to the Triple Jewel of the ten directions. Before the Triple Jewel of the Dharma Realm of the ten
directions, my body everywhere makes offerings. Each one entirely pervades the Dharma Realm,
each one unalloyed and unimpeded, exhausting the bounds of the future, doing the Buddhas' work,
and spreading fragrance everywhere over all the living beings in the Dharma Realm. Having received
the fragrance, they bring forth the Bodhi-mind, and together they enter the unproduced and are
certified to the Buddhas' wisdom.”

(Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva addressed the Buddha, saying “Bhagavat! If any being recites and
upholds the miraculous Great Compassion Dharani, and is reborn in the three evil realms, I will not
attain ultimate enlightenment.
“If any being who recites and upholds the miraculous Great Compassion Dharani, and is not reborn
in a Buddha realm, I will not attain ultimate enlightenment.
“If any being who recites and upholds the miraculous Great Compassion Dharani, and does not
acquire the boundless Samadhi and oratory eloquence, I will not attain ultimate enlightenment.
“If any being who recites and upholds the miraculous Great Compassion Dharani, and cannot have
their wishes fulfilled in the present life, I will not attain ultimate enlightenment.”
After saying these pledges to the Buddha, she then turned in front of the assembly with both palms
together and a kind smile, engendered by the thought of great compassion for all beings, she
discourses the miraculous verses and sentences of this grand, complete, and unobstructed Dharani
of Great Compassion.
The sublime and sacred holy dharani is stated thus):

Adoration to the Triple Treasure! Adoration to the Holy Avalokitesvara

Bodhisattva Mahasattva the Great Compassionate One!
Aum! He who has leaped beyond all fears! Having adored him,
May I enter into the heart of the Blue-necked one known as the holy adorable Avalokitesvara!
It means the completing of all meaning, It is pure, It is that which makes all beings victorious
And cleanses the path of the existence. Thus: Aum! The seer, the world-transcending one!
O Hari! The Mahabodhisattva! All, all! Defilements, defilement!
The earth, the earth! It is the heart. Do, do the work! Hold fast, hold fast!
O great victor! Hold on, hold on! I hold on to Indra the creator!
Move, move! My defilement-free seal! Come, come! Hear, hear!
A joy springs up in me! Speak, speak! Directing! Like the trampling of elephants on the earth!
Like the trampling of elephants causing it to tremble! Going, Going! Auspicious! Auspicious!
The Excellent, Excellent One! Be awakened, be awakened! Have awakened, have awakened!
O merciful one! Blue-necked one! Of daring ones! To the joyous, Svaha!
To the successful one, Svaha! To the great successful one, Svaha!
To the one who has attained mastery in the discipline, Svaha! To the boar-faced one, Svaha!
To the one with a lion’s head and face, Svaha!
To the one holding a weapon in his hand, Svaha! To the blue-necked one, Svaha!
To the one holding a chakra in his hand, Svaha! To the one holding a lotus in his hand, Svaha!
To the blue-necked far causing one, Svaha! To the beneficent one referred to in this Dharani, Svaha!
Adoration to the Triple Treasure! Adoration to Avalokitesvara!
Svaha! Om! May this succeed! To this mantra, Svaha!

[This Dharani may be recited a total of three, seven or up to eighteen times, depending
on the time. On the third repetition of the mantra and at the signal of the lead chanter’s
hand bell, the congregation first makes a half bow and then faces the center aisle to
begin circumambulating the shrine hall, continuing to do this until the final invocation
of the mantra. After the mantra is finished, the congregation return to their seats and
makes a half bow.]

When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva finished reciting this mantra, the earth shook in six ways and the
sky rained down heavenly flowers, which fell in a profusion of colors.
All the Buddhas were delighted, but Mara and heretics were all petrified in fear. Everyone in the
assembly achieved the fruits of the spiritual path.
Some achieved the fruit of stream-enterer, some that of a once returner, some a non returner,
And some even attained the fruit of an Arhat. Some achieved the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, or
even up to the tenth stage of the Bodhisattva path and countless beings aspired to bodhicitta.

“I and all living beings, from beginningless time, have been constantly obstructed by the grave
offenses of the three karmic actions and the six sense-faculties, not seeing any Buddhas, not
knowing the essentials of escape, merely complying with birth and death and not knowing the
wonderful principle. Now, although I know, I continue, along with all other living beings, to be
obstructed by all kinds of grave offenses. Now, before Avalokitesvara and the Buddhas of the ten
directions, for the sake of all living beings everywhere, I return my life in repentance and reform,
praying that there will be protection, and that offenses will be caused to be eradicated.”

[The congregation rises at the sound of the handbell, then make a half bow. Kneel.]

“I and all beings, from beginningless time until the present, because of love and views, I scheme
for myself within, and consort with bad friends outside. I do not rejoice compliantly in even a hair's
breadth of the good of others, but with the three karmic actions commit all manner of offenses on
a wide scale. Although what I do is not a very great matter in itself, my evil mind pervades
everything. It continues day and night without cease, covering up its transgressions, errors, and
mistakes, not wanting people to know, not fearing evil ways, not ashamed , without remorse,
denying cause and effect. Therefore, on this day, I have come to believe deeply in cause and
effect. I give birth to deep shame and great fear and repent. I cut off that incessant mind, bring
forth the Bodhi-mind, cut off evil and cultivate good, go diligently forward in the three karmic
actions, reform all my past errors, and rejoice compliantly in the slightest hair's breadth of the
good of sages and ordinary people. I recollect the Buddhas of the ten directions, who have great
blessings and wisdom which can rescue me and pull me, along with all other living beings, out of
the sea of the two deaths, and can bring me straight to the shore of the three virtues. From
beginningless time onward, I have not known that all dharmas are in their fundamental nature
empty and still, and I have committed all manner of evil on a wide scale. Knowing now that all
dharmas are empty and still, for the sake of seeking Bodhi and for the sake of living beings, I
completely cut off every evil, and cultivate all good on a wide scale. I only pray that Avalokitesvara
will compassionately gather it in and receive it.”
