Chenrezig, also known as Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit, is the embodiment of boundless compassion in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. Revered as the savior of all sentient beings, he responds to their cries with unwavering mercy, guiding them toward liberation from suffering. His iconic form—featuring multiple arms and heads in some traditions—symbolizes his infinite ability to reach out and assist beings across all realms. Devotees invoke Chenrezig’s blessings to cultivate kindness and loving awareness in their lives and to receive protection from suffering.
