The sūtra known as The Inquiry of Avalokiteśvara on the Seven Qualities (Skt. Avalokiteśvara­paripṛcchā­sapta­dharmaka, Tib. སྤྱན་རས་གཟིགས་དབང་ཕྱུག་གིས་ཞུས་པ་ཆོས་བདུན་པ་, chenrezig wangchuk gi shyüpa chödün pa, Wyl. spyan ras gzigs dbang phyug gis zhus pa chos bdun pa) is found in the General Sūtra (mdo sde) section of the Tibetan Kangyur (Toh. 150).

In this very brief sūtra the buddha explains to the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara the seven qualities that should be cultivated by bodhisattvas.
