“The Great Compassion Dharani”
The Great Compassion Dharani has been spoken by previous 9.9 billion Buddhas. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva received the teaching of this Dharani from Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha of Thousand Lights, and gained immediate supreme power of understanding. Avalokitesvara then vowed to assist all Buddhas to propagate the Dharma and to work unceasingly to end the suffering of all sentient beings. Avalokitesvara, as a true Englightened One, also vowed to deliberately postpone her own Buddhahood in order to help others and to show them the way to Nirvana. This vow transformed the holy Avalokitesvara’s body into the form of thousand hands and thousand eyes.
Protection by Devas and Deities
If you recite the Great Compassion Dharani Mantra 108 times without fail, the heaven quakes and the earth trembles as the mantra penetrates, and the ten kings of Yama court will be delighted. Reciting the Great Compassion Dharani Mantra can also relieve living beings from Eighty Four Thousand kinds of sufferings due to their karmic hindrances and cure illnesses. Devas and deities will be dispatched by Avalokitesvara to protect meditators and cultivators of the Dharma. All wishes will be granted for those who seek blessing from the Buddhas after 21 days of fasting and observing of precepts.
