A brief introduction about the statue of Quan Am Tu Tu
Avalokiteshvara or Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is another name for Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva. The difference in name lies in the fact that when translated into Chinese, it implies that these two names are somewhat different.
As for the title of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, “freedom” signifies wisdom, that is, the bodhisattva has perfect wisdom like the Buddha, so he attains freedom in all dharma.

It is virtue.
