Praising the Bodhisattva of Compassion

From the depths of understanding, a flower of great eloquence blooms:

The Bodhisattva stands majestically upon the waves of birth and death, free from all afflictions.

Her great compassion eliminates all sickness, even that once thought of as incurable.

Her wondrous light sweeps away all obstacles and dangers.

Her willow branch, once waved, reveals countless Buddha Lands.

Her lotus flower blossoms a multitude of practice centers.

We bow to her. We see her true presence in the here and now.

We offer her the incense of our hearts.

May the Bodhisattva of Deep Listening embrace us all with Great Compassion:

Namo ’valokiteshvaraya

Praising the Bodhisattvas, practicing the way of awareness, gives rise to benefits without limit.

We vow to share the fruit with all beings.

We vow to offer tribute to parents, teachers, friends, and numerous beings

who give guidance and support along the path.
