Four-Armed Guanyin
Rat — Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara (a Manifestation of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin)
In both Tibetan and Han Chinese Buddhism, the Twelve Zodiac Guardian Deities—also known as “Birth Buddhas”—are assigned according to one’s birth year and zodiac sign. Each Buddha or Bodhisattva protects individuals born under their corresponding sign, bringing them peace, auspiciousness, complete wisdom, and smooth success in life and career.
The guardian deity for those born in the Year of the Rat is the Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara, also known as the Four-Armed Guanyin. This is one of the manifestations of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva. He embodies great compassion, great wisdom, great vows, and great power. The four arms respectively hold a mala (prayer beads), a lotus flower, a dharma wheel, and form a gesture of prayer, symbolizing the vow to liberate all beings through compassion and wisdom while helping to dissolve afflictions and accumulate merit.
Worshiping or wearing an image of the Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara as one’s Birth Deity helps Rat-born individuals turn misfortune into fortune, avoid calamities, strengthen inner resilience, and be guided toward a path of compassion and spiritual wisdom.
All Birth Deity thangkas offered by Sage Wish are blessed and consecrated by esteemed Tibetan monks, Rinpoches, and living Buddhas, carrying immeasurable merit and divine blessings.
