Upon Reading This E-Book

An empowerment must be received from Living Buddha Lian-sheng or an

authorized True Buddha School master before engaging in this particular sadhana.

If one does not have the lineage empowerment, one should not, under any

circumstances, attempt this practice. Under the blessing of the empowerment,

students can quickly attain yogic responses with the Deity. Without it, the practice

will be futile and one’s act would be considered an act of stealing the Dharma.

In this e-book, mantras are translated using simple English phonetics. Sutras,

verses, and praises are translated using both English and Hanyu Pinyin. Students

should not assume that the translations can possibly emulate the exact

pronunciations of the Root Guru. It is highly recommended that students obtain

audio recordings of mantras from local True Buddha temples or chapters, or

consult with authorized True Buddha Masters.

This e-book serves as a guideline for the sadhana and teaching. Please refer to

Living Buddha Lian-sheng’s books or consult with authorized True Buddha

Masters for more detailed explanations. If you have any further questions, please

write to the True Buddha Foundation.

May the compassionate Living Buddha Lian-sheng, buddhas, bodhisattvas, and

dharma protectors bless these translated practices. May the True Buddha Tantra

liberate all beings in the Six Realms of Transmigration.

About The True Buddha School

The True Buddha School, founded by Living Buddha Lian-sheng, is a school for

spiritual cultivation. The name reflects the founder’s mission to offer authentic

lineage transmission and practice of the Tantric Dharma which can truly lead one

to buddhahood. All students who have taken refuge with the True Buddha School

must practice the True Buddha Tantra. The True Buddha Tantra is a Mahayana

practice which, by directly visualizing oneself and Buddha as "One" and, through

the cultivation of the purification of body, mind, and speech, can enable an

ordinary, worldly person to directly arrive at the realm of buddhahood.

The True Buddha School differs from other esoteric traditions in that it teaches a

unique Yoga Practice called, the Padmakumara (Lotus Bodhisattva) Vajra Yoga,

which enables the practitioner to arrive at the root guru's "siddhi" of the Maha

Twin Lotus Ponds, an inconceivable Buddha Pure Land manifested by the

Buddha Locana.

The Great Compassion Dharani Water Sadhana

8


by H. H. Living Buddha Lian-sheng, Sheng-yen Lu1

translation by Imelda Tan

Please obtain the empowerment and lineage transmission prior to attempting this practice.

The Great Compassion Dharani is the most renowned Dharani in the Buddhist world.

Both the Esoteric and the Vajrayana Buddhist Schools are familiar with the Great Compassion

Dharani Water, or the holy water that is empowered by the Dharani recitation.

Once upon a time, there was a 20-year-old reclusive nun who went to the mountains to

cultivate Buddhism. By the time she returned home from the mountains, she was already

50-year-old. Everyone was bewildered to discovered her skin was more brightening white

than when she was 20-year-old. Her facial complexion remained as youthful as when she

was 20-year-old. The nun reported that her body felt so light weighted that she could

almost fly. Her visual acuity was so clear that she could see objects at any distance even

penetrate the forest trees.

The people inquired about her practice and how she cultivated to achieve such good

physical health. She explained that she cultivated by reciting the Great Compassion

Dharani. The people inquired about her diet during her years living in the mountains. She

stated that she consumed wild vegetables and berries, and drank the Great Compassion

Dharani Water. The nun further explained that since she had been diligently reciting and

cultivating the Great Compassion Dharani, she had personally witnessed each dharmapala

of the Great Compassion Dharani appearing before her. Once she came across a snake

within her approaching vicinity. Upon chanting the Great Compassion Dharani, the snake

obliviously veered away from her. Another time when she recited the Great Compassion

Dharani, numerous small white lotus flowers descended from the sky. The flowers’

fragrance smelled appealingly divine!

1

The sadhana is translated from pages 45–48 of book #114 titled, "Vajrayana Practices," published on August 1995.

I have read an early work by Ms. Yang Wei Tsung about her recitation of the Great

Compassion Dharani which was very well-known in Taiwan. I have even met with Ms.

Yang Wei Tsung before. There are substantial facts to prove that her Great Compassion

Dharani Water have saved many people’s lives. Likewise, there is a nun named,

“Anonymous Nun” whose Great Compassion Dharani Water has recently been a sensational

phenomena in Taiwan.

