His upper right hand holds a mala, representing the continuous recitation of the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum, while his upper left hand holds an utpala lotus, symbolizing purity and the unfolding of compassion.

Chenrezig, also known as Avalokiteshvara, is the earthly manifestation of the self-born eternal Buddha Amitabha and is considered the patron deity of Tibet. He is the personification of the compassion of all Buddhas, having famously vowed not to enter Nirvana until he has assisted every sentient being in attaining liberation. His practice is central to many lineages of Vajrayana Buddhism, emphasizing the transformative power of the Mani mantra and the development of a kind heart.
