At

that

time

，

Bodhisattva

Infinite

Resolve

rose

from

his

seat

，

bared

his

right

shoulder

，

joined

his

palms

，

and

facing

the

Buddha

，

said

，

“

O

World

Honored

One

，

how did Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva get the name Gwan Shr Yin

？”

尔时无尽意菩萨，即从座起。偏袒右肩。合掌向佛。而作是言 。世尊。观世音菩萨。以

何因缘名观世音。

The Buddha answered Bodhisattva Infinite Resolve

，

佛告无尽意菩萨。

“

Good Man

，

if all the countless hundreds of thousands of millions of living

beings

tormented

by

misery

and

pain

hear

of

Gwan

Shr

Yin

Bodhisattva

，

and

with

all

their hearts invoke his name

，

Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva will immediately respond

to their prayers and set them free.

善男子。

若有无量百千万亿众生。< /p>

受诸苦恼。

闻是观世音菩萨。

一心称名。

观世音菩萨。

即时观其音声。皆得解脱。

If

those

who

hold

the

name

of

Gwan

Shr

Yin

Bodhisattva

should

fall

into

a

great

fire

，

the fire will not burn them

，

because of Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva's awesome

spiritual

power.

If

they

are

being

tossed

about

in

deep

and

treacherous

waters

and

call his name

，

they will quickly reach the shallows.

若有持是观世音 菩萨名者。设入大火。火不能烧。由是菩萨威神力故。若为大水所漂。

称其名号。即得浅 处。

Hundreds

of

thousand

of

myriads

of

millions

of

men

in

search

of

gold

，

silver

，

lapis

lazuli

，

moonstones

，

and

carnelian

，

coral

，

amber

，

pearls

，

and

other

precious

treasures

，

may run afoul of violent squalls that blow their ships to the lands of

Rakshashas.

若有百千万亿众生。为求金、银、琉璃、砗磲、玛瑙、珊瑚、琥珀、真珠等宝。入于大

海。假使黑风吹其船舫。漂堕罗刹鬼国。

But

if

one

man

among

them

calls

the

name

of

Gwan

Shr

Yin

Bodhisattva

，

then

the

entire group will all be saved from the throes of the Rakshashas.

其中若有乃至一人。称观世音菩萨名者。是诸人等。皆得解脱 罗刹之难。

For this reason he is called

“

The Enlightened One Who Listens to the Sounds

of All the World.

”

以是因缘。名观世音。

If someone facing deadly harm recites Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva's name

，

the

weapons of the assailants will break apart and he will get away.

若复有人。临当被害。称观世音菩萨名者。彼所 执刀杖。寻段段坏。而得解脱。

Even

if

the

entire

three- fold

，

great

，

thousand-world

system

were

teeming

with

Yakshas and Rakshashas bent on vexing men

，

when the evil demons hear the name of

Gwan

Shr

Yin

Bodhisattva

called

out

by

these

men

，

they

will

not

be

able

to

see

them

with their wicked eyes

，

much less do them in

！

若三千大千国土。满中夜叉罗刹。欲来恼人。闻其称观世音菩 萨名者。是诸恶鬼。尚不

能以恶眼视之。况复加害。

If

there

is

a

person

，

whether

innocent

or

guilty

，

who

is

locked

in

stocks

or

shackled by ropes and chains

，

his fetters will snap and fall away

，

letting him

go free as soon as he invokes Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva's name.

设复有人。若有罪。若无罪。杻械枷锁。检系其身。称观世音菩萨名者。皆悉断坏。即

得解脱。

Suppose vicious thieves in legions that could fill a three-fold

，

great

，

thousand- world system infest a perilous road along which a merchant chief guides

a traders' caravan laden with precious jewels.

若三千大千国土。满中怨贼。有一商主。将诸商人。赍持重宝。经过险路。

< br>

If

one

man

among

them

proclaims

：

“

Good

Men

，

do

not

be

afraid

！

With

all

your

hearts

invoke

the

name

of

Gwan

Shr

Yin

Bodhisattva

，

the

Enlightened

One

Who

Gives

Courage to All Beings

！

其中一人作是唱言。

诸善男子。

勿得恐怖。

汝等应当一心称观世音菩萨名 号。

是菩萨能

以无畏。施于众生。

If we beseech this Bodhisattva

，

we will surely escape these thieves

“。

汝等若称名者。于此怨贼。当得解脱。

Upon hearing this exhortation

，

if all the traders in unison cry out

，

'Namo

Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva

！

'

众商人闻俱发声言。南无观世音菩萨。

By virtue of calling out Gwan Shr Yin's name

，

they will immediately go free.

