remain constant:

• Four-Armed Chenrezig: In this form, Chenrezig typically has four arms, with two hands in the prayer position (holding a lotus or performing a mudra of compassion) and the other two holding symbolic objects like a mala (rosary) and a jewel or lotus. His peaceful face exudes love, serenity, and compassion.
  
• Two-Armed Chenrezig: Two-Armed Chenrezig, also known as Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit, is a serene and deeply compassionate form of the Bodhisattva of Compassion, revered throughout Tibetan Buddhism. In this form, Chenrezig is depicted seated in peaceful meditation, holding a crystal rosary in his right hand and a lotus flower or a wish-fulfilling jewel in his left.
• Thousand-Armed Chenrezig: In some depictions, particularly in Vajrayana Buddhism, Chenrezig is shown with one thousand arms, each holding a different instrument representing his capacity to assist in countless ways. Every hand bears an eye in its palm, symbolizing his vigilance and ability to observe the suffering of the world, never turning away from it.
