Description:
觀音菩薩妙難酬,清凈莊嚴累劫修。
三十二應遍塵剎,百千萬劫化閻浮。
瓶中甘露常遍灑,手內楊柳不計秋。
千處祈求千處應,苦海常作度人舟。
Praise of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
Translation by: Miao Guang
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva of unrequited wonder,
With pure and majestic virtues cultivated life after life,
Arising in all realms in her Thirty-Two manifestions,
Quenching the flames of suffering over endless eons.
Out from her vase flows evermore the purifying nectar,
An ageless willow branch in one hand,willingly respondent,
A thousand prayers in a thousand places answered,
Unceasing is this liberating ferry in the sea of suffering.
