The deep levels of compassion and many meanings and powers of the mantra are much more difficult to fathom. The Venerable Master, in his great wisdom and compassion, wrote a four-line verse for every single line of the mantra and also lectured the Dharani Sutra, in which he included a line-by-line explanation of the mantra. For example, for the first line of the Great Compassion Mantra, %u201cNa Mo He La Da Nuo Duo La Ye Ye,%u201d the Master wrote the following verse:Contemplating with kindness, contemplating with compassion, Contemplating with joy, and with equanimity.Rescuing beings everywhere, transforming the universe, He gathers in those with and without prior affinities, So that they cease suffering, find joy, and return to the basic source.In his commentary on this first line of the mantra the Master explains, %u201cIn general, this means to take refuge with the limitless, limitless, Three Jewels of the ten directions. It is the original body of the Bodhisattva Who Regards the World%u2019s Sounds (Avalokite%u015bvara)%u2026 Reciting this line of the mantra is also a Dharma of Increasing Benefits. If you already have roots of goodness and recite the mantra, your roots of goodness will increase, and you will obtain even more benefits. If you can recite even the first line of the mantra that%u2019s a Dharma of Accomplishment. Your every wish will be granted.%u201dHow amazing is that? And that is only the first line. The Great Compassionate Dharma of the Great Compassion Mantra is one aspect of Guanyin%u2019s great compassion.
