With four arms symbolizing the immeasurable qualities of loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity, this form embodies boundless compassion directed toward all sentient beings.

Within the Tibetan Buddhist system, Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara represents the compassionate activity of the Buddhas and is widely revered as a central object of devotion across multiple traditions.
