Chenrezig: Skt. Avalokiteśvara; Tib. སྤྱན་རས་གཟིགས་ Chenrezig, is called the bodhisattva of great compassion. He is usually depicted as white in color, seated holding a lotus, a pearl mala, and a wish-fulfilling jewel at his heart. In his form as Avalokiteshvara he is standing with one-thousand arms. Chenrezig is of special importance to Tibetans, so much so that he is sometimes described as the patron deity of Tibet. Among his emanations are the lineages of Dalai Lamas and Karmapas.
Mani Mantra: Refers to the mantra of Chenrezig, OM MANI PADME HUNG ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྃ།
Mantra: Skt. mantra; Tib. སྔགས་, ngag, are sacred syllables used in Vajrayana practice to protect the minds of practitioners from negativity and ordinary impure perceptions. They also serve to invoke the yidam deities and their retinues.
