Avalokiteshvara ("God who looks with compassion upon people") is, as the name suggests, the Bodhisattva of compassion. In India he is depicted as male, in East Asia she is depicted as female (in China she is called Guanyin, in Japan Kannon).
Avalokiteshvara is invoked with the mantra "Om manipadme hum" = "oh, you who possess a jewel and sit on the lotus flower" (om = the keynote of all that exists, mani = the spiritual jewel of the enlightened mind, padma = lotus, hum = enlightenment)
Cintamani: the jewel that fulfils your (spiritual) wishes, because those arise from your most important needs; the jewel is pearl-shaped, in Tibetan images it is kept in a radiant vessel
