Fewer still have had the chance to recite it, let alone commit it to memory. Those of us who have had the opportunity to hear, recite, or learn this mantra should recognize how truly rare and fortunate this opportunity is and cultivate a deep sense of appreciation for this profound encounter.Let us return to Guanyin Bodhisattva%u2019s Leaving Home Day, which fifty years ago, on November 9, 1972, the Venerable Master commemorated with his disciples in a special way. He gave a lecture and said,%u201cTomorrow, we will celebrate Guanyin Bodhisattva%u2019s Leaving Home Day. At Gold Mountain Monastery, we, as Buddhists, will commemorate this special day by bowing the Great Compassion Repentance. In the morning, we will bow twice, and in the afternoon, we will increase our efforts and bow three times. This special Dharma assembly will include a total of five rounds of bowing the Great Compassion Repentance.%u201dIn 1972, when Master Hua%u2019s early Western disciples had only recently entered monastic life, their proficiency in Chinese was still limited. Unlike today, where we can complete the Great Compassion Repentance in just over an hour, back then, it took them about two hours or sometimes even longer. Performing the repentance five times a day, along with all the other ceremonies, required an extensive amount of time. I remember our senior nuns, Dharma Master Chih, and Dharma Master Gwei, also mentioned how long it takes to complete five sessions of the Great Compassion Repentance. Yet the Venerable Master encouraged them, saying:%u201cThis is a special ceremony during which we will bow five times.%u201dTo commemorate Guanyin Bodhisattva%u2019s Leaving Home Day in 1972, the Master held a Dharma assembly, during which five rounds of the Great Compassion Repentance were conducted for everyone.I remember that during our precept-training period, a senior bhikshuni mentioned this practice. It coincided with the celebration day of Guanyin Bodhisattva%u2019s Enlightenment in the sixth month of the lunar calendar. Following the example set by the Venerable Master in 1972, when the Master instructed
