Chenrezig, or Avalokitesvara (Sanskrit), is the guardian bodhisattva of the Mahayana. He is considered to be the essence of the compassion of all the Buddhas. He is pictured here with a thousand arms and his inner two hands hold a lotus between them. His mantra of all-pervading compassion is OM MANI PADME HUNG.
These statues have been finished with electric gold plating, which deposits a thin layer of gold upon the exterior with an electro-chemical process. The end result is absolutely stunning.
