Chenrezig, known as Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit, is the Bodhisattva of Compassion in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism.

Often depicted with multiple arms symbolizing his ability to help countless beings simultaneously, he embodies the compassionate activity of all Buddhas. Devotees invoke Chenrezig to cultivate compassion in their hearts, seeking his blessings for kindness, mercy, and the alleviation of suffering in the world.
