The Deity: Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig)
Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara is the most widely revered bodhisattva in Tibetan Buddhism and is regarded as the embodiment of Great Compassion (Mahākaruṇā).
Across Tibet, from elders to children, households regularly recite his sacred six-syllable mantra:
Om Mani Padme Hum
In Vajrayana Buddhism, Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara is honored together with Manjushri and Vajrapani as the Three Lords of the Families, symbolizing:
-
Great Compassion – Avalokiteshvara
-
Great Wisdom – Manjushri
-
Great Power – Vajrapani
This form represents compassion in active union with wisdom and strength and is considered a foundational practice for Vajrayana practitioners.

Every detail of Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara carries precise symbolic meaning:
-
White body: intrinsic purity, free from defilement

One face: realization of ultimate reality

Four arms: the Four Immeasurables—loving-kindness, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity
