Pu Men Pin cartoon ”普門品動畫片“

Have you read my earlier post on "Pu Men Pin" (The Chapter of Universal Door of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva)? I have also posted earlier about the Verse of Pu Men Pin. Indeed, it's one of the most commonly recited Sutra in Buddhism. It's actually a chapter of The Lotus Sutra or Saddharma Pundarika Sutra. In Chinese romaji, it's called Miao Fa Lian Hua Jing.


Pu Men Pin has also been created into cartoon version to make us easier to understand the meaning. The Pu Men Pin cartoon describes the benefits of reciting Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva or Guan Yin Pu Sa. From the cartoon, you will know that the Bodhisattva will react according to our prayers. Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva will save us from danger, answer our prayers for having children, and every kind of harm. Buddhist parents should teach their children to know the virtue of this Bodhisattva and also teach them to recite "Namo Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa" or "Namo Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva".

There are 8 cartoons here about "The Universal Door of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva". You can click the link below to enter the videos page. After that, click one of the eight images of the cartoons you wish to watch. Namo Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva.

Na Mo Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa - the recitation of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva's Name

Here are four videos of "Namo Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa" recitation in Mandarin. I think the videos are really amazing. There are so many versions of the recitation of "Guan Yin Pu Sa" Name all over the internet. I just select some of them which I think commonly used in recitation. One of the videos is sung by Master Hai Tao, the founder of lifetv.org.tw.

Let's recite "Namo Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa" together and transfer the merit of this recitation for all of the sentient beings in the universe and for world peace.

The Verses of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva's Vows

You probably have known quite a lot about Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, the Great Bodhisattva that represents Great Compassion in Buddhism. I also have some posts on this Maha Bodhisattva. Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is called as Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa in Mandarin. He is actually a Buddha of the Past called Zheng Fa Ming Ru Lai. （I'm sorry that I can't provide the text in Mandarin).

This Buddha after viewing the suffering of sentient beings, vows to save all beings again by transforming himself and thus that's what we call "Avalokiteshvara", the Bodhisattva who listens the sounds/voices of the world. We usually see the image of this bodhisattva in female one, but in fact the Bodhisattva is in male body. Why? Because the bodhisattva who actually resides in Western Pureland and according to Sutra of Infinite Life (Wu Liang Shou Jing), that those who have reborn in the Western Pureland are actually reborn as male. That's why I said so.

But, as we know that Bodhisattvas have magnificent power and transformations, they can turn themselves to suit the situation on how they want to help sentient beings. This is especially clear for us when we have ever read the chapter of "The Universal Door of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva". It's stated that Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva will turn himself into any forms in order to save a sentient being. For example, one who should be saved using a king appearance, the Bodhisattva (Guan Yin Pu Sa) will transform himself into a king.

We also should know that every bodhisattva has their vows, and so does Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva. Those Buddhist followers who believe in this bodhisattva will also have to learn the verses of Vows which are used to strengthen our own vows and faith. The verses of the vows have also been made into Buddhist songs which is easier to learn or memorize. Let's listen to this Buddhist song which describes the vows of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva.

Guan Yin Pu Sa Ji (觀音菩薩偈 - The verse of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva)

This is a video of Chyi (齐豫 - Qi Yu) who sings "The verse of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva". She is one of the best singer who always sings great Buddhist songs. Her wonderful voice and the deep expression for the songs will always awaken us to understand Buddhism through music/song.

The verse of Avalokiteshvara (觀音菩薩偈) is one of my favorite Buddhist song. There's a lyric in the contents of the whole song which describes Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva (Guan Yin Pu Sa) will appear anywhere in respond to our prayers. Indeed, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva is one of all Bodhisattvas who has deep affinity to the sentient beings of this Saha World (娑婆世界).

The name Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa (觀世音菩薩) means "The Bodhisattva who Listens to the Voice/Sound of the Worlds".

Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa Fa Yuan Wen by Chyi/Qi Yu (觀世音菩薩發願文-齐豫)

This is a video on "The Great Vows of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva and Maha Karuna Dharani (Great Compassion Mantra - 大悲咒)". It's sung by Chyi (Qi Yu - 齊豫). Qi Yu is a singer who also popular for singing Buddhist songs. In fact, when you type a Buddhist keyword in Mandarin, you may probably find a video of her singing Buddhist song. She has her style in singing Buddhist song, quite different from others.

This video consists of two parts with Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva's images. The first part is "The Great Vows of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva (觀世音菩薩發願文), and the second part is Maha Karuna Dharani (大悲咒).

What (Japanese) Buddhists should do to prevent tsunami and other natural disasters?

You probably think that I'm going to talk about prayers or how to pray in Buddhist view about avoiding natural disasters as this is a blog about Buddhism. I'm not a scientist, so I won't talk too much about the geological of Japanese land, sea or whatever. I'm not going to talk about the meteorological side about the disasters.

Pu Men Pin Verse Chanting - Song version

Any Buddhists who know Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva (觀音菩薩) will likely know "Pu Men Pin" (普門品) which is a chapter of the Lotus Sutra. Part of this chapter is about the merits or benefits of reciting the Name of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva. The rest is about the transformations of the Bodhisattva in order to save all sentient beings.

This chapter of Sutra has also the song version. So, those who love Buddhist song can recite according to the song. I just found a song of Pu Men Pin which is very nice. You can always find many Buddhist song at Youtube. Now, let's listen to Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa Pu Men Pin.
