The Deity: Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig)

Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara is one of the most important bodhisattvas in Tibetan Buddhism, embodying great compassion inseparable from wisdom.

Iconography & Meaning

• White body: innate purity and clarity of mind

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

• Crystal mala: continuous liberation of sentient beings from suffering

• White lotus: purity untainted by worldly afflictions

• Deer skin over the shoulder: boundless compassion toward all living beings

Avalokiteshvara is revered as the protector of Tibet, and the mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum” is widely recited as an expression of compassion in action.
