Buddhist Statue to help know Meaning of Avalokiteshvara Mantra
We are Kathmandu Valley artists who have been creating Vajrayana sculptures, such as this four-armed Chenrezig statue, that have been passed down from generation to generation to help practitioners know Meaning of Avalokiteshvara Mantra. In the statue, the compassionate bodhisattva is depicted peacefully standing atop a moon disc lotus seat, emphasizing his role as a protector. He has four arms, the first pair of which are brought together in front of his chest to form the 'Namaskara Mudra,' while the second pair each holds an item, such as a crystal rosary on his left and an Utpala flower on his right. Our artists have meticulously placed precious jewels to enhance the statue's beauty.

Chenrezig epitomizes the bodhisattva's determination to delay attaining Buddhahood until he has assisted every sentient being on Earth in achieving freedom from pain and the cycle of death and rebirth. His name has been translated as "the lord who observes in all directions." The practice of Chenrezig/Avalokiteshvara is encouraged to develop of a calm and compassionate heart. Compassion is the root foundation for excelling in the Buddhist path. He listens to the prayers of all sentient beings in times of challenge and difficulty.
