Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes

The ghost king has a thousand eyes; the seeds of eye-consciousness flow forth at a thousand eye bases, so a thousand eyes can all see forms simultaneously.

He has a thousand hands and a thousand feet; the seeds of body-consciousness flow forth simultaneously onto a thousand hands and a thousand feet, so a thousand hands and a thousand feet can all act simultaneously.

For example, a person's entire body, from head to toe, belongs to the body faculty; the seeds of body-consciousness flow forth to every part of the body faculty, so the whole body, inside and out, can all act simultaneously.

A person's mental thoughts are numerous; the seeds of the mind consciousness flow forth to the various mental sense-objects, so the mind consciousness can discriminate extensively, extensively attend, contact, feel, perceive, and deliberate, and extensively create karmic actions.

Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes — which one is the true eye?
