He, so compassionate for the world, shall once become a Buddha.

According to the Lotus of the True Law, Avalokiteśvara, the bodhisattva of compassion, is so compassionate towards all beings that he will one day become a Buddha, an awakened one, who will put an end to the pains and sorrows of existence; that is why we bow before him. Today, bow inwardly before a good person you know, and imitate one of their acts of kindness.
