Who is Chenrezig?

A lot of people have heard of Chenrezig or seen pictures of Chenrezig, but who is Chenrezig?
In this video I discuss some of the different aspects of Chenrezig (not all of them - there are loads!).
I talk about “ultimate” quite a bit - by “ultimate” I just mean “the essence of” or “the basis of”. So “Ultimate Chenrezig” is the essence of Chenrezig.
I hope the video is useful and please like/subscribe if it was helpful.

Thanks Ben for enlightening us. A few questions if you don't mind: 1. Where does the name Chenrezig come from? 2. Is Chenrezig the same as Avalokitesvara or Guan Yin Bodhissatva? 3. Is Chenrezig manifest into thousand eyes, thousand arms? 4. Is Chenrezig a male or female? 5. Did Chenrezig born out of lotus flower like Guru Rinpoche? Because mantra is like Mani Padme ( like Padmasambhava? ) Thank you, with Metta ( btw, like your English accent and you are very young, indeed. )

Hi there!
Good questions!
1. There have been various translations but “Chenrezig” means something like “one who sees with an unwavering eye” or one who hears the cries of the world” - the point is that Chenrezig sees and hears the suffering of all sentient beings.
Yes, Chenrezig is the same as Guan Yin and Avalokiteshvara.
Yes, Chenrezig manifests with a thousand arms to help beings. But Chenrezig will manifest in ANY form that helps beings.
Chenrezig is depicted as male but ultimately, Chenrezig is beyond male and female. I’m not an expert but I understand Guan Yin is sometimes male and sometimes female.
Yes, Chenrezig manifested on a lotus in the land of bliss and was adopted by a king.
