Chinese 1000 hands statue represents Guanyin (Avalokiteśvara), the bodhisattva of compassion, and symbolizes an infinite ability to hear, see, and help all suffering beings. The countless hands signify the vastness of her mercy and her dedication to alleviating suffering across the entire universe, acting as a potent symbol of benevolence and wisdom in Chinese Buddhism.
Guanyin is the Chinese name for the Buddhist bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, a revered deity associated with mercy and kindness. These statues are not just religious artifacts but also masterpieces of artistry and engineering, often created with intricate details and traditional craftsmanship. Multi-armed images of Guanyin, the bodhisattva (enlightened being) of compassion, are popular in several schools of Chinese Buddhism. In its fullest form, the bodhisattva has one thousand arms and hands. Each hand has an eye in its palm that perceives the suffering of the world, and each bears a token that offers a means of salvation. This piece has twenty-two arms.
Wearing a stunning crown delicately hand-painted with gold accents. Guanyin sits on a beautiful lotus throne. Two hands, palms together, form a mudra (gesture) of reverence, while another pair rests in her lap in a sign of meditation. The other hands hold symbolic objects, such as a vajra (thunderbolt) to represent enlightenment; willow branches to sprinkle compassion upon believers; a sword to sever the bonds of ignorance; and a lotus to indicate the flowering of the mind.