称其名故。即得解脱。

Infinite Resolve

！

How imposing is the awesome spiritual power of the Great

Bodhisattva Who Listens to the Sounds of All the World

！

无尽意。观世音菩萨摩诃萨。威神之力。巍巍如是。

If

any

living

being

with

weighty

desires

can

constantly

revere

and

keep

in

mind

Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva

，

his passions will subside.

若有众生。多于淫欲。常念恭敬观世音菩萨。便得离欲。

If someone with much anger can constantly revere and keep in mind Gwan Shr Yin

Bodhisattva

，

then his anger will subside.

若多镇恚。常念恭敬观世音菩萨。便得离镇。

If

someone

dull

and

foolish

can

constantly

revere

and

keep

in

mind

Gwan

Shr

Yin

Bodhisattva

，

he will leave stupidity behind.

若多愚痴。常念恭敬观世音菩萨。便得离痴。

Infinite

Resolve

！

The

Bodhisattva

Who

Listens

to

the

Sounds

of

All

the

World

，

with his magnificent spiritual power

，

confers such abundant benefits as these.

无尽意。观世音菩萨。有如是等大威神力。多所饶益。

And

so

，

living

beings

should

always

keep

him

in

their

hearts

and

hold

his

name

in mind.

是故众生。常应心念。

If

women

seeking

sons

bow

to

and

make

offerings

to the

Bodhisattva

Gwan

Shr

Yin

，

they will give birth to sons happy

，

virtuous

，

and wise.

若有女人。设欲求男。礼拜供养观世音菩萨。

If instead

，

they wish for daughters

，

they will bear gifted daughters with

deep- rooted

，

wholesome characters

，

beloved and respected by all.

便生福德智慧之男。 设欲求女。便生端正有相之女。宿植德本。众人爱敬。

Infinite

Resolve

！

Such

is

the

power

of

the

Bodhisattva

Who

Listens

to

the

Sounds

of All the World.

无尽意。观世音菩萨有如是力。

Any living being who worships and makes offerings to Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva

will never take a loss.

若有众生恭敬礼拜观世音菩萨。福不唐捐。

Therefore

，

every single living being should hold Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva's

name in mind.

是故众生。皆应受持观世音菩萨名号。

Infinite

Resolve

！

Suppose

someone

held

the

names

of

Bodhisattvas

to

the

number

of grains of sand in sixty-two million

（建议改为

six billion two hundred million

）

Ganges Rivers

，

and for this person's entire life

，

made offerings to them all of

food and drink

，

clothes

，

bedding

，

and medicine.

无尽意。若有人受持六十二亿恒河沙菩萨名字。复尽形供养饮 食、衣服、卧具、医药。

What is your opinion

？

Would the merit and virtue accrued by that good man or

woman be abundant

？

“于汝意云何。是善男子善女人。功德多不。

Infinite

Resolve

replied

，

“

Extremely

abundant

，

World

Honored

One

，

very

great

indeed

！

”

无尽意言。甚多，世尊。

The

Buddha

said

，

“

Yet

if

someone

else

held

the

name

of

Gwan

Shr

Yin

Bodhisattva

，

bowed and made an offering but one time

，

the blessings of these two people would

be

identical

，

the

same

in

every

way

，

and

would

endure

for

quadrillions

of

aeons.

佛言。若复有人。受 持观世音菩萨名号。乃至一时礼拜供养。是二人福。正等无异。于

百千万亿劫。不可穷尽 。

Infinite

Resolve

！

Holding

the

name

of

Gwan

Shr

Yin

Bodhisattva

brings

blessings

and benefits as limitless and boundless as these.

“无尽意。受持观世音菩萨名号。得如是无量无边福德之利。

Again

，

the

Bodhisattva

Infinite

Resolve

asked

the

Buddha

，

“

World

Honored

One

，

how does Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva wander in this Saha World

？

无尽意菩萨白佛言。世尊。观世音菩萨。云何游此娑婆世界。

How

does

he

speak

Dharma

for

living

beings

，

and

what

manner

of

resourcefulness

does he command

？

“云何而为众生说法。方便之力。其事云何。

The

Buddha

answered

Bodhisattva

Infinite

Resolve

，
