Tibetan Bodhisattva of Protection | Great Compassionate 1000 Armed Chenrezig
The Great Compassionate 1000-Armed Chenrezig statue is a powerful depiction of the Bodhisattva of Compassion and Protection, embodying his boundless ability to assist all sentient beings. Standing at 15.4 inches in height and adorned with 24K gold gilding, gold, and acrylic paintings on a copper body, this sculpture captures the deity's iconic features. Chenrezig’s 11 heads are stacked in layers, with the topmost head symbolizing his spiritual guide, Amitabha Buddha, while the others represent his all-seeing compassion. The expression of each head reflects his compassionate nature, surveying the world to alleviate suffering in every direction.
His 1000 arms, each with an eye in the palm, are what make him most remarkable; they represent the ideal blend of compassion and intelligence. With so many hands, Chenrezig is able to assist and guide creatures in all directions, perceiving their needs and acting enlightenedly in response. His possessions, which include a lotus, prayer beads, a vajra, and a diamond that grants wishes, symbolize his profound spiritual strength and his capacity to grant the requests of all who approach him. This monument is a powerful reminder of Chenrezig's compassion and wisdom's depth and universality.
