Thousand- Armed Avalokitesvara(Sahasrabhuja)

Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara (also known as Sahasrabhuja) has a thousand arms, showing he can help everyone in many ways. Each arm holds an eye, which shows he can see all the suffering in the world and knows what everyone needs. He has many faces, showing his endless compassion. He is seen holding things like lotuses, prayer beads, and other symbols of kindness.

The story says that Avalokitesvara was so upset by the suffering of people that his head broke into 11 pieces. The Buddha then turned each piece into a head, so Avalokitesvara ended up with 11 heads to hear the cries of those in pain. It’s a strong symbol of endless kindness and reminds you to be more patient, understanding, and caring toward others.
