Chenrezig, also known as Avalokiteshvara, is a revered figure in Tibetan Buddhism, embodying the compassion of all Buddhas. As the patron Bodhisattva of Tibet, Chenrezig is deeply venerated and his meditation practices are integral to all major Tibetan Buddhist lineages. He is often depicted with multiple arms and faces, symbolizing his ability to aid countless beings simultaneously. Chenrezig's significance lies in his vow to remain in the cycle of rebirth until all sentient beings are liberated, exemplifying the ultimate compassion and selflessness. His mantra, "Om Mani Padme Hum," is widely chanted to invoke his blessings and cultivate compassion in practitioners.
A thankga like this is considered a most auspicious gift to give to someone to mark a significant milestone (wedding, new venture, new home, etc).
