I remember my mom sharing a traditional idea in vietnam, that she sees her parents as gods or earth gods and how we should honour them. In a way my mother love has always seem to embody avalokiteshvara.
At times i would think and embody their virtues whenever i needed love. So it reminded me that my refuge was buddhism & philosophy - i remember sticking to one mantra i grew up with that was simple common tibetan mantra that was associated with avalokiteshvara “om mani padme hum” was taught to me very young so i used it throughout whenever i felt extremely anxious and depressed in addition to meditation and deep contemplation. (This was the only consistent thing in my life of chaos). I grew up troubled an i think the symbolism and devotion to buddhism and the images of Guan yin was posted in my home always which reminded me. I grew up in Temples with my mother and monks had always invited my mother to allow me to become a student. My mother also had the same experience, when pregnant with me. (I apologize if this isnt actually related to buddhism per se) Such a coincidence i came upon this… lately i been felt close to my spiritual energy returning to me. “Therefore, living beings should all receive and uphold the name of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva.”īut if you prefer a Mantra over chanting her Name, you can use the Great Compassion Mantra (Da Bei Zhou), Om Mani Padme Hum or recite the Heart Sutra. If there are living beings who reverently bow to Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, they will be blessed and their efforts will not be in vain.” “Inexhaustible Intention! Guanshiyin Bodhisattva has powers such as these. If they seek daughters, they will give birth to upright and handsome daughters who have planted roots of virtue in previous lives and who are regarded and respected by all.” “If women who seek sons bow and make offerings to Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, they will give birth to blessed, virtuous and wise sons. Therefore living beings should always be mindful of him.” “Inexhaustible Intention, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva has great awesome spiritual powers such as these and confers great benefits. “If those who are very stupid constantly and reverently recite the name of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, they will be separated from stupidity.” “If those who have much hatred constantly and reverently recite the name of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, they will be separated from hatred.” "If living beings who have much sexual desire constantly and reverently recite the name of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, they will be separated from desire.” It's what the Lotus Sutra teaches people to do in ( ) Reciting her Name 'Namo Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa' is the most straightforward, easy, and powerful method. What is the best mantra to connect with her? When he heard that there was a Buddhist teacher on the rocky island of Putuo he quickly journeyed there to learn.Here's a thread with some info shared by people of Guan Shi Yin Bodhisattva. Guanyin and Shancai Legend has it that Shancai (also called Sudhana in Sanskrit) was a disabled boy from India who was very interested in studying the dharma. Quan Yin Is Portrayed in Many Ways You can find images of Quan Yin holding the pearls of illumination or a bundle of ripe rice, pouring the nectar of wisdom and compassion from a sacred vase or meditating and holding her hands in sacred mudras. He can transform into a male, female, adult, child, elder, human, or non-human, in order to teach the Dharma. The Lotus Sutra describes Avalokiteshvara ( Guan Yin) as a Bodhisattva who can take any form. One may also ask, is Guan Yin a man? Guan Yin is said to be androgynous. “She who observes all sounds of suffering in the world”-that is the meaning of the name Guan Yin. Swathed in white, standing atop a lotus pedestal, a willow branch in one hand, a vase of pure water in the other, Bodhisattva Guan Yin is a deity of mercy and compassion. So reading its parts together, Na Mo Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa means “Blessings, O Guan Shi Yin (Listener of the World's Cries), Wise Being!”. This is perhaps the most widely used mantra of Guan Yin in China, at par with Guan Yin's root mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum.
