This majestic Thousand-Armed Chenrezig, also known as the Bodhisattva of Compassion, embodies the boundless resolve to alleviate the suffering of all beings. In this extraordinary iconography, he is depicted with eleven faces—each reflecting serenity or wrath—to symbolize his omnipresent awareness and ability to respond to the diverse needs of sentient beings. Two divine consorts stand beside him in service, amplifying his sacred presence. Draped over his shoulders is a deer skin, a traditional emblem of non-violence and gentleness, representing his kind and compassionate nature. At the center of his thousand hands, he performs the Anjali Mudra, a gesture of reverence and unity that embodies the inseparable harmony of wisdom and compassion. Among his many hands, one holds a mala (rosary), symbolizing the unbroken cycle of existence (saṃsāra) and continuous recitation of sacred mantras. His right hands also perform the Varada Mudra, a gesture of supreme generosity, and holds the Dharma Wheel, signifying the ever-turning teachings of the Buddha. His left hands carry sacred objects such as a fully bloomed lotus, symbolizing pure awakening, an arrow representing the piercing clarity of wisdom, and a vase containing the nectar of immortality. He is seated in serene majesty upon a lotus base atop a lion-supported throne, the lions symbolizing courage and steadfast protection of the Dharma. Behind him, a radiant halo bursts forth, so brilliant it transcends expression—an eternal emblem of his enlightened essence and all-embracing compassion.

Chenrezig, known in Sanskrit as Avalokiteshvara, is the Bodhisattva of Infinite Compassion. He is revered across Tibetan Buddhism for his unwavering commitment to the liberation of all sentient beings. Regarded as the embodiment of the Buddha’s compassion, Chenrezig responds to the suffering of the world with unceasing mercy, guiding beings toward enlightenment with patience and lovingkindness.
The Thousand-Armed Chenrezig is a powerful and expansive form of this enlightened being. According to sacred tradition, his thousand arms represent his boundless ability to offer aid in all directions. At the same time, the eyes on each palm reflect his all-seeing awareness of the world's suffering. This manifestation was born from his unshakable vow to never abandon beings in suffering—even when his body shattered from the burden of compassion, he was made whole again through the blessings of Amitabha Buddha. This form of Chenrezig thus symbolizes limitless compassion in action, the ideal of the bodhisattva fully realized.
