Chenrezig, or Avalokitesvara, is a depiction of the Buddha seated with one hand in front of his chest, performing the Uttarabodhi Mudra. This is the moment when the Buddha - bodhisattva puts his two hands together and pulls the index fingers and the other fingers wrapped around each other. This gesture is supposed to represent the highest enlightenment. The second set of hands, shown in the image above, depicts the Jnana Mudra - the mudra of teaching with the touches of the fingers forming the wheel of the law. The arms alone represent four immeasurable things: immeasurable kindness, immeasurable compassion, immeasurable joy, and immeasurable equanimity . The outer right hand holds crystal beads like those used to count mantras. This is because, like the continuous counting of beads, Avalokitesvara continuously benefits all sentient beings. He holds a lotus flower in his outer left hand. This bodhisattva has a circle above his head like a "halo" that shows his impermanence and the greatest, similar to God. Also in this picture there are great images of wealth and nature. This could show the importance of Avalokitesvara's greatness and devotion to the world. This image would be used mainly to worship and remember the great bodhisattva who awaits his enlightenment until every person in the world reaches nirvana.
