Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, also known as Chenrezig, is depicted in this four-armed copper statue from Nepal, in a blissful mood. The sculptor expertly captures Chenrezig's incomparable pleasure as he sits in deep meditation. Chenrezig's lotus platform symbolizes the emergence of inner spiritual understanding; his crown, the unified forces of Pancha Buddha; and the gem, Chintamani, the wish-fulfilling jewel, is held between his joined hands. Chenrezig is dressed with Avalokiteshvara's characteristics, including the skin of a gazelle on his shoulder, in this statue that is brimming with spiritual significance.
