Chenrezig, also known as Avalokiteshvara, holds a special place in Mahayana Buddhism as a symbol of boundless compassion. Often shown with many arms, each one reflects a different aspect of his loving kindness and his eagerness to assist those in need. His famous mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, is among the most chanted in Buddhist practice, capturing the heart of the Bodhisattva’s vow to support all living beings on their path.
