| Abstract | High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Avalokite vara is a bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas. He is one of the more widely revered bodhisattvas in mainstream Mahayana Buddhism. In China and its sphere of cultural influence, Avalokite vara is often depicted in a female form known as Guan Yin. (However, in Taoist mythology, Guan Yin has other origination stories which are unrelated to Avalokite vara.). In India, Avalokitesvara is also referred to as Padmap ni ("Holder of the Lotus"), Loke vara ("Lord of the World") or Tara. In Tibetan, Avalokite vara is known as Chenrezig, and is said to be incarnated in the Dalai Lama, the Karmapa and other high Lamas. In Mongolia, he is called Megjid Janraisig, Xongsim Bodisadv-a, or Niduber Ujeg i. The Great Compassion Mantra is an 82 syllable mantra spoken by Avalokite vara to the assembly of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and extolling the merits of chanting the mantra. This mantra is popular in China, Japan and Taiwan. |
