reciting "avalokitesvara bodhisattva" can calm your mind

guanyin bodhisattva is well-known in india, china, tibet and japan. in china, there is a saying in china: every family is amitabha, every household is guanyin, and everyone will recite the holy names of amitabha buddha and guanyin bodhisattva. the potala palace in lhasa, tibet is transliterated as putuo luoga, which means one of the holy places of guanyin bodhisattva. therefore, in tibetan buddhism, it is believed that DL the lama is the incarnation of guanyin bodhisattva.

what exactly does guanyin bodhisattva look like? in several important scriptures, you can see the buddha introducing guanyin bodhisattva, such as:

《the "universal door chapter" in the lotus sutra, the "avalokitesvara bodhisattva's ear-root chapter" in the "lingyun sutra", the "thousand hands, thousand eyes great compassionate heart dharani sutra", and the "heart sutra" that everyone often recites, but in the "heart sutra", avalokitesvara bodhisattva is called avalokitesvara bodhisattva; in the "avatamsvara sutra", the boy shancai visited mount portalaga by visiting avalokitesvara bodhisattva.

maybe you think i am very wise and knowledgeable, but in fact, what i rely on is guanyin bodhisattva. knowledge, knowledge, and skills are useless at critical moments; there are many so-called emotional management, personality training, or moral norms in society, which are useful in normal times or when there is no emergencies. once something happens or situations are present, it is useless.

take the south asia tsunami as an example. when the tsunami comes, can money, status, power or family save you? or, what should you do when you suffer major losses or stimulation in your relationship, family, career, work, property?

many people come to me when they encounter big problems that cannot be solved. not only chinese people look for me, but foreigners also look for me; not only ordinary people look for me, but also people with status. i don’t have three heads and six arms, but i have the thousand-handed and thousand-eyed avalokitesvara bodhisattva as my support.

i often say that when you encounter a problem, face it, accept it, deal with it, and let it go.

we all know that escaping does not solve the problem, we must face it and then accept the fact that this is true. however, the problem still needs to be dealt with, so how to deal with it? i have no wisdom, no other methods or skills, so i can only ask people. if there is no place to ask for advice at the moment, i will recite guanyin bodhisattva. after the blessings reach my heart, i will know how to deal with it.

sometimes, when i don’t know what to do, after chanting guanyin bodhisattva, suddenly an idea will appear in my mind. such inspiration does not come from my wisdom, but a kind of bodhisattva's induction.

if you can calm your mind and your mind will be clearer, you will know how to handle things step by step. this is the first benefit of reciting guanyin bodhisattva. if you can’t solve the problem immediately after chanting guanyin bodhisattva, don’t be anxious. as long as you keep reciting, your mind will be at peace, and there will naturally be a turning point. sometimes a person or a situation will appear at the right time, and the matter will be solved.
