Why is there a thousand-handed bodhisattva Guanyin who protects all beings? What are these thousands of hands for?

People who believe in Buddhism may all know Guanyin Bodhisattva, and they may all have seen the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva in temples. Her statue really has thousands of hands. But avalokitesvara has thousands of eyes and thousands of hands. There is a saying, thousands of hands and thousands of eyes, great kindness and great compassion. Guanyin Bodhisattva has three eyes on the top of her head, and each hand has one eye. The reason why she has thousands of hands and eyes is also for the convenience of all beings.

So convenience has many meanings today, but in Buddhism, language is very pure, just like convenience prajna, which means there are many ways and means of convenience. Guanyin Bodhisattva will make different conveniences for all beings in the world according to the different needs of everyone. Because everyone faces different problems and needs help, Guanyin Bodhisattva will ask for voice to save everyone, so the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva in our hearts is compassion and omnipotence.

Guanyin bodhisattva has no selfishness at all. If we don't want to, we will only make it convenient. Avalokitesvara's thousand eyes are to see more suffering beings, and Avalokitesvara's thousand hands are also to help more suffering beings. There will be a variety of rescue methods. Some people just need to cross a stream, while others have to cross several mountains.

And some knowledgeable people say that you don't have to go to some deep mountains and forests to find people with high practice. Because it is possible that avalokitesvara is in our life, and she may be anyone you meet, because avalokitesvara has various conveniences. If someone helps you and makes it convenient for you, then this person is here to educate you.
