Four Armed Avalokiteshvara
(Chenrey Zig)

The Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara, Bodhisattva of Infinite Compassion, is depicted as white, symbolizing purity, and possesses four arms representing the Four Immeasurables: loving-kindness, joy, equanimity, and compassion. Two hands are folded in prayer, holding a sky-blue wish-fulfilling jewel, symbolizing altruistic love (Bodhicitta) for all beings. The right hand holds crystal prayer beads, and the left has a lotus, reflecting his continuous vow to transform and aid.
