About Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara)Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion, holds a revered place in Mahayana Buddhism. Known as Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit, this bodhisattva exemplifies:
- Selflessness: Chenrezig chooses to delay his entry into nirvana to guide and save sentient beings.
- Compassion and Wisdom: While early Buddhism prioritized wisdom, Mahayana Buddhism balances compassion with wisdom, reflecting a universal approach to enlightenment accessible to all, not limited to monastic life.
Chenrezig’s presence reminds practitioners of the profound importance of compassion as a virtue for achieving enlightenment.
