'''Khasarpani''' (Skt. ''Khasarpaṇi''; Tib. ཁ་སར་པའ་ཎི་, [[Wyl.]] ''kha sar p'a Ni'') — a form of [[Avalokiteshvara]] with one face and two hands. His right hand is in the [[mudra of supreme generosity]], and the left is often in the [[mudra of teaching the Dharma]] and holds a lotus blooming at the level of his left ear. Iconographically, Avalokiteshvara Khasarpani is often indistinguishable from the seated form of the meditational deity called [[Amoghapasha]] (Unfailing Lasso). They are often conflated in both Sanskrit and Tibetan texts and practices. 

The great [[Tertön]] [[Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa]] discovered an image of Avalokiteshvara Khasarpani made from a bone of [[Yeshe Tsogyal]] as the sacred body representation for his ter ''Padma Tsuktor''. This image was last known to be in the treasury of [[Rumtek Monastery]] during the lifetime of the 16th Gyalwa [[Karmapa Rangjung Rigpé Dorje]].
