Entering the Hall to Speak Dharma

Verse in Praise of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas (Issue 301)

Entering the Hall to Speak Dharma

Composed by Venerable Master Hsuan Hua

Consecration of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva

Fourteen kinds of fearlessness, thirty-two manifestations of response bodies,
Speaking dharma apart from words, the deaf and mute hear the teachings.
In the West, Contemplate at Ease is long admired,
In the South Sea, the Great Compassion vow is first to appear.
