Living beings are beset with hardships,
And oppressed by infinite suffering.

Can rescue the world from suffering.

Thousand-Arms Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva.
Ancient story describes that Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva is a compassionate bodhisattva who hears the cries of all sentient beings and vowed never stop freeing and saving all that struggle.
His many heads allow him to see more and his thousand arms allow him to save more suffering beings who need his aid.

THE WISDOM of Ajahn Chah :
" It is so easy once you understand. It is so simple and direct.
When pleasant things arise, understand that they are empty.
When unpleasant things arise, see that they are not yours. They pass away. Don’t relate to them as being you, or see yourself as the owner of them. You think that papaya tree is yours, then why don’t you feel hurt when it is cut down? If you can understand this, then this is the correct path, the correct teaching of the Buddha, and the teaching that leads to liberation.
Once you understand non-self, then the burden of life is gone. You’ll be at peace with the world. When we see beyond self, we no longer cling to happiness and we can truly be happy. Learn to let go without struggle, simply let go, to be just as you are - no holding on, no attachment, free."
