Avalokiteśvara - Tibetan: Chenrezi, one of the most important bodhisattvas of the Mahayana.  The literal meaning of Avalokiteshvara is variously interpreted.  One interpretation is the "Lord Who Looks Down," in which the last component of the name is taken to be ishvara, "lord."  Another interpretation is "He Who Hears the Sounds [Outcries] of the World" or also the "Sound That Illumines the World," in which svara, "sound" is regarded as the final component of the name.  In any case, Avalokiteshvara embodies one of the two fundamental aspects of buddhahood, compassion (karuna), in virtue of which he is often given the epithet Mahakaruna, "Great Compassion."  The other fundamental aspect of buddhahood is wisdom (prajna), which is embodied by the bodhisattva Manjushri.  Avalokiteshvara is the power of the buddha Amitabha manifested as a bodhisattva and appears as his helper (Pure Land school).  His limitless compassion expresses itself in his wonderful ability to help all beings who turn to him at times of extreme danger.  In folk belief, Avalokiteshvara also protects from natural catastrophe and grants blessings to children.

Chenrezi - "looking with clear eyes"; the Tibetan form of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion.  He is considered as the patron and protector of the "land of snow," and important events and personalities of Tibetan Buddhism are regarded as connected with Chenrezi's action.  Legend sees in him the founding father of the Tibetan people; also King Songtsen Gampo (reigned 620-49), who is responsible for the introduction of Buddhism into Tibet, is regarded as an incarnation of Chenrezi.  Among the countless persons who over the centuries have been venerated as incarnation (tulku) of Avalokiteshvara are the dalai lama and the karmapa.

Chenrezik - CD

 

 

Chenrezig, Lord of Love: Principles and methods of Deity Meditation by Bokar Rinpoche - Deity meditation is perhaps the least understood of all practices within Tibetan Buddhism. Yet the use of visualized images in mental and spiritual development forms the heart of this practice. For over a thousand years monks, nuns, and mountain yogins have developed and perfected this unique style of meditation.
Recently many exiled Tibetan masters have been actively teaching in Western countries. These teachers have very generously shared their contemplative knowledge and experience, including instructions for deity meditation. A small but growing number of people have attempted to practice these teachings. For most this has not been an easy path. Many feel there is something here very precious and valuable but difficult to approach. For a person not raised in the sphere of Tibetan culture fruitful practice of deity meditation requires a sound understanding of its basic intention and principles.
