Chenrezig, known in Sanskrit as Avalokiteshvara, is revered across Buddhist traditions as the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion. He is believed to embody the compassion of all Buddhas and tirelessly works for the liberation of all sentient beings from suffering. His mantra, "Om Mani Padme Hum," is widely recited by millions, invoking his benevolent energy and wisdom. He is particularly beloved in Tibet, where he is considered the patron deity, and the Dalai Lamas are seen as his emanations.
