"The statue is so wonderful
I hardly know how to
express the effect of the presence in our home.
What an exquisite work of art it is! Every detail is gracious and beautiful, every line and color carrying meaning
as if they were strains of music woven together into song. I'm going to be finding new elements in the statue even
after I've been gazing at it for years....It takes my breath away..."

Avalokiteshvara (Tibetan: Chenrezig) is the bodhisattva of great compassion. Having a thousand hands and thousand eyes demonstrates that he watches over and cares for infinite living beings. His eleven faces are arranged into three tiers- each of three faces, and above is the wrathful face of Vajrapani, and at the top the face of Amitabha Buddha. His two principal hands are palms-folded before his heart. The other six of his eight principal hands hold a crystal rosary, makes the gesture of generosity, and holds an eight-spoked golden wheel on his right; and his other three left hands hold an eight-petalled lotus, a golden water pot, and an undrawn bow and arrow. Extending outwards from his body are his remaining 992 arms, which form a series of six concentric circles containing 32, 144, 168, 192, 216, and 240 hands respectively. Each hand has an eye in the center of its palm- symbolizing the union of his five 'method' perfections (five fingers) with the sixth perfection of wisdom (eye).
