The Wonderful Dharma Lotus Flower Sutra

Chapter Twenty-five, "The Universal Door of Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva

(The Bodhisattva Who Contemplates the Sounds of All the World)"

At that time Inexhaustible Intention Bodhisattva rose from his seat, uncovered his right shoulder, placed his palms together, and facing the Buddha, said, "World Honored One, by means of what causes and conditions is the Bodhisattva Gwan Shr Yin called '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 told Inexhaustible Intention Bodhisattva, "Good Man, if any of the limitless hundreds of thousands of myriads of kotis of living beings who are undergoing all kinds of suffering hear of Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva and recite his name single-mindedly, Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva will immediately hear their voices and rescue them.

佛告无尽意菩萨：‘善男子，若有无量百千万亿众生、受诸苦恼，闻是观世音菩萨，一心称名，观世音菩萨实时观其音声，皆得解脱。

If a person who upholds the name of Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva enters a great fire, the fire will not burn him, all because of this Bodhisattva's awesome spiritual power.

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。

If a person being tossed about in the great sea calls out the Bodhisattva's name, he will find a shallow place.

若为大水所漂，称其名号，即得浅处。

If the hundreds of thousands of myriads of kotis of beings who seek gold, silver, lapis lazuli, mother-of-pearl, carnelian, coral, amber, real pearls, and so forth enter the great sea, an evil wind may toss their boats into the territory of the rakshasha ghosts. But if among them there is even one person who calls out the name of Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva, they will all be saved from the difficulty of the 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、飘堕罗刹鬼国，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 Gwan Shr Yin.

以是因缘，名观世音。

Further, if a person who is about to be harmed calls out the name of Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva, the swords and staves of the attackers will break into pieces and he will be saved.

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。

If yakshas and rakshashas enough to fill the three thousand great thousand world system come to torment a person, if they hear him call out the name of Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva, all those evil ghosts will not even be able to stare at that person with their evil eyes, how much the less harm him.

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 a person, whether guilty or not, who has been put in stocks or bound with chains calls out the name of Gwan Shr Yin Bodhisattva, his fetters will break apart and he will immediately be saved.

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。
