[ The story of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva - Save Sentient Beings in all Kinds of Avatars ] [HQ]

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is also known as Guanshiyin Bodhisattva or Guanyin Bodhisattva. His full dignitary title is "the compassionate and merciful Guan-shi-yin Bodhisattva who saves all beings from all suffering and hardship".

Why is he named like that? Does he really have the power to save people in danger and hardship? How can we get his help? This episode tells us how Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva manifests in the body of all kinds of Avatars to save and liberate the sentient beings from fear, crisis and hardship.

This cartoon is based on Chapter 25 [The Universal Door of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva] from volume 7 of THE WONDERFUL DHARMA LOTUS FLOWER SUTRA:

A good translation of the whole Lotus Sutra with simple explanation by the Ven. Master Hsuan Hua:

Is Buddhism a religion? Or rather a philosophy? Or something else? What is a Buddha? A God or a human? You might find astonishing answers in this book:
