of the knowledge
of Bodhi. Until that time, Bodhisatwa worked and
fostered spiritual knowledge amongst those fellow creatures..

Avalokiteswara
|
Among the 108 forms of Lokeswara, Avalokiteswara is the
only one who refuses to accept Nirvana since he considers such
acceptance selfish in view of the ignorance of the great majority
of people who have not yet attained that stage. He is the protector
from danger and his sacrifice symbolizes infinite compassion,
the sharing of mankind's misery and a willingness to help those
in distress. He holds in his hand the indestructible jewel and
his Mantra "Om Mai Padme Hum" is found inscribed on
rocks, temples and prayer wheels throughout Tibet and Asia.
