“N T-P K S Y P’”

(Namo to the Greatly Compassionate Kuan Shih Yin P’usa)

or, one may recite her mantra of Universal Protection:

“O M P H”

e power of the function of reciting any of the above prayers is

inconceivable. If someone has grave problems or even demonic

obstructions and recites Kuan Yin P’usa’s name or the Mani

Mantra, the problems will disappear or the demon will run away.

ere are many people who are suffering from having a lot of de-

sires which are their causes of unhappiness, desires such as greed

for wealth, social status, fame, sex, food and other mundane

things, these people should try to recite constantly the name of

Kuan Yin and their useless desires will melt away.

Desire arises out of thoughts. Many people are not aware of

their thoughts even though they are very harmful to them and

to others. eir minds are not really clear so that even thoughts

of greed, anger, lust, and ignorance are left unchecked and in

time evil deeds will be committed. ose who wish to rid their

mind of greed and desire should constantly recite, “Namo Ta-Pei

Kuan Shih Yin P’usa”, with the deepest respect and all their at-

tention focused on it. In time the efficacy of this recitation will

be felt and all kinds of defiled thoughts will soon disappear. To

fully understand what is meant by this description of the power

of holding Kuan Yin’s name, one should give it a try — ‘experi-

ence is always the best teacher’.
