As I read the postings about our Beloved Kuan Yin's Rosary, I realized that I must share my
experience of the great blessings that flow from this beautiful devotional to her heart. I have
felt very close to Kuan Yin from the first time I became aware of her in this life and have
continued to give her mantras and invoke her presence whenever possible. When I worked
in a medium security prison, I wore a quartz crystal bracelet with her image carved into it
and always felt her with me. Recently, I went through a very challenging and painful physical
condition, and although nothing seemed to reduce the pain, Kuan Yin's Rosary was
the exception. I found myself playing and reciting it often, and as soon as I
began to resonate with her frequency, I would feel great relief from her presence over me - radiating and emanating
her love-mercy through my being. I am so grateful to Beloved Kuan Yin for her great mercy!
She is truly present with us when we turn our attention to her and she makes good on her promise
to answer all cries and all pleas. One of my favorite sacred texts about her comes from the "Scripture
of the Lotus Blossom of the Fine Dharma" (or The Lotus Sutra). Which says
"The Buddha declared to the bodhisattva Inexhaustible Mind, "Good man, if incalculable hundreds of
thousands of myriads of millions of living beings, suffering pain and torment, hear of this bodhisattva
He (She) Who Observes the Sounds of the World (Avalokitesvara) and single-mindedly call upon her name,
the bodhisattva He (She) Who Observes the Sound of the World shall straightway heed their voices, and
all shall gain deliverance."
Blessed Kuan Yin said through Clare de Lis many years ago that "each time you give any of my mantras, beloved,
the pronouncement of my name within the heart and being of an individual does make me ecstatically, instantaneously
one with that flesh-and-blood body. Understand that God has given to me this grace for the bodhisattva vow I have
taken, for he is the merciful God in whose image I am made."
I witness to the great power of the Mother Light that flows from her to those in need and through us to others - for I know and have experienced her Mercy -and it is extremely powerful. Hail Kuan Yin - Full of Mercy - The Mother Light is with thee - and I am eternally grateful!
