Avalokiteshvara — ‘Lord who sees in every direction’ — is a bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas. He is from the Lotus (Padma) family. According to Tibetan Buddhism’s pantheon of enlightened beings, Avalokiteshvara is the earthly manifestation of the self-arisen infinite Buddha, Amitabha. He guards this world in the interval between the historical Sakyamuni Buddha and the next Buddha of the Future Maitreya. 

According to legend, Avalokiteshvara made a vow that he would not rest until he had liberated all beings in all realms of suffering.
