Thousand-Armed Chenrezig, the embodiment of infinite compassion, is portrayed in this magnificent statue with eleven expressive faces arranged in tiers.

The topmost face is serene and wrathful, reflecting the power and determination needed to overcome obstacles to compassion. His central pair of hands, held in añjali mudrā (gesture of reverence), cradle a wish-fulfilling jewel (cintāmaṇi), representing his compassionate heart and his boundless intention to grant the deepest desires of all sentient beings—freedom from suffering and the attainment of enlightenment. Surrounding him are a thousand arms, each representing his immeasurable ability to extend help in all directions and dimensions. In the palms of many of these hands is an all-seeing eye, symbolizing the union of wisdom (prajñā) and compassion (karuṇā)—the essence of enlightened activity. Among his numerous hands, Chenrezig holds a variety of sacred ritual objects, each rich with symbolic meaning. The bow and arrow signify skillful means and focused intention, aimed at liberating beings from ignorance. The blue utpala flower blooms as a symbol of purity and the blossoming of wisdom, untouched by the stains of samsara. The kalasha (sacred vase) is a traditional symbol of long life, spiritual wealth, and the nectar of immortality. One of his right hands is extended in the varada mudrā, the gesture of supreme giving, which reflects his vow to respond to all beings’ calls for help without hesitation. This gesture, combined with the multiple arms and faces, reinforces his unshakable bodhisattva vow to remain in samsara until every being is freed from suffering. This elaborate representation of Thousand-Armed Chenrezig is not just a visual marvel but also a profound spiritual symbol—each detail embodying deep Buddhist principles and serving as a support for meditation, devotion, and compassionate practice.

Chenrezig, also known as Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit, is the Bodhisattva of Compassion—one of the most revered figures in Mahayana Buddhism. He embodies the infinite compassion (karuṇā) of all Buddhas and is venerated for his unwavering commitment to aid all sentient beings in overcoming suffering and attaining enlightenment. Chenrezig is believed to hear the cries of the world and respond with loving-kindness, offering protection, guidance, and blessings. In Tibetan Buddhism, Chenrezig holds a central place in devotional practices and is often invoked through prayers, such as the “Om Mani Padme Hum” mantra, which encapsulates the essence of compassion and wisdom. He is also considered the spiritual patron of Tibet, and the Dalai Lama is believed to be his human incarnation.
