千手觀音的全稱是“千手千眼觀音”或“千眼千臂觀音”，是密宗的六觀音之一。如果在千手觀音像前仔細一數，會發現千手觀音實際上僅有四十二只手，那么何以稱千手觀音呢？據佛經稱，觀音曾發誓要普度眾生，然而眾生蕓蕓，觀音頗有力不勝任之感。于是觀音分身成四十二個大慈大悲菩薩，意在“提高工作效率”。觀音的師傅無量佛見狀，勸其不要急躁，否則欲速則不達。
The full name of thousand hand Guanyin is "thousand hand and thousand eye Guanyin" or "thousand eye and thousand arm Guanyin", which is one of the six Guanyin of Tantrism. If you count it carefully in front of the thousand handed Avalokitesvara statue, you will find that the thousand handed Avalokitesvara actually has only forty-two hands, so why is it called the thousand handed Avalokitesvara? According to the Buddhist scriptures, Guanyin once vowed to help all living beings, but all living beings are numerous and powerful. So Guanyin became forty-two great compassion Bodhisattvas, aiming to "improve work efficiency.". The master of Avalokitesvara saw the truth without measure. He advised him not to be impatient, otherwise he would not be able to achieve it.
無量佛將四十二個個體撮合在一起，只留下四十二只手臂，又讓每只手掌上長出一只眼睛，代表一個化身。這樣除去主體的兩只手臂，還有四十只手臂，每只手臂各配上佛門三界中的二十五“有”（即三界中二十五種眾生生存的環境），兩數相乘積為一千，故稱千手千眼觀音，俗稱為“千手觀音”。其多為立像，這是用了形象化的夸張手法顯示觀音慈悲的無比廣大。
Immeasurable Buddha brought together forty-two individuals, leaving only forty-two arms, and let each palm grow an eye, representing an avatar. In this way, apart from the two arms of the subject, there are 40 arms. Each arm is equipped with 25 "yous" in the three realms of Buddhism (that is, 25 living environments of all beings in the three realms). The product of the two numbers is 1000, so it is called thousand hand thousand eye Guanyin, commonly known as "thousand hand Guanyin". Most of them are standing figures. This is to show the immenseness of Guanyin's compassion by means of figurative exaggeration.
千手觀音的千只手如扇面形排列幾層，有如孔雀開屏一般，十分壯觀。由于本尊形象極其復雜，因此繪制過程也十分不易，應該屬于上乘之作，主尊千手觀音顯得非常大氣、氣勢磅礴，而且千手之繪制也十分細膩，沒有模糊混亂之弊.
Thousands of Guanyin's thousands of hands are arranged in fan-shaped layers, like peacock opening screen, which is very spectacular. Due to the complexity of the original image, the drawing process is also very difficult. It should be a top-quality work. The master's thousand hand Guanyin is very grand and magnificent, and the drawing of thousand hand is also very delicate, without the disadvantages of fuzzy confusion
