Chenrezig; Avalokiteśvara; 觀音 (Guanyin)
Chenrezig, also known as Avalokiteshvara, embodies the compassion of all Buddhas and listens to the prayers of sentient beings in times of difficulty. In Buddhist tradition, he vowed to help free all beings from samsara but found the task overwhelming. To assist more effectively, his arms shattered into countless pieces. He is often depicted with eleven heads and a thousand arms, symbolising his ability to see and aid all.
