Chenrezig, known in Sanskrit as Avalokiteshvara, is the Bodhisattva of Compassion, revered across all schools of Buddhism, especially in Tibet. He embodies the boundless compassion of all Buddhas and is said to manifest in various forms to aid sentient beings. Tibetan Buddhists believe the Dalai Lamas are earthly manifestations of Chenrezig. His practice is central to developing altruistic love and compassion for all beings, guiding followers toward enlightenment through unconditional care for others.
