Chenrezig may be the most popular of all Buddhist deities, except for Lord Buddha himself, he is beloved throughout the Buddhist world. He is known by different names in different lands: as Avalokiteshvara in the ancient Sanskrit language of India, as Kuan Yin in China, as Kannon in Japan. Chenrezig is his name in the Tibetan language. As Chenrezig, he is considered the patron Bodhisattva of Tibet and his meditation is practiced in all the great lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. Some of the most respected meditation masters (lamas), like the Dalai Lamas and Karmapas, who are considered living Buddhas, are also believed to be emanations of Chenrezig. His mantra is "Om Mani Padme Hum" which translates to "the jewel is in the lotus" signifying the indivisibility of compassion and wisdom. This beautiful sculpture is hand crafted by the very talented artists of the beautiful Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal. #chenrezig #chenrezigstatue #buddhistdeities #buddhistdeity #avalokiteshvara #avalokiteshvarabodhisattva #kuanyin #kannon #tibetanbuddhism #tibetanbodhisattva #tibetanart #nepalesestatue #nepaleseart #buddhism #buddhistart #dharmasculpture https://www.instagram.com/p/B9UTkA5na65/?igshid=1h3azbfwag6ng
