GREAT COMPASSION MANTRA POSSESSES THE EFFECT OF EIGHTY-EIGHT BUDDHAS GREAT REPENTANCE (LIFO)
Question: There is an elderly lady in Guan Yin Hall who is illiterate. She doesn’t speak Mandarin and neither is she able to articulate in Chinese dialects. She is very committed to learning the practices of Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, and had made a vow to practise vegetarianism her whole life. She gets up at 5 every morning to recite the Buddhist scriptures along with a mantra recorder. She has managed to master the recitation of Great Compassion Mantra, Heart Sutra and Sapta Atitabuddha Karasaniya Dharani (Qi Fo Mie Zui Zhen Yan). However, the recitation of *LIFO* still poses as a challenge to her.
Master, may I know for elderlies like her, can they perform a fixed amount of Qi Fo Mie Zui Zhen Yan as a tentative substitute for *LIFO* in their daily recitation?
Answer: Good question! As elderly like her is not able to recite *LIFO*, they may recite more of Qi Fo Mie Zui Zhen Yan and also Great Compassion Mantra.
After they recite Great Compassion Mantra, they may say a similar prayer like performing *LIFO*, “May Bodhisattva protect and bless me. If I have committed any misdeeds, may I be forgiven..etc”.
You may not be aware that in fact, Great Compassion Mantra does possess the effect of *LIFO*.
