Chenrezig or Avalokiteshvara in Buddhism is the pinnacle of the virtue of compassion. As the protector of all beings, Chenrezig eternally resides in the human realm, guiding beings across the stream of existence. This benevolence of Chenrezig is remembered by his devotees in the six-syllabled mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum”, the most popular chant of Vajrayana Buddhism. Reciting the mantra repeatedly, the devotee evokes the presence of Chenrezig in their heart, envisioning him as Shadakshari, or the lord of the six syllabled mantras, in a form that has been represented in this gilded copper statute.
Chenrezig sits on a lotus throne, with his main hands placed in front of his heart, holding the Chintamani, and his secondary hands holding the rosary and lotus with the book. The statue is beautifully studded with blue and red gemstones that amplify the divine allure of Chenrezig. With a youthful glow on his countenance and liveliness in his gentle eyes, Chenrezig infuses the composition with his blissful presence.
