The Pelkor Chöde Royal Chapel opens on the assembly hall’s right side wall and is dedicated to the 11-headed, 1000-armed image of Avalokiteshvara, considered the patron Bodhisattva of Tibet, the embodiment of compassion. His mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, is a fundamental part of Buddhist life in Tibet and Nepal.