There are different pronunciations of the Great Compassion Dharani:

1. The Esoteric Schools recite it in Mandarin.

2. I have heard the Indonesians reciting it in Pali.

3. I have heard a professor reciting it in ancient Sanskrit.

4. There are the an-ler-miao-poa2 version and many more.

When it comes to mantra recitation, we should strive to enunciate the mantra as accurate

as possible or, at least, as similar as our root guru’s transmitted pronunciation. For some

people who are used to reciting it in a certain fashion, it will be difficult for them to change

their old habits. If they change their old pronunciations, they would lose the power of the

mantra. In such case, they should stick to their accustomed method of mantra chanting.

The True Buddha School’s Great Compassion Dharani Water Sadhana is as follows:

1. Make offerings

2. Great Homage Using Visualization

3. Recite the Purification Mantras and the Invocation Mantra.

2 An-ler-miao-poa is the pin yin term used by Grand Master Lu to describe the version.


10

4. Form the Great Compassionate Kuan Yin Bodhisattva Mudra (the

Thousand-Handed Kuan Yin Mudra).

Spread the fingers and the hands apart

and parallel. Position the pinky fingers,

the middle fingers and the thumbs

apart and in parallel. Crisscross the

index and the ring fingers without

touching each other.

5. Visualize the Thousand-Armed Thousand-Eyed Kuan Yin Bodhisattva

appearing from the empty space. Her thousand hands and thousand eyes

emit innumerous brilliant lights which consolidate into a ray of light that

penetrates the water in a purified bottle, bowl or cup.

6. Recite the long version of the Great Compassion Dharani3 for 7, 21 or 49

times. . . . If time is of the essence, one may recite the heart mantra instead,

“Om, wa-er-la, da-mo, seh.”

7. Recite the Completion Mantra.

Note: Some practitioner perceives that at the end of reciting

the Dharani, one should form the Vajra Finger Mudra or the

Sword Mudra to write out the Thousand-Armed

Thousand-Eyed Kuan Yin Bodhisattva’s seed syllable, “seh”

3 times above the water.

Vajra Finger Mudra

Sword Mudra (Form with right hand.)

I believe that the above procedure alone should suffice. The vow of the Great

Compassion Dharani engenders immense power which can eradicate heinous

transgressions accumulated from incalculable eons, deliver one to Pure Land after death,

and prevent one from falling into the three lower realms of samsara.

The Great Compassion Dharani can cure eight million four thousand types of diseases.

The Great Compassion Dharani can subdue all ghosts and celestial beings.

The Great Compassion Dharani can set-up the sacred protective boundary.

The empowered water possesses the same power as the Great Compassion Dharani!

The Great Compassion

Dharani (Pinyin Version)

compiled by Imelda Tan4

The Great Compassion Dharani is a

supreme mantra which can eradicate

hindrances from past lives, subjugate evil

forces, and transform ghosts and spirits

into one’s protectors. Each of the 84 lines in

the Dharani represents a Dharma

protector’s name.

Below is the Pinyin or Romanized

Chinese character version of the Great

Compassion Dharani5.

大悲咒水的作法

大悲咒水的作法此法是 Imelda Tan 編輯。請詳閱盧勝彥文集第 114 冊《密教的法術》45 頁。 ※凡真佛宗弟子、已受了上師皈依灌頂及此法灌頂者均可修、未灌者、不可修。

「大悲咒」在佛教界最具盛名、不論顯教密教、都熟悉它、以咒加持水、便稱「大悲咒水」。曾經有位隱居靜修的比丘尼、二十歲入山、五十歲出山、大家看她、皮膚比二十歲時更潔白、容貌還是二十歲。她自言、身體感覺非常輕、眼力也非常強、身輕飄飄然就要飛起、眼力看穿遠近的所有東西、就算有樹林阻擋、也可看穿過去。問她如何修？問她如何食？答曰：食山野青果、飲「大悲咒水」。比丘尼自言、她勤脩大悲咒、曾看見大悲咒中的護法神將、一一現身在周圍。她遇見蛇、念大悲咒、蛇好端端的從她的身旁悠哉悠哉的走了。曾有一次、她念大悲咒、居然從天上飄下許多白色小朵的蓮花、還芬芳撲鼻呢! 周邦道夫人周楊慧卿女士、她念的大悲咒水非常有名。周楊慧卿女士的大悲水、其水取自「江中一線水」、周楊慧卿女士的大悲咒水、曾經救過很多人、這些都是事實。另外、近期的「無名比丘尼」的大悲咒水、也頗具盛名、轟傳全台灣。大悲咒的咒音、有多種：

