The Great Compassion Mantra is an important verbal formula embodying Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s great compassionate mind, unsurpassed bodhicitta, and the aspiration to aid and liberate the world and awaken to unsurpassed perfect enlightenment. Each phrase expresses a great vow, and every vow exerts its power. The Great Compassion Mantra is the principal portion of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s “Nīlakaṇṭha Dhāraṇī Sutra,” and consists of eighty-four phrases. Its full name is “The Great Compassionate Divine Mantra of the Thousand-Handed and Thousand-Eyed Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva’s Vast, Perfect, Unobstructed Great Compassionate Mind Dhāraṇī Sutra.” Its name derives from the Buddha’s words to the Venerable Ananda: “This divine mantra has various names: one is Vast and Perfect; one is Unobstructed Great Compassion; one is the Dhāraṇī for Saving from Suffering; one is the Dhāraṇī for Extending Life; one is the Dhāraṇī for Eradicating the Evil Destinies; one is the Dhāraṇī for Destroying Karmic Hindrances; one is the Dhāraṇī for Fulfilling Vows; one is the Dhāraṇī for Freedom According to One’s Mind; and one is the Dhāraṇī for Quickly Transcending the Higher Grounds.” The reason Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is known as the Thousand-Handed and Thousand-Eyed Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is as follows: when Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was still practicing in the Buddha-land of the Tathagata King of Quiet Abiding in a Thousand Lights, that Tathagata specially taught him the “Vast, Perfect, Unobstructed Great Compassionate Mind Dhāraṇī” and said to him: “Good man! You should uphold this heart mantra and, for all sentient beings of the future evil age, bring great benefit and joy.” After hearing this mantra, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva immediately advanced from the First Ground to the Eighth Ground, the Immovable Ground.

The earth in the ten directions trembled, and all the Buddhas of the ten directions also emitted immeasurable light, illuminating the boundless worlds throughout the ten directions. Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva once vowed before the Buddha: “If any human or heavenly being sincerely recites my name, they should also recite the name of my original teacher, Amitabha Tathagata, and then recite this divine dhāraṇī mantra. If they can recite it five times in one night, they can eliminate grave offenses accumulated over hundreds of thousands of millions of eons of birth and death. Wei Xu, moving and possessing the heavenly-eye spiritual power. The heavenly-eye spiritual power means seeing sentient beings in the six realms die here and be reborn there, seeing the forms of the suffering they undergo, and knowing all these various things; this is called the heavenly-eye spiritual power.
