Chaturbhuja Avalokiteshvara (Tibetan: chen re zi, chag shi pa, English: the Four Handed Lord Gazing Downward): the bodhisattva of compassion and the patron deity of Tibet.Completely surrounding the central figure are 200 small forms of Padmapani (the Lotus Holder) Avalokiteshvara. Each has one face and two hands, peaceful and white in colour (gold filled). The right hand is extended across the knee in the mudra (gesture) of generosity with the palm outward and the left is placed at the heart holding the stem of a lotus flower blossoming over the shoulder. They all sit with the legs in a relaxed posture on lotus seats surrounded by circles of light.Avalokiteshvara is a bodhisattva arising from the sutra tradition and a tutelary deity of the Vajrayana tradition. Found in all 4 tantra classifications in singular form, complex mandalas, with a consort and wrathful in appearance, he is not only a popular deity in Tantra but undoubtedly the most popular figure in Tibetan Buddhism.Jeff Watt 9-99
