RECITATION OF GUAN YIN BODHISATTVA'S NAME

Master Jun Hong Lu's Discourse
(Question 205)
February 1, 2018

Question:  Master Lu, during one of your discourse over radio program, it was mentioned that we may make a vow to recite the name of Guan Yin Bodhisattva for 100,000 times to enhance our affinity with Bodhisattva.  May I  know how should I pray prior to the recitation?

Answer:  By reciting “The Greatly Merciful, Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva, savior of sufferings and disasters”, is a prayer itself.  It entails the prayer for the great mercy, great compassion and divine afflatus of Guan Yin Bodhisattva, and to salvage those who are suffering.  When we have made a vow to recite the name of Guan Yin Bodhisattva for 100,000 times, every now and then when we wish to seek guidance from Bodhisattva, it will be easier for us to get an answer through our dreams. Bodhisattva may not be present, but will provide us with reminders by letting us see some discernible occurrences.
