Another form of Shakti Tat Twam

Asi -------------------------- KWAN-YIN Listen to the deeds

of Kwan-Yin, Who wholly responds

in every direction; Her all-embracing vow is

deep as the sea, Inconceivable in its kalpas

beyond reckoning. Serving thousands of millions of

Buddhas, She has intoned the great pure vow. I

will tell you briefly: Whoever hears her name,

whoever sees her And remembers her unceasingly,

Will extinguish the sorrows of existence. She

is ever longed for, ever sought after, The

spotless pure ray of light, The Sun of Wisdom

dispelling darkness, Subduer of misfortune of wind and

fire Who illuminates all the world, The Law of

Mercy, and clarifying thunder, The numinous cloud of

compassion Pouring forth spiritual rain like sweet

nectar To quench the flames of agony. The

wondrous voice of Kwan-Yin, The Brahmâ-voice, voice of

the sweeping tide, Surpassing the sounds of the

world, Is to be held firm in the mind

Unaccompanied by even the shadow of doubt. For one who is

pure, Kwan-Yin, In every pain, suffering and even

death, Can be a centre of reliance. Perfect in

every attainment, Whose compassionate eye beholds

all beings, A boundless ocean of blessings -

Prostrate, let all revere Kwan-Yin. Kwan-Yin Sutra
