Chaturbhuja Avalokiteshvara (Tibetan: chen re zi, chag shi pa. English: the Four Handed All Seeing Lord): the bodhisattva of compassion and patron deity of Tibet."Unstained by faults, a body white in colour with the perfect Buddha as a crown, seeing beings with the eye of compassion; to Avalokiteshvara, I bow." (Sakya liturgical verse).The central figure is completely surrounded by 185 forms of Padmapani (the Lotus Holder) Avalokiteshvara. Each with one face and two hands, white in colour (gold filled). The right hand extended across the knee is in the mudra (gesture) of supreme generosity. The left hand placed at the heart holds the stem of a lotus flower blossoming over the shoulder. Seated with the legs in a relaxed posture on lotus seats, they are surrounded by variously coloured circles of light.Avalokiteshvara as a bodhisattva originally arose from the Sutrayana tradition of Buddhism, and later as a tutelary deity of the Tantric Vajrayana tradition. Found in all 4 tantra classifications in a singular presentation, very complex mandalas, with a consort and as a protector - wrathful in appearance, he is not only a popular deity in Tantra but the most popular figure amongst the Buddhists of Tibet.Jeff Watt 9-99
