Avalokiteshvara, literal meaning is looking to the sentient being with compassion. in Buddhism, Avalokitesvara is the bodhisattva of infinite compassion and mercy, possibly the most popular of all figures. Avalokiteshvara is beloved throughout the Buddhist world—not only in Mahayana Buddhism but also in Theravada, the branch of Buddhism that largely does not recognize bodhisattvas, and in Vajrayana, the Ta***ic (or Esoteric) branch of Buddhism.
Avalokiteshvara supremely exemplifies the bodhisattva’s resolve to postpone his own buddhahood until he has helped every sentient being achieve liberation from suffering (dukkha) the process of death and rebirth (samsara). His name has been variously interpreted as “the lord who looks in every direction” and “the lord of what we see” (that is, the actual created world). In Tibet he is known as Chenrezig. The title invariably used for him in Cambodia and Thailand is Lokeshvara (“Lord of the World”).
