The Buddha told Infinite Intent. Intention Bodhisattva: "Good man, if there are countless hundreds of thousands of billions of sentient beings who are suffering from various sufferings and hear the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and recite its name with one heart, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva will immediately listen to its sound and be liberated. If there are those who uphold the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, they will be thrown into a big fire." , fire cannot burn, due to the majestic power of the Bodhisattva; if it is drifted by the big water and its name is called, it will reach a shallow place; if there are hundreds of thousands of billions of living beings seeking gold, silver, lapis lazuli, clams, agate, Coral, amber, pearls and other treasures are thrown into the sea, and if the black wind blows on the boat and drifts into the ghost land of Rakshasa, if there is even one person among them who calls the name of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, everyone will be liberated from the trouble of Rakshasa. Cause and condition, the name is Guanshiyin. If someone calls the name of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva again, he will be liberated if the sword and stick he holds is broken. Those who say the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva will not be able to see evil spirits with evil eyes, and will harm them again.

If the land of the three thousand great thousand is full of resentful thieves, and a merchant leads all the merchants to carry heavy treasures through the dangerous road, and one of them sings this, good men, do not be afraid, you should be single-minded.

Do good men and women have many merits? "Endless Meaning: "Many World Honored Ones." The Buddha said: "If someone accepts and upholds the name of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, and even worships and makes offerings to them for a while, the blessings of these two people will be the same.

"The World Honored One has wonderful appearances. I will ask him again now.

What is the reason for the Buddha to be called Guanyin?

"You listen to Guanyin's deeds and respond well to all directions.

My oath is as deep as the sea, unimaginable in all eons.

Serve thousands of billions of Buddhas and send forth The Great Qing Dynasty wishes.

I will briefly explain it to you. If you are famous and see yourself,

if your mind is not empty, you can eliminate all suffering.

Even if it arises. If you have harmful intentions, push down the fire pit,

remember the power of Guanyin, and the fire pit will turn into a pool.

Or drift in the huge sea, and dragons, fish and ghosts will be troubled.

Remember. The power of Avalokitesvara cannot be wiped out by waves.

Someone may be pushed down by others on Mount Sumeru. Or he may be chased by evil people and fall into the Vajra Mountain.

The power of meditating on that Guanyin cannot be damaged.

Or he may be surrounded by resentful thieves, each holding a knife to harm him.

Think of the power of Guanyin, and you will have compassion.

Maybe you are suffering from the king, and you are about to die.

Think of the power of Guanyin, and the sword will be broken.

Or you may be imprisoned in shackles, and your hands and feet are twisted.

Those who recite the power of Guanyin will be released and liberated.

Those who curse poisons will harm their bodies.

Thinking of the power of Avalokitesvara will also affect me.

If I encounter evil rakshasas, poisonous dragons, ghosts, etc., I will not dare to harm them while I am thinking of the power of Avalokitesvara.

If you are surrounded by evil beasts with terrifying sharp teeth and claws,

Thinking of the power of Guanyin, you can move swiftly and boundlessly.

The poisonous gas of salamanders, snakes and vipers are like fireworks.

Thinking of the power of Guanyin, you will go back in search of the sound.

Clouds, thunder and drums control electricity, and hail and heavy rain fall.

The power of thinking about Guanyin will be dissipated in due time.

All living beings are in trouble and suffer immeasurably.

Guanyin’s wonderful intelligence can save the world from suffering.

Having supernatural powers and cultivating wisdom and expediency extensively,

There is no place in the lands of the ten directions where he does not appear.

All kinds of evil realms, hells, ghosts and animals,

birth, old age, illness, death and suffering, will gradually be destroyed.

The true view of purity, the view of vast wisdom,

The view of pessimism and compassion, always willing to look up to you.

The pure light without stains, the Sun of Wisdom breaks through all darkness,

It can subdue disasters, wind and fire, and illuminate the world with universal brightness.

The body of compassion thunders, the wonderful clouds of kindness,

The rain of nectar and Dharma extinguishes the flames of troubles.

When a lawsuit is filed with an official, I am afraid of the army.

Thinking of the power of Guanyin, all the resentments will be dispersed.

The wonderful sound of Avalokitesvara, the sound of the sea of ​​Sanskrit sounds, is better than the sound of the world, so it must be recited often.

Don’t be suspicious if you think about it, Avalokiteśvara is pure and holy.

In the face of suffering and death, you can be a god of clothing.

Having all the merits and virtues, looking at all living beings with loving eyes,

the ocean of blessings is immeasurable, so you should pay homage. "

At that time, Bodhisattva Holding the Ground stood up from his seat and went to the Buddha and said: "World Honored One, if there are sentient beings who hear this Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's self-contained deeds and show his supernatural power to the general disciples, you should know that this person's merits are not good. few. "When the Buddha spoke of this Universal Door, all eighty-four thousand sentient beings in the assembly aspired to the anuttara-samyaksambodhicitta.
