We should emulate the compassion of Guan Yin to transform our minds.
Let the mind settle and become serene.
Consequently, by generating thepower of love,
we can resolve many environmental and global crises.
Each year during the first half of the year, the Ling Jiou Mountain Buddhist Society holds a twenty-one-day Great Compassion Mantra Retreat...
By emulating Avalokiteshvara’s immeasurable loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity, we also aspire to relieve suffering, rescue those in distress, and dedicate ourselves to the welfare of beings.
Guan Yin had, in fact, already attained Buddhahood in the distant past. Yet, by the power of her great compassion and aspirations for sentient beings, she chose to manifest in the form of a bodhisattva.
When, through recitation of the Great Compassion Mantra, each moment of mind accords with Guan Yin’s Ten Minds, afflictions naturally cease to arise.
Guan Yin (Avalokiteshvara) is closely connected with beings of the Mainland. She is forever responsive to the calling of suffering beings. That’s why I’m always encouraging people to practice the Dharma Doors of Guan Yin.
