Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva who always listens to the cries of life and seeks ways to help sentient beings escape from suffering. He has undergone many lifetimes of cultivation to fulfill his vow to save sentient beings from suffering and birth-and-death. 

Therefore, wherever there is suffering, he will appear to help alleviate difficulties and enable people to overcome them.

Venerable Monk Thich Minh Thanh, Abbot of Thang Nghiem Monastery and the Venerables conduct the ceremony of enthronement of Four-faced Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva statue.

The divine power of the Buddha and the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva permeates all the ten directions of the universe, always present in emptiness. Although he has entered Nirvana, his mind is always directed towards sentient beings, and his compassionate salvation of sentient beings is like the sun that shines, brightens, and radiates to all directions. This miraculous power and spiritual experience were present in the moment of the ceremony of enthronement of Four-faced Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva statue at Da Tung Lam Hoa Sen Pagoda.

The mind of the Buddha is pure, compassionate, equanimous, enlightened, and liberated. If our minds are pure and our commitment is absolute, we will feel the magnetic field, the protection of the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas. We worship the Buddha to learn from his teachings and his noble conduct and transform our minds and hearts to become more refined, virtuous, and holy. Therefore, this is an opportunity for all Buddhists, monks, and followers to develop their great compassion and vow to practice the cultivation of patience, compassion, and loving-kindness towards all beings, bringing happiness to themselves and others.
