Avalokiteshvara

Avalokiteshvara

A Window of Compassion….

Avalokiteshvara is the embodiment of the compassion of all the Buddhas…One who empathizes with all living and suffering upon the face of the Earth so much so that he refrained from his own blissful attainment to become a Buddha until he had saved all the creatures of the Earth.
His mission – to listen to the prayers of all sentient beings and assist them to reach Nirvana – a state of ultimate bliss and the end of suffering.

IN Tibetan Buddhism, he is also known as Chenrezig – Tibetan Buddhists believe the Dalai Lama to be the incarnation of Chenrezig. The Chinese depict this deity as the Goddess of Compassion Quan Yin.

Whether Indian, Tibetan, Chinese, or simply one who chooses no cultural banner, the gift of compassion is a basic human right and aspiration…. to open one’s heart to non-judgment, unconditional love, forgiveness, joy and the overwhelming kindness that is symbolized by this deity is intrinsic to our very being.

It is in the giving and receiving of compassion that the flow of all life on this planet is ensured. May you walk in beauty and the light of compassion…...

  • Wendy Slee replied

    what a beautiful comment! Thank you so much Kelly, because that is what I was aiming for, firstly for myself, because sitting beneath this statue last week, had exactly the same effect on me and I was wanted to recreate that in my own way, and secondly because I hoped to just share a little of it with others…. (hugs)

    Very zen Wendy. Actually, love the spiritual feel. Can I ask what media you used to produce this piece?

  • Wendy Slee replied

    Hi Shey, thanks for your comment…..... I take photos (and sometimes add hand drawn elements) and weave them together in photoshop…..and then “play”......until I get the feeling I seek…....
    I sometimes think there is more at work in what I do, than just me and a computer…. ;-)
