Four-Armed Chenrezig, also known as Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit, embodies the boundless compassion of all Buddhas and is one of the most cherished deities in Tibetan Buddhism. His four arms symbolize his infinite capacity to guide, support, and liberate beings through compassion, wisdom, and enlightened action. At his heart, his two central hands are joined in Anjali mudra, holding a wish-fulfilling jewel, symbolizing unity, devotion, and his aspiration to fulfill the deepest spiritual needs of all beings. In his upper right hand, he holds a crystal mala (rosary), representing his tireless, ongoing compassionate activity and the power of mantra recitation, especially "Om Mani Padme Hum," to benefit all sentient beings. In his upper left hand, he holds a white lotus in full bloom, symbolizing spiritual purity and awakening. The lotus reflects his ability to remain unstained by worldly suffering while actively working within it to uplift others. Together, these elements convey Chenrezig’s essence as the embodiment of enlightened compassion and a powerful source of blessing and inspiration.
