Chenrezig, also known as Avalokiteśvara, holds a significant place in Tibetan Buddhism. As a tenth-level bodhisattva, Chenrezig embodies great compassion (mahakaruṇā). He is often associated with Amitabha Buddha. In Tibet, Chenrezig is considered the patron bodhisattva and is even regarded as higher than a bodhisattva—specifically as a Buddha. His meditation is practiced across various Tibetan Buddhist lineages.It is widely held that the Dalai Lama is an earthly incarnation of Chenrezig.
