Very few people know. A few years ago, I asked about the meaning of the two characters %u201cNa Mo,%u201d but no one could provide a satisfactory answer; they simply didn%u2019t know.%u201cNamo%u201d is a Sanskrit word that means %u2018taking refuge,%u2019 or more precisely, %u2018devoting oneself fully with respect %u2018 or %u2018entrusting one%u2019s life with reverence.%u2019 %u2018Taking refuge%u2019 means giving one%u2019s life to the Buddha, and no longer keeping it for oneself. If the Buddha were to tell me to live, I would live, and even if the Buddha were to tell me to die, I would follow the Buddha%u2019s instructions. This aspect of reverence implies deep respect (and worship), and to take refuge means to rely on the Buddha wholeheartedly. By %u2018entrusting our lives,%u2019 we are taking refuge with our entire being%u2014both body and mind%u2014turning them over to the Buddha.%u5357%u7121%u559d%u56c9%u601b%u90a3%u54c6%u56c9%u591c%u8036%u6211%u5011%u4eba%u6703%u5ff5%u300c%u5357%u7121%u963f%u5f4c%u9640%u4f5b%u300d%u3001%u300c%u5357%u7121%u672c%u5e2b%u91cb%u8fe6%u725f%u5c3c%u4f5b%u300d%uff1b%u5ff5%u90fd%u6703%u5ff5%uff0c%u7a76%u7adf%u300c%u5357%u7121%u300d%u5169%u500b%u5b57%u662f%u600e%u6a23%u8b1b%u6cd5%u5462%uff1f%u5f88%u5c11%u4eba%u77e5%u9053%u3002%u6211%u524d%u5e7e%u5e74%uff0c%u66fe%u7d93%u554f%u904e%u300c%u5357%u7121%u300d%u5169%u500b%u5b57%u662f%u600e%u9ebc%u8b1b%uff1f%u5c31%u6c92%u6709%u4eba%u6709%u6eff%u610f%u7684%u7b54%u8986%uff0c%u90fd%u4e0d%u77e5%u9053%u3002%u300c%u5357%u7121%u300d%uff1a%u662f%u68b5%u8a9e%uff1b%u7ffb%u8b6f%u904e%u4f86%uff0c%u5c31%u662f%u300c%u7688%u4f9d%u300d%u7684%u610f%u601d%uff0c%u4e5f%u5c31%u662f%u300c%u7688%u547d%u656c%u6295%u300d%u3002%u7688%u547d%uff0c%u628a%u6211%u7684%u751f%u547d%u4ea4%u7d66%u4f5b%uff0c%u6211%u81ea%u5df1%u4e0d%u8981%u4e86%uff1b%u4f5b%u53eb%u6211%u751f%u6211%u5c31%u751f%uff0c%u53eb%u6211%u6b7b%u6211%u5c31%u6b7b%uff0c%u807d%u4f5b%u7684%u6307%u63ee%u3002%u656c%uff0c%u662f%u606d%u656c%uff1b%u6295%uff0c%u662f%u6295%u9760%u3002%u656c%u6295%uff0c%u5c31%u662f%u606d%u656c%u5730%u6295%u9760%u7d66%u4f5b%u3002%u6211%u5011%u300c%u7688%u547d%u300d%uff0c%u9019%u5c31%u662f%u6211%u5011%u8eab%u4e5f%u7688%u4f9d%u7d66%u4f5b%uff0c%u5fc3%u4e5f%u7688%u4f9d%u7d66%u4f5b%uff1b%u8eab%u5fc3%u90fd%u7688%u4f9d%u7d66%u4f5b%u3002%u300c%u559d%u56c9%u601b%u90a3%u54c6%u56c9%u591c%u8036%u300d%uff1a%u7e3d%u800c%u8a00%u6cd5%u8a9e%u6cd5%u96e8DHARMA TALK DHARMA RAINThe very embodiment of Guanyin (Avalokitesvara) Bodhisattva.
