Avalokiteshvara
The eleven-headed, thousand-armed Avalokiteshvara is the symbol of the many Bodhisattvas of compassion that attained the ten Bodhisattva stages and also symbolizes the many Avalokiteshvara’s incarnations or Buddhas of compassion within the different Sephiroth of the Tree of Life. He is also known as Kuan-Yin and Chenrezig; in Hinduism he is Vishnu. In the Greek language he is Khristos or Christ who looks in every direction in order to assist and save any being through his Bodhisattvas.
Buddhata
Derived from “buddhadatu or buddhadhatu” (Sanskrit), which means “essence of the Buddha,” (from धातु dhatu, “element, primary element, cause, mineral”). The term buddhadhatu appeared in Mahayana scripture as a reference to tathagatagarbha, the “embryo of the Buddha,” also called Buddha Nature. In general use, this describes that element in us that has the potential to become a Buddha, an “awakened one.”
