Avalokiteshvara’s thousand-arm form represents his simultaneous, fully-conscious presence in the life and activities of all beings, as well as his integral role in all activities in all the universes. Celestial Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are known as heavenly manifestations of the Universal Buddha, who expands himself as all living beings. He is the foundation of all-encompassing Oneness. Represented in different manifestations throughout Asia, Avalokiteshvara is usually depicted as a seated Buddha wearing a celestial headdress. He is seated in his personal Pure Land or paradise, known as Mount Potalaka. Out of deep love and compassion, the Buddha is said to manifest as the material world--as well as human Buddhas and Boddhisattvas--as a training-ground to gradually guide and elevate all beings awakened consciousness, and to higher worlds beyond all suffering.
