Chenrezig - Avalokiteshvara pendant in silver

Beautiful silver pendant of Chenrezig or Avalokiteshvara. Avalokiteshvara, known as Chenrezig in Tibetan Buddhism, is the bodhisattva of boundless compassion. His name means "The Lord who looks down on the cries of the world" and embodies universal love and compassion for all living beings. Avalokiteshvara is considered the patron saint of Tibet and is venerated in all Mahayana Buddhist traditions

Two hands are placed together in the prayer position (Anjali Mudra) in front of the chest and hold a jewel symbolizing compassion. The other two hands hold a mala (prayer chain) and a lotus flower, which represent purity and enlightenment.

The mantra ༀ་ཨཱཿ་ཧཱུྃ (OM AH HUNG) is chiseled on the back. OM stands for the body, AH for speech and HUM (or HUNG) for the mind. They represent the possibility of the transformative blessings of the body, speech and mind of all Buddhas - past, present and future.

The pendant is handmade for us in a traditional workshop in Nepal. It goes well with the snake necklaces from Atelier Tibet, which are available separately.
