Kwan Se Um Bo Sal

Kwan Se Um Bo Sal

Kwan Se Um Bo Sal (Chinese: Guanyin; Japanese: Kannon, Sanskrit: Avalokistesvara) is the Goddess of Love and Compassion. The name means "(One) Who listens to the sounds of the world” or “sound perceiver”.


A brief history:  

As Buddhism spread throughout Asia, Kwan Se Um Bo Sal was described as having made the vow to remain in this saha world until all sentient beings are free from the cycle of Samsara. Depending one which country it was, during various periods Kwan Se Um Bo Sal was portrayed sometimes as a man and sometimes as a woman. These portrayals also included the Kwan Se Um Bo Sals in various social levels and from different walks of life. In order to help sentient beings break the cycle of samsara, He or She listens to the prayers and cries of those in difficulty who need assistance and helps them achieve salvation.

The Lotus Sutra also has a chapter (25) dedicated to Kwan Se Um Bo Sal. There it is written that anyone who calls on Kwan Se Um Bo Sal will be freed from any harm or danger. Moreover, those who have yearnings or longings will be able to realize them.

World Peace Kwan Se Um Bo Sal:

Having experienced directly what war is about, and having been personally injured by it, the Supreme Matriarch works continuously, day and night, for global peace.  Because of Her life-long dedication to and great wish for this noble cause, She perceived and envisioned the making of the world's only "World Peace" Kwan Se Um Bo Sal, "the Goddess of Love and Compassion who listens to the sounds of the world."

Therefore, in 2006, for the first time in history, a 20-m (65 ft.) tall, solid granite World Peace Kwan Se Um Bo Sal statue was installed at the Lotus Buddhist Monastery as an indestructible root of Eternal World Peace. This beautiful and imposing statue of the “Goddess of Love and Compassion, who listens to the sounds of the world" stands on a large globe, while also holding a smaller one in the palm of her hand. The statue is encircled by the flags of the 192 Member States of the United Nations to denote the embracing and protection of humankind. This also enables the Supreme Matriarch to bless all the countries every single day.

No matter how negative the intentions or actions of others are towards one, confronting them will not stop the negativity but only make it spread further. Not getting caught by the negativity of others will eliminate even the very seed of negativity. One can therefore either change it into positive or absolutely not even deal with it, or also wish that the negativity coming to one will soon end.  

It is just like this: the result comes from whatever has been created according to one's mindfulness and thoughts. One’s clarity hence is actually the clarity and benefit of all, while ignorance is everyone else’s too, bringing suffering to oneself and others.

 Human beings, especially, have two different minds in one. The first, has everything directed towards the Truth and the second, towards discrimination and distinction which is good and bad, and right and wrong.

One becomes a Buddha or Boddhisattva if the mind goes in the direction of the Truth. On the other hand, a mind headed towards discrimination and distinction makes one into a sentient being.

The mind of discrimination and distinction in a sentient being is like a fire, always appearing and never ending. This fire of anger always makes everyone suffer similar to a fire in the mountain that is inextinguishable.

But, from the world of Truth, which is the world of Buddha, one drop of rain, manifesting Buddha’s great love and compassion, will extinguish this mountain fire in one second. We can therefore all have peace in the world if everyone goes back to the one and true world together.

What I am teaching you is not new. You heard about it before in either this or a past life. This daily teaching is simply to remind us so that we can be clear and live correctly in this and future lives. Believing this teaching is entirely the decision of the one who reads it. In addition, applying one’s own concept to this teaching is the choice of the reader himself or herself.
