The Tibetan name of the Buddha of Compassion is Chenrezig, also known as
Avalokiteshvara. Avalokiteshvara is the archangelic Bodhisattva of Great
Compassion. His vast vows to save all beings are said by the texts to be
inconceivable. With his special mantra OM MANI PADME HUM (" Hail the jewel
in the Lotus"), he travels to all realms of the universe in his tireless
quest to deliver beings from suffering. With his female colleagues, Tara and
Bodhisattva is probably the most universally beloved divine figure in
Mahayana Buddhism. $75.00/ 200 limited edition
