Out of the great compassion of the Buddha Amitabha, from his

pure Dharma Body, you appear in a faultless and crystal pure

body of white light.

Due to this glorious birth, the worlds of beings benefitted. With

compassionate eyes you look on all sentient beings, to render

them help, give them hope and save them from damnation. You

gave to the world the Great Path of Compassion which is, in

actuality, the Path to Liberation.

Since then countless great ones who pursued this wonderful Path

have been saved from the rounds of birth and rebirth. is great

Path is before me right now and I am indeed the fortunate one.

I wish to show my gratitude and pray that I too may successfully

tread your Path so as to illuminate my mind of delusion.

To you, Kuan Shih Yin, Great Bodhisattva, I prostrate. I shall

always hold dear your name and recite your great mantra of sal-

vation: ‘O M P H’.

I pray that there will be peace and harmony in my country and

in all the world. I pray that evil may be overcome by good, for

the happiness of those who are in every state of suffering, and for

the ending of all disasters in the world.

Please accept my offerings of incense, flowers, fruits, prayers and

the merits of the recitations of the Great Compassionate Dharani
