The Compassion and Mercy of Quan Yin

Quan Yin, Quan Yin, Quan Yin, our beloved Goddess
We cry out to you thrice for your most infinite
compassion and mercy
For you are the embodiment of compassionate loving kindness
For you are the Bodhisattva of Compassion
For you are She who hears our cries
and...
You are She who answers our cries

Oh, Quan Yin
You are of many symbols and mudras
With one being that of the Yoni Mudra
The Yoni Mudra that symbolizes the womb as the door
for entry into this world
The womb that is the giver of all life

Oh You, Quan Yin, You are our virgin Goddess who protects us women
For it is You who offers us women a religious life
or...
A life of marriage with or without children
For it is You, Quan Yin, who does these for those of us
that desire them
For it is You, Quan Yin, who helps us women
decide on a life that is right for our
individual path

For You, Quan Yin, You are our merciful Goddess
Who in one hand holds the pearls of illumination
While in the other You hold the vase that holds the
healing water, the water of life
The healing water of life that blesses us
with physical and spiritual peace
At the same time, You hold a sheaf of ripe rice
that bestows upon us fertility and sustenance
and...
It is You that are sometimes found with the dragon
The dragon who symbolizes high spirituality, wisdom,
strength, and divine powers of transformation

Oh Quan Yin, our Enlightened One, our true Bodhisattva
You are the One who remains in the earthly realms
to help us all attain enlightenment
and...
It is you who will not leave these earthly realms
until have attained enlightment
and...
It is You whom we ask for liberation from the
pain-filled cycle of birth, death, and rebirth

For You Quan Yin
You are the Goddess of Mercy
You are She who is free from all pride and vengefulness
and...
You are She who embodies the attributes of an all pervasive, all
consuming, unwavering loving compassion and who is accessible
to everyone
and...
it is thru You, Quan Yin, that our rebirth and renewal
is granted

Oh, Quan Yin, our most compassionate Goddess,
we give many thanks to you ten fold
because...
It is thru our devotion to You, Quan Yin
That we have all become more compassionate
and loving to all
and...
It is you, Quan Yin, who have captured our hearts
