all buddhas manifest compassion as form, whatever that might be, as did Thomas Edison, you might like to explore the great Tibetan yogi Thang Tong Gyalpo.
Thangtong Gyalpo is best known for his founding of Ache Lhamo, the Tibetan opera, and the numerous iron suspension bridges he built to ease travel and pilgrimage though the Himalayas. He established a song and dance troupe of seven sisters to raise the money needed to build these bridges.
