Pray to Guan Yin Bodhisattva to liberate sentient beings from suffering
We know that in this world there is nothing we can rely on. We need to seek assistance from the most compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva to help us, along with our parents and teachers over the infinite past, as well as all sentient beings, to find relief from suffering. We are all together in the Six Paths of Transmigration. We not only want to free ourselves from suffering, but also vow to help all sentient beings attain liberation together. This is the right mindset to have when praying to and chanting the name of Guan Yin Bodhisattva.
