Chenrezig, known as Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit, is the Bodhisattva of Compassion in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. He embodies infinite compassion (karuṇā) and is believed to hear the cries of all sentient beings, working tirelessly to help them overcome suffering. Chenrezig is a central figure for practitioners seeking to cultivate loving-kindness and mercy, often depicted with multiple arms symbolizing his ability to assist countless beings simultaneously. Devotees invoke Chenrezig to develop compassion in their own hearts and to receive blessings for kindness and protection.
