Chenrezig, also known as Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit, is the Bodhisattva of Infinite Compassion, revered across Tibetan Buddhism as the embodiment of the compassionate nature of all Buddhas. He is believed to hear the cries of all beings and to respond with boundless mercy, striving to help them overcome suffering and attain enlightenment. Regarded as the spiritual progenitor of the Dalai Lama, Chenrezig is invoked in prayers and meditation to cultivate lovingkindness and compassion within the heart. His thousand arms symbolize his ability to aid all beings equally, while his calm and composed demeanor encourages peace and mindfulness. As a central figure in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism, Chenrezig inspires practitioners to embody compassion in all aspects of their lives.
