The view of Avalokiteshvara


All words marked with * are explained in the
Search&Find-engine for all questions about Casting International.

Avalokiteshvara (Sanskrit; Chenrezig in Tibetan) is the Buddha of compassion*.
To help to overcome the suffering this buddha has multiple heads to see all sufferings and multiple arms help neutralizing all kinds of sufferings.
Recognition of the kind of suffering is important in order to be able to help in the right way.

The kind of suffering is recognizable by the type of his/her state of mind of who suffers.
There are 7 spiritually types of state of mind (6 according to doctrine and 1 is added by Casting International for story-telling visualizations).
The rates depend on the energy of the being.

The Human mind is able to mix multiple types and is jumping constantly from one type to the other state of mind given the degree of identification* (attachment) with the outside World-conditions in relation with the mindscape* of the person.
