Chenrezig (Tibetan, translates as "Seeing with Clear Eyes") is Avalokiteshvara (Sanskrit, translates as "Sound that Illumines the World"), the Buddha of Compassion. He embodies two aspects, compassion (karuna) and wisdom (prajna). He is always present for all sentient beings who turn to him in distress. He is committed to assist all beings in times of great peril; all one has to do is to turn to him for help. The mantra associated with him is one of the most common in Tibetan Buddhism, and is sometimes called the first mantra of Tibet: Om Mani Peme Hung! (Hail, the Jewel in the Lotus!) Avalokiteshvara is depicted in over thirty forms. He is most often depicted with a thousand arms each with an eye in the palm, and eleven heads, and a small form of Amitabha sits on his head. His thousand arms show his commitment to work on behalf of the thousands of sentient beings in pain. He often holds a lotus (padma), a mala, and a vase filled with an elixir. It is said that the Taras were born out of Avalokiteshvara's, the Buddha of Compassion's, tears for the suffering of the world. Chenrezig is often shown with four arms, sitting on a lotus. In his two raised arms he is holding a mala in his right hand, and a lotus blossom in his left. At his heart he is holding a wish-fulfilling jewel. He is thought of as the founding father of the Tibetan people. In Zen Buddhism Avalokiteshvara is known as Quan Yin, Kuan Yin, Kannon, or Kanseon.
