Description
Yantra of Chenrezig. Chenrezig is the Tibetan name of Avalokitesvara; fully enlightened Buddha and Amitabha's body of glory, he takes on the appearance of the bodhisattva of compassion. It is invoked universally by Tibetan Buddhists through, including the recitation of the mantra OM MANI PADME HUM. There are several aspects of Chenrezig: 2, 4 or even a thousand arms, one or eleven faces, alone or in union with a consort, etc., as per the tantra it is associated with. The Yantra (sometimes called Chakra or Sungkor) is composed of a sacred diagram and mantra, all placed in an interlacing multi-coloured cord. Today, the Lamas often add a small image of the invoked deity or a master to bless the amulet. Depending on the mantra or prayers within these amulets, the effect will be very different, even if the external appearance can be exactly the same!
