Brief:

Avalokiteshvara, ( Sanskrit: avalokita, “looking on”; ishivara, “lord”) Chinese (Pinyin) Guanyin or (Wade-Giles romanization) Kuan-yin, Japanese Kannon in Buddhism, and primarily in Mahayana Buddhism, the Bodhisattva (“Buddha-to-be”) of infinite compassion and mercy, possibly the most popular of all figures in Buddhist legend. Avalokiteshvara is beloved throughout the Buddhist world, not only in Mahayana Buddhism but also in Theravada (“Way of the Elders”). and in Vajrayana Buddhism.

Avalokiteshvara supremely exemplifies the Bodhisattva’s resolve to postpone his own Buddhahood until he has helped every sentient being on earth to achieve liberation (moksha, literally means “release”) from suffering (dukkha) and the process of death and rebirth (samsara). His name has been variously interpreted as “the lord who looks in every direction” and “the lord of what we see” (that is, the actual created world). In Tibet he is known as Spyan-ras gzigs (“With a Pitying Look”) and in Mongolia as Nidü-ber üjegči (“He Who Looks with the Eyes”). The title invariably used for him in Cambodia and Thailand is Lokeshvara (“Lord of the World”). In China, where he is often worshipped in female form, he is Guanyin (“Hears Cries”). In Sri Lanka he is known as Natha-deva (often mistakenly confused with Maitreya, the Buddha yet to come).

Empowerment of ‘Avalokiteshvara’ Chenrezig is the blessings of Chenrezig who help you to develop loving/compassion and wisdom that dispel the ignorant, it is advisable to receive the empowerment when some one wants to practice the Sadhana and Mantra.
