About Thousand-Armed Avalokiteshvara

Avalokiteshvara, also known as Chenrezig, is the Bodhisattva of Compassion and one of the most beloved deities in Buddhism. His Thousand-Armed form represents his limitless ability to hear the suffering of beings and respond with compassion and wisdom.

Eleven heads to hear the cries of suffering
One thousand arms to help all beings
Eyes in each palm to unite wisdom and compassionate action
