The Drama of Cosmic Enlightenment, White Lotus Sutra

Your lustre is spotless and immaculate,
Your knowledge without darkness,
Your splendour like the sun,
Radiant like the blaze of a fire not disturbed by the wind.
Eminent in your pity, friendly in your words,
One great mass of fine virtues and friendly thoughts,
You appease the fire of the defilements which burn beings,
And you rain down the rain of the deathless Dharma.
In quarrels, disputes and strife,
In battles of mean, and in any great danger,
To recollect the name of Avalokiteśvara,
Will appease the troops of evil foes.
His voice is like that of a cloud or drum;
Like a rain-cloud he thunders, sweet in voice like Brahma.
His voice is the most perfect that can be,
So one should recall Avalokiteśvara.
Think of Him, think of Him, without hesitation,
Of Avalokiteśvara, that pure being.
In death, disaster and calamity,
He is the saviour, refuge and recourse.
As he who has reached perfection in all virtues,
Who looks on all beings with pity and friendliness,
Who is virtue itself, a great ocean of virtues,
As such Avalokiteśvara is worthy of adoration.
He who is now so compassionate to the world,
He will be a Buddha in future ages,
Humbly I bow to Avalokiteśvara
Who destroys all sorrows, fear and suffering.‖
