The poignant Buddhist legend unfolds the timeless tale of Avalokiteśvara's unwavering vow to liberate all sentient beings from the ceaseless cycle of saṃsāra. Despite tireless efforts, it became clear that numerous souls still languished in suffering. Overwhelmed by the magnitude of this task, Avalokiteśvara's heart remained resolute, but his head began to split into eleven pieces.
In a moment of divine compassion, Amitābha extended his benevolent hand. He granted Avalokiteśvara not one, but eleven heads, each capable of hearing the anguished cries of the suffering. With this newfound insight, Avalokiteśvara endeavored to reach out to those in need, only to discover that his two arms could not bear the weight of this immense task.
Amitābha, ever merciful, once again intervened. He bestowed Avalokiteśvara with a thousand arms, equipping him to extend boundless compassion to the multitudes in distress. This sacred tale reminds us of the boundless capacity for compassion and the unwavering commitment to alleviate the suffering of all sentient beings.
