Avalokiteshvara, Vajradharma (Tib.: chen re zi, dor je cho): red with one face and two hands.

"Vajradharma has one face and two hands; the two are performing the gesture of meditative equipoise and holding above the stem of a lotus, with the same ornaments, appearance and garments as the others." (One Hundred Methods of Accomplishment, Konchog Lhundrub, 1497-1557).

Jeff Watt, 6-2006
