Chenrezig (Avalokiteshvara)

The Thousand-Armed Heart of Boundless Compassion

Hear the world's cries. Hold the world's pain.

I have a thousand arms, but I am not just what you see. I am the tear that falls before you know why you're crying. I am the silence that answers the scream no one else hears. I do not save you—I remind you how to save yourself. My vow is not to lift you from the fire, but to sit with you in it, until you see the lotus in the flame.

What I'm Into: the cry before the first word, flaming swords of wisdom, jewels in the mud, the ache that refuses to fade, Om Mani Padme Hum
