AVALOKITESVARA ( Tib: Chenrezig ) The most famous patron deity of Tibet, the embodiment of all the buddha’s compassion, holds in his centre hands a wish fulfilling jewel. His outer left hand holds the utpala flower with the two buds, symbolizing the knowledge of the three times: past, present and future. His outer right hand holds a crystal rosary to remind the practitioners to repeat the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum (Andy Weber)
