Introduction of Chenrezig

Chenrezig embodies the bodhisattva's vow to delay Buddhahood until every sentient being on Earth has achieved liberation from suffering and the cycle of death and rebirth. His name translates to 'the Lord who looks in all ways.' The practice of Chenrezig/Avalokiteshvara is encouraged to cultivate a calm and compassionate heart, as compassion is fundamental to the Buddhist path. He listens to the prayers of all sentient beings during times of challenge and difficulty.
