Four-armed Avalokiteshvara

Four-armed Avalokiteshvara is a compassionate Buddhist deity symbolizing infinite mercy and aid. With four arms, he can reach out in various directions to assist sentient beings in need. Typically, he holds symbolic objects: a lotus flower representing purity, a rosary for compassion, a water vase for wisdom, and sometimes a mirror reflecting truth. His multiple arms signify his ability to extend help universally and swiftly. This form emphasizes the boundless compassion essential in Mahayana Buddhism, inspiring practitioners to cultivate kindness and alleviate suffering for all beings.
