| Kuan Yin's Great Compassion Mantra or Compassion Ritual (Performed April 15th Each Year) |
| Each year on April 15th it is tradition to perform the Kuan Yin Compassion Ritual or Kuan Yin Great Compassion Mantra. The ritual is as follows:- This ritual is worked traditionally with a low altar and one seated on ones heels (though sitting cross legged will suffice). Set up your altar with a picture or statue of Kuan Yin, The Mandala of Compassion (Print yurself a copy from Mandala below) and either a stick or cone of Lotus or Amber Incense. Bow 3 times to Kuan Yin Offer one (or more) glass(es) of water which Kuan Yin will bless Invite Kuan Yin to come to you and appear Bring the palms of your hands together in the prayer mudra Recite the following:- "May the Peace of Kuan Yin be upon this household May the Light of Kuan Yin be in my soul May the Wisdom of Kuan Yin be in my mind May the Virute and Purity of Kuan Yin be among the members of my household May the Health and Well-Being of Kuan Yin be manifest through out my body, And radiate through the garments I wear. May the Grace of Kuan Yin be in my worship May the Talents and Genius of Kuan Yin be manifest through my senses May the Peace of Kuan Yin be upon me!" Recite this short Mantra 10 times:- "Na Mo Kuan Yin Bodhisattva". Finally drink the water blessed by Kuan Yin. This water now has healing powers. Dedicate this practise of the Kuan Yin Great Compassion Mantra to the benefit and enlightenment of all beings. Close your shrine. |
