Shakyamuni Buddha declared that for many ages Avalokiteshvara had a specila relationship with the snowy land of Tibet, and prophesied that in future he would subdue its barbarous inhabitants and lead them along the path to enlightenment. All this would be the result of the vow that Avalokiteshvara had made long ago in the presence of the thousand buddhsas of this fortunate eon.
Amitaba Buddha his spiritual father repeated his vow to work unceasingly for the welfare of all beings. so strong was his compassionate motivation that he declared, “Until I relieve all living beings, may I never, even for a moment, feel like giving up the purpose of others for my own peace and happiness. If I should ever think about my own happiness, may my head be cracked into ten pieces and may my body be split into a thousand pieces. Then he start to reciting the six-syllable mantra, direction his compassionate intention to each and every sentient being, wishing that all of them would be free of their suffering.
Finally he thought arose from his deep absorption and surveyed the Land of Snow, he was bitterly disappointed to realize that he had in face helped only minute number of beings out of their misery; the vast majority remained trapped within their delusions as before. In desperation he called out,. “What is the use? I can do nothing for them. It is better for me to be happy and peaceful myself.” No sooner had these words passed his lips then, by the power of his previous vow, his head split into ten pieces and his body into a thousand, filling the dejected bodhisattva with unbearable pain.
Then Amitabha restored Avalokiteshvara’s broken body, transfiguring his torn flesh into a thousand hands, each with its own wisdom eye. Similarly he transformed the shattered pieces of his head into ten faces, nine of them peaceful and one wrathful, so that he could look i all directions simultaneously and reach out compassionately and forcefully to all beings. Then he become Avalokiteshvara.