一、華語大悲咒。 (顯教所念)

二、巴利文大悲咒。 (印度尼西亞)

三、古梵音大悲咒。

四、安樂妙寶大悲咒。 (安樂妙寶注音)

另有其它。咒音宜力求正確。如有不能、就以自己師父所傳授的就可以。因為有些人持咒久久、要他改、已不習慣、如果改了、反而失去了咒力。

How to Take Refuge in Living Buddha Lian-sheng

There are two ways of taking refuge in Living Buddha Lian-sheng:

1. In writing

At 7:00 a.m. (your local time) of either the first or fifteenth of a lunar month8,

face the direction of the rising sun. With palms joined, reverently, you recite

the Fourfold Refuge Mantra9 three times: “Namo Guru bei, Namo Buddha ye,

Namo Dharma ye, Namo Sangha ye” and prostrate three times.

Send a letter to the True Buddha Quarter to request a refuge empowerment.

State your name, address, age, and enclose a voluntary offering10. Upon

receiving your letter, the True Buddha Foundation will send a certificate, a

picture of Living Buddha Lian-sheng, and a note stating the level of practice

you should start with. The address of the True Buddha Quarter is:

True Buddha Quarter

17102 NE 40th Ct., Redmond,

WA 98052 USA

2. In person

You may receive refuge empowerment personally from Living Buddha

Lian-sheng by making an appointment to visit the True Buddha Quarter in

Redmond, Washington, USA. Alternatively, you may obtain refuge

empowerment personally from any authorized True Buddha Master by

visiting a True Buddha temple or local chapter11, or by attending a True

Buddha ceremony.

8

To find out the dates of the first or fifteenth of a lunar month, please refer to the Western-Chinese calendar converter at

http://www.mandarintools.com/calendar.html. 9

In Vajrayana, the Fourfold Mantra is as follows: “Namo Guru bei” means I invoke the Guru who is the embodiment of all

refuges. “Namo Buddha ye” means I invoke the Enlightened One who is the source of refuge. “Namo Dharma ye” means I

invoke the Teaching (Practice or Way) which is the actual refuge. “Namo Sangha ye” means I invoke the community which is

the support of refuge.

10 If you wish to practice a particular True Buddha Sadhana but have not received its empowerment, you may request for a

remote empowerment as instructed above. Most Tantric Practices, except for the Dharma Protector Yoga Practices, can be

obtained remotely. For any Dharma Protector Yoga Practice, you must personally receive its empowerment from the Root

Guru.

11 To locate your nearest True Buddha temple or local chapter, please refer to the True Buddha School Net’s address

Crossing the Ocean of Life and Death By Grand Master Sheng-yen Lu

Translated by Cheng Yew Chung

Never, since Padmasambhava’s teachings of the Bardo Thodol (“Liberation by

Hearing in the Bardo”), has such a authoritative and enlightening account on

the dying process been documented. In Grand Master Sheng-yen Lu’s 163rd

book, Crossing the Ocean of Life and Death, all conceivable questions are

answered about the most crucial moment in a person’s life – leaving this world.

Dedication of Merits

May the merits of printing this e-book be dedicated to Living Buddha Lian-sheng,

for his well-being and that he may continue to teach and liberate us all.

May all who uphold the name of Amitabha Buddha be reborn together in the

Pure Land of His Western Paradise.

Repaying the Fourfold Generosity from above and aiding those who suffer in the

Three Paths below.

Upon seeing the Buddha, may I be liberated from the cycle of birth and death;

and may I develop the qualities of Buddhahood and thus free all who suffer.

May the merits of printing this book be dedicated to everyone, that all may be

healthy, free of hindrances, strong in cultivation, and that all wishes may come

true.

Honor the Guru. Treasure the Dharma. Practice Diligently.
