Chenrezig Thangka

Chenrezig Thangka — Avalokiteshvara, Bodhisattva of Compassion

Chenrezig (Sanskrit: Avalokiteshvara) is the patron deity of Tibet and the embodiment of the compassion of all Buddhas. His mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, is the most widely recited in Tibetan Buddhism. Whether you seek a central altar icon, a support for daily mantra practice, or a meaningful gift for a practitioner, a Chenrezig thangka is the most universally beloved image in the Tibetan tradition.

• Large format → for a commanding central altar or shrine room.
