BODHISATWA
Avalokiteswara is famous as a Bodhisatwa emanating from the Dhyani Buddha, Amitabha and his consort 'Pandora'. He is said to be the Bodhisatwa who rules during the period between the disappearance of the Mortal Buddha, Sakyashimha and the advent of the future Buddha Maitreya. Bodhisatwa refused Niravana until all created beings should be in possesion of the Bodhi Knowledge and to that end he is still supposed to work and foster spiritual knowledge amongst his fellow creatures.
the measurements of this god are about 12" by 20" by 8"
