Lokeshwor, also known as Avalokiteshvara, is the Bodhisattva of Compassion in Mahayana Buddhism. He embodies the infinite compassion of all Buddhas and is deeply venerated across Tibetan, Chinese, and Japanese traditions. Responding to the cries of all sentient beings, he delays his own Buddhahood to help them overcome suffering. His mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, is one of the most widely recited in Buddhist practice, capturing the essence of his compassionate vow. Lokeshwor’s serene presence in various forms, including the Four Armed and Thousand Armed, offers practitioners a path to peace, mercy, and spiritual awakening.
