1000-ARMED AVALOKITESHVARA Card Deity Notecard by Robert Beer. #BDC5 - $ 1.50 (Tibetan: Chenrezig) Avalokiteshvara with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes (Tibetan: sPyan-ras-gzigs phyag-ston spyan-ston)- is the bodhisattva of great compassion. He is white in color, adorned with the eight jewel and five silk ornaments, and stands upon a moon disc and lotus. His eleven faces are arranged into three tiers- each of three colored faces, and above is the wrathful blue face of Vajrapani, and at the top the red face of Amitabha Buddha. The skin of a deer is draped over his left shoulder and heart, and his two principal hands are palms-folded before his heart. The other six of his eight principal hands hold a crystal rosary, make the gesture of generosity, and hold an eight-spoked golden wheel on his right; and his other three left hands hold an eight-petalled lotus, a golden water pot, and an undrawn bow and arrow. Extending outwards from his body are his remaining 992 arms, which form a series of six concentric circles containing 32, 144, 168, 192, 216, and 240 hands respectively. Each hand has an eye in the center of its palm- symbolizing the union of his five 'method' perfections (five fingers) with the sixth perfection of wisdom (eye). Above his is Amitabha Buddha- the 'Lord of the Lotus Family', and in the upper left and right corners are Padmasambhava and the Tibetan Khadampa lama Dromtonpa. At the bottom center is the four-armed form of Six-syllable Sadaksara Lokeshvara, who embodies the six famous syllables of Lokeshvara's mantra Om Mani Padme Hum. On Lokeshvara's right is his attendant male bodhisattva Manidhara (Tibetan: Norbu 'dzin-pa)- the 'gem holder'; and on his left is his attendant female bodhisattva Sadaksari (Tibetan: Yi-ge drug-ma)- the 'six-syllable lady'. | |

1000-ARMED AVALOKITESHVARA Card by Andy Weber Andy Weber Deity card. #WDC42 - $ 1.50 (Tibetan: Chenrezig Chagtong Chentong) The manifestation of all the Buddhas' compassion in the 1000-armed aspect. According to legend the most famous patron deity of Tibet, Avalokiteshvara, took a vow in front of Amitabha Buddha never to give up work to liberate all sentient beings from samsara. After aeons he looked at his achievement and felt disillusioned with his efforts. His body split into 1000 pieces. In his agony he cried out to Amitabha, who then transfigured his head into 10, put in each hand a wisdom eye and placed himself and Vajrapani (aspect of skillful means) on top. | |
