Avalokiteshvara, also known as Chenrezig, embodies the essence of Buddha's compassion, choosing to delay his entry into Nirvana until all suffering ceases.
Chenrezig is adorned with golden jewels from head to toe. His hands are in a devotional gesture, and his upper right hand holds a special symbol, a crystal akshamala or rosary, representing the endless cycle. He is using the rosary to count the repetitions of his mantra. His left hand clasps a lotus, symbolizing liberation from suffering to enlightenment. Draped in red and golden silk, and seated in the Padmasana "meditative pose" on lotus petals, Avalokiteshvara emanates compassion.
