观音菩萨(Avalokiteshvara)
观世音菩萨(梵文：अवलोकितेश्वर，Avalokiteśvara), 两种最通用的译法是：观世音菩萨，观自在菩萨。观世音是鸠摩罗什旧译，玄奘新译为观自在，这是同一梵语的不同传译。中国每略称为观音。唐朝玄奘法师翻译的《心经》，开头便提到：观自在菩萨，行深般若波罗蜜多时，照见五蕴皆空，度一切苦厄。观世音菩萨是佛教中慈悲和智慧的象征，无论在大乘佛教还是在民间信仰，都具有极其重要的地位。观音菩萨头顶化佛为阿弥陀佛。
外文描述
Made famous in the Sutras as a bodhisattva, an aspirant to enlightenment, in the Vajrayana (金刚乘) system of Northern Buddhism - in the Tantra texts (密宗经典)- he is acknowledged as a fully enlightened Buddha manifesting in a vast array of meditational forms for the benefit of all living beings. The most common Sanskrit names for the deity in general and those found in Vajrayana Buddhism are Lokeshvara, Avalokita, Avalokiteshvara, Lokanata and Mahakarunika. After that there are scores of names for specific forms of Lokeshvara - peaceful, wrathful and in-between. The Sanskrit word 'arya' meaning 'noble' or 'noble one' is often used at the beginning of the name for each of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas as well as notables such as Tara.
