THOUSAND-ARMED THOUSAND-EYED GUAN YIN BODHISATTVA
2 oz Fine Silver Coin – Republic Gabonaise – 2000 Francs CFA
 
Avalokitesvara's Protective Powers:
In moments of peril, the Thousand-armed Thousand-eyed Guan Yin Bodhisattva stands as a beacon of compassion and protection. Cast into a pit of fire or adrift in the sea, invoke Avalokitesvara for a transformative embrace. Pushed from Mount Sumeru or pursued by malevolence, his power suspends you in the sky. Face execution or imprisonment; Avalokitesvara's influence shatters bonds and blades. Surrounded or attacked, his powers bring compassion and repel harm. Facing natural disasters, from storms to fires, Avalokitesvara's presence disperses calamities.
 
Divine Attributes:
Perfect in supernatural powers and skillful means of wisdom. In all lands of the ten directions, Avalokitesvara manifests without fail, liberating beings from the sufferings of lower realms and the cycle of birth and death. Contemplating truth, purity, compassion, and kindness, he brings an end to afflictions. Radiating an undefiled light of purity, Avalokitesvara dispels darkness and illuminates the world.
 
Thousand-Armed Thousand-eyed Guan Yin Bodhisattva on the Reverse:
Adorned with eleven compassionate heads, each representing the ability to attend to various human sufferings. Forty Dharma instruments (法器) held in forty hands symbolize the Bodhisattva's power to ease all forms of suffering.
 
Limited Spaces on the Coin Reverse: 
Due to the intricate design and the limitations of space on the coin reverse, not all forty Dharma instruments are visible. However, each chosen instrument holds profound significance, representing the Bodhisattva's compassionate nature and ability to bring blessings and protection.
