The Blessing Empowerment of Buddha Avalokiteshvara
Avalokiteshvara, or “Chenrezig” in Tibetan, is an enlightened being who is a manifestation of all Buddhas’ compassion. Hence, he is known as the ‘Buddha of compassion’. By relying upon him, we naturally increase our own compassion.
Avalokiteshvara usually appears white in color with four arms. His first two hands hold a jewel, symbolizing his own enlightenment; his second left hand holds a white lotus flower, symbolizing his complete purity of body, speech and mind; and his second right hand holds a crystal mala, symbolizing that he can free all living beings from samsara.
The empowerment includes the transmission of the mantra of Buddha Avalokiteshvara, OM MANI PAME HUM. By reciting this mantra regularly and with strong faith our compassion will naturally grow and we will make swift spiritual progress.
