千手観音とは救済の慈悲を多くの手で表現している仏様
千手観音とは正式名を千手千眼観自在菩薩と言い、「生きとし生けるもの全てを漏らすことなく救済したい」という慈悲を持つ仏様です。
その名の通り、千の手と千の眼で人々の苦しみをみつけ、救い出すという大きな慈悲から「大悲観音」と呼ばれることや、得られる功徳が大きい事から「蓮華王」「観音王」と呼ばれることもあります。
千手観音は「観音菩薩」が変化した姿でもあります。
観音菩薩は「人々の苦しみの声を聞き、その人に合った救いの手を差し伸べる」菩薩であり、あらゆる人々の苦しみや願いを聞くため、三十三の姿に変化するとも言われています。
その中でも代表的な姿が六観音と呼ばれる姿であり、千手観音はこの六観音の一体に属します。
六観音は他に
