Chenrezig is a Boddhisattva who symbolizes the compassion of all the Buddhas. He vowed himself that he will not rest until all beings enter nirvana. In that process, he takes a vow – “May I be able to establish in emancipation all the living beings in the cruel Land of Snow, where beings are so hard to discipline and none of the buddhas of the three times has stepped out. I may be able to mature and liberated them, each according to his way. May that gloomy, cruel country become bright, to the island of precious jewels.” and takes a form with 1000 arms,1000 eyes, and 11 heads to see and help everyone who is needed.
The meaning of the word Chengrezig is CHAN means “eye”, RE means “idea of continuity”, and ZIG means ‘to look”. He is one of the celebrated deity and he was the lord gifted with complete enlightenment who refrains from entering the blissful state of nirvana to remain below and save the living being of the earth. He is visualized in many forms, with various numbers of faces armed and with various colors and ornaments. He is four-armed Chenrezig, his two arms are joined in the prayers position and his left arm is holding a lotus flower, and his right hand is holding crystal mala (rosary). He used to count that rosary and repeat his mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum”. He is the Boddhisattva of Boundless Compassion, which is very embodiment and realization of the four immeasurable hands and arms signed of his.
Two of his hands are pressed together at his heart where they hold the wish-fulfilling jewel of enlightenment, the Chintamani. This jewel manifests whatever a faithful seeker may pray for, and is also a metaphor for the profound teachings and virtues of the Buddha.
Chenrezig s clasped hand position further expresses his gratitude and respect for Buddha Amitabha.
In his upper right hand, he holds a crystal mala, or Buddhist rosary, that he unceasingly counts and which represents his continuous compassionate activity in the world.
And in his upper left hand, he holds a beautiful lotus flower in full bloom. Just as the lotus arises, dazzling and pure, from dark muddy waters, Chenrezig constantly manifests amidst the misery and suffering of our world, but is never stained or tainted by samsaric conditions. His blossoming lotus is meant to inspire us to do the same, by unfolding the pure compassion of our true natures even amidst the challenges of worldly existence.
“Praise to the jewel in the lotus” or “O may I actualize the jewel of the lotus” are the ancient Buddhist mantra, it has been translated as a rhythmic slogan in the English language. According to the Dalai Lama, it means “great and vast” because all the wrapped of the teaching of Buddha in one phrase.
OM – It represents the vibration / sound of the universe, divine energy, generosity, and purifies the ego.
MA – It represents the purifies and ethics to jealousy and entertainment.
NI – It represents patience and purifies passion and desire.
PAD – It represents diligence and purifies ignorance and judgment.
ME – It represents concentration and purifies attachments.
HUM – It represents wisdom and purifies the haters and aggression.
观世音菩萨（梵文：Avalokiteśvara，藏语：Chenrezig）被视为诸佛慈悲的总集。他曾发下大愿：
“愿我能度化雪域一切众生，使他们成熟解脱；愿那黑暗、残酷之地，变得光明璀璨，如同珍宝之岛。”
为实现此愿，观世音菩萨化现出千手千眼、十一面等无数形象，以遍观、救护一切有情众生。
“Chenrezig”一词来自藏语：
Chen = 眼睛
Re = 连续不断
Zig = 注视
合起来的意思是 “以慈悲之眼，持续注视众生”。
观世音菩萨早已成佛，却以大悲心放弃涅槃，留在世间普度众生。他的形象多种多样，最常见的是四臂观音：
双手合十于心间，持如意宝珠（象征觉悟与圆满）。
右上手持水晶念珠，象征无尽的慈悲事业。
左上手持盛开的莲花，象征清净无染的本性。
观世音菩萨的四臂象征佛法中 四无量心：
慈（Maitri）：愿一切众生得快乐及其因。
悲（Karuna）：愿一切众生离苦及其因。
喜（Mudita）：随喜他人幸福与善行。
舍（Upeksa）：平等无偏爱，普施众生大爱。
这是观世音菩萨的心咒，被誉为佛法的总汇，六个音节各有净化之义：
OM —— 净化我执与傲慢
MA —— 净化嫉妒与贪乐
NI —— 净化欲望与执著
PAD —— 净化无明与偏见
ME —— 净化贪婪与占有
HUM —— 净化嗔恨与愤怒
这句真言常被译为 “莲花中的宝珠”，象征在世间污泥中，亦能绽放清净智慧与无量慈悲。
因此，观世音菩萨被尊称为 “大悲观世音”，是慈悲与智慧的究竟化身。
