Chenrezig: Embodiment of Compassion

This exquisite brass sculpture presents Chenrezig, also known as Avalokiteśvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, in his Shadakshari Lokeshvara form. This particular manifestation of Chenrezig is associated with the six-syllable mantra, "Om Mani Padme Hum," arguably the most famous mantra in Tibetan Buddhism. Chenrezig embodies the boundless compassion of all Buddhas and is revered throughout the Himalayan region and beyond. His presence is a powerful reminder of our own potential for compassion and the importance of alleviating suffering in the world. Chenrezig is often depicted with multiple arms to symbolize his ability to reach out and help beings in countless ways. The hands held in prayer position before the chest denote the precious wish-fulfilling gem. One left hand holds a lotus, symbolizing purity and spiritual awakening, while another holds rosary beads, representing the continuous cycle of reciting mantras and generating merit.

Craftsmanship from the Heart of India

Handcrafted with meticulous detail in India, this brass sculpture reflects a rich artistic heritage passed down through generations. Skilled artisans have poured their heart and soul into creating a piece that not only embodies the divine form of Chenrezig but also serves as a testament to the beauty and skill of Indian craftsmanship. The golden brass shines with a serene glow, inviting contemplation and offering a sense of peace to any space it occupies. The weight and feel of the brass lend a grounding presence, perfect for a meditation space, altar, or anywhere you wish to infuse with a sense of calm and compassion. This is more than just a statue; it's a work of art and a spiritual aid, meant to inspire kindness and empathy in all who behold it.

Myth and Meaning

According to legend, Chenrezig was born from a ray of light emanating from the right eye of Amitabha Buddha. He vowed to postpone his own Buddhahood until he had helped every sentient being achieve enlightenment. Gazing upon the suffering of the world, Chenrezig wept tears of compassion, from which sprang forth the White Tara and other compassionate deities. The mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" is seen as a condensed expression of all the Buddha's teachings. Each syllable is said to have a specific effect in purifying negative karma and transforming negative emotions into wisdom and compassion. Reciting or contemplating this mantra is believed to invoke the blessings of Chenrezig and help us cultivate these qualities within ourselves. Placing a statue of Chenrezig in your home or meditation space serves as a constant reminder of this profound potential for compassion and offers a tangible connection to the lineage of enlightened beings.

Chenrezig: The Embodiment of Compassion in Tibetan Buddhism

Out of all the deities of Avalokiteshvara in the Tibetan Pantheon of Buddhism, Chenrezig is the most renowned. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is believed to be an incarnation of this Bodhisattva, a living symbol of boundless compassion. Chenrezig is conceptualized and visualized in various forms, with many faces and arms. He sits on a full-blown lotus crossing his legs. He is usually depicted having four arms that represent the four immeasurables; Immeasurable Compassion, Immeasurable Kindness, Immeasurable Joy, and Immeasurable Equanimity. His two arms join together at the heart in a prayer position holding a wish-fulfilling gem in between. With his upper left arm, he holds a lotus flower and with his other right arm, he holds a crystal rosary (mala) which he uses to count the repetitions of the mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum”, which means “Hail to the Jewel in the Lotus, which is capable of liberating all beings from their suffering”. His meditation is practiced by all the great Buddhists in the lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. He is always depicted clad in the clothes of a Bodhisattva and wears the skin of an antelope on his shoulders. Bearing a soft smile on his beautiful face, he looks down upon the sentient beings with his eyes full of love and compassion.

What does Chenrezig represent?

The Bodhisattva Chenrezig is seen as and considered the embodiment of compassion and enlightenment. He appears on earth and looks upon every living being with immense compassion in his eyes and benefits them by turning the wheel of enlightened activity. Scholars believe that although Chenrezig appears in the material world, he is not affected by the modes of material nature and always remains pure and stainless just as a lotus flower remains free from the stains of mud. Chenrezig has all the good qualities that a Buddhist practitioner wishes to develop within himself. Thus, those who meditate upon the image of Chenrezig, gradually awaken those same qualities in themselves.

Can we keep Chenrezig statue at home?

According to Buddhist followers, keeping the statue of Chenrezig at home is highly auspicious. You can keep the statue anywhere in your home; be it your living room, meditation room, or area of worship. Since Chenrezig is very merciful and empathetic toward all living beings, he guides and inspires us from within, to walk the path of spirituality or self-realization. If you wish for a life full of enlightenment, joy, and spiritual bliss, free from anxiety and perplexity, you may meditate upon the glorious form of Chenrezig and chant his name in complete silence until you experience your heart open and your mind peaceful.
