mThe Great Compassionate Dharani
Adoration to the three
treasures, buddha, dharma, and sangha!
Adoration to Kannon, the bodhisattva mahasattva,
the bodhisattva of compassion!
Adoration to the one who removes all fear and suffering!
Having adored Kannon
bodhisattva, may we now recite this glorious dharani which purifies all beings,
which fulfills the wishes of all beings.
Hail to the bodhisattva
mahasattva who embodies the trikaya,
who has the transcendental wisdom.
Hail to bodhisattva
mahasattva who continues to save all beings
without defilement in his mind.
Hail to bodhisattva
mahasattva who sustains the highest, the most complete wisdom and who is free
from all impediments.
Hail to bodhisattva
mahasattva whose deeds reveal the
fundamental purity of all beings.
Hail to bodhisattva
mahasattva, who wipes away
the three evil delusions - greed, anger, and folly.
Quick, quick! Come, come!
Here, here!
A joy springs up in us. Help us to enter into the realm of great realization.
Kannon bodhisattva,
bodhisattva of compassion,
guide us to spiritual contentment.
Accomplishment, accomplishment!
Having testified to the
freedom and compassion of the mind of Kannon, Having purified our own body and
mind,
Having become as brave as a lion,
Having become manifest into all beings,
Having attained to the wheel of dharma and the lotus flower,
we can now save all beings without hindrance.
May the understanding of the mysterious nature of Kannon
prevail forever, ever and ever.
Adoration to the three
treasures, buddha, dharma, and sangha!
Adoration to Kannon, the bodhisattva mahasattva,
the bodhisattva of compassion!
May this dharani be effective. Hail!
