黃艋舺 大悲咒 The Nīlakaṇṭha Dhāraṇī, also known as the Mahā Karuṇā (-citta) Dhāraṇī, Mahākaruṇika Dhāraṇī, or Great Compassion Dhāraṇī, (or Mantra)（梵語：Sanskrit - महा करुणा धारनी），全名千手千眼觀世音菩薩廣大圓滿無礙大悲心陀羅尼經大悲神咒，又稱大悲心陀罗尼（Mahā Karuṇā-citta Dhāranī）、千手千眼观音大悲咒（Sahasrabhuja Sahasranetra Avalokiteśvara Mahā Karuṇā Dhāranī）、千手千眼無礙大悲心陀羅尼、無礙大悲陀羅尼、廣大圓滿陀羅尼、滿願陀羅尼、隨心自在陀羅尼、救苦陀羅尼、延壽陀羅尼、滅惡趣陀羅尼、破惡業障陀羅尼、速超十地陀羅尼，有时也称青頸观音大悲咒（梵語 Sanskrit नीलकण्ठ धारनी，转写：Nīlakaṇṭha Dhāraṇī，义爲“青頸陀罗尼”，但有时也指千句大悲咒）；是关乎觀世音菩薩的经典《大悲心陀羅尼經》中的主要部分，汉传共有八十四句，為梵語構成的咒文章句。
The dhāraṇī is thought to have originally been a recitation of names and attributes of Harihara (a composite form of the Hindu gods Vishnu and Shiva; Nīlakaṇṭha 'the blue-necked one' is a title of Shiva) said to have been recited by Avalokiteśvara, who was sometimes portrayed as introducing popular non-Buddhist deities (e.g. Hayagriva, Cundi) into the Buddhist pantheon by reciting their dhāraṇīs. Over time, these deities became considered to be the various forms or incarnations of Avalokiteśvara, who was described in texts such as the Lotus Sutra as manifesting himself in different forms according to the needs of different individuals; the dhāraṇī thus came to be considered as addressed to Avalokiteśvara as Nīlakaṇṭha, now understood to be a manifestation of the bodhisattva. From Nīlakaṇṭha Avalokiteśvara, this particular dhāraṇī eventually became associated with another of Avalokiteśvara's forms, namely the thousand-armed (sahasra-bhuja) one, and became attached to Buddhist texts concerning the thousand-armed Avalokiteśvara.
Different versions of this dhāraṇī, of varying length, exist; the shorter version as transliterated into Chinese characters by Indian monk Bhagavaddharma in the 7th century enjoys a high degree of popularity in East Asian Mahayana Buddhism - especially in Chinese Buddhism - comparable to that of the six-syllable mantra Oṃ maṇi padme hūṃ, which is also synonymous with Avalokiteśvara. It is often used for protection or purification. In Korea, copies of the dhāraṇī are hung inside homes to bring auspiciousness. In Japan, it is especially associated with Zen, being revered and recited in Zen schools such as Sōtō or Rinzai. - refer to wikipedia.: https://en.wikipedia.org/.../N%C4%ABlaka%E1%B9%87%E1%B9...

黃艋舺 The Heart Sūtra (Sanskrit: प्रज्ञापारमिताहृदय Prajñāpāramitāhṛdaya or 心經 Xīnjīng) is an important sutra in Mahāyāna Buddhism. Its Sanskrit title, Prajñāpāramitāhṛdaya, can be translated as "The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom".
A new translation of the great master: Thich Nhat Hanh:
Avalokiteshvara
while practicing deeply with
the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore,
suddenly discovered that
all of the five Skandhas are equally empty,
and with this realization
he overcame all Ill-being.
“Listen Sariputra,
this Body itself is Emptiness
and Emptiness itself is this Body.
This Body is not other than Emptiness
and Emptiness is not other than this Body.
The same is true of Feelings,
Perceptions, Mental Formations,
and Consciousness.
“Listen Sariputra,
all phenomena bear the mark of Emptiness;
their true nature is the nature of
no Birth no Death,
no Being no Non-being,
no Defilement no Purity,
no Increasing no Decreasing.
“That is why in Emptiness,
Body, Feelings, Perceptions,
Mental Formations and Consciousness
are not separate self entities.
The Eighteen Realms of Phenomena
which are the six Sense Organs,
the six Sense Objects,
and the six Consciousnesses
are also not separate self entities.
The Twelve Links of Interdependent Arising
and their Extinction
are also not separate self entities.
Ill-being, the Causes of Ill-being,
the End of Ill-being, the Path,
insight and attainment,
are also not separate self entities.
Whoever can see this
no longer needs anything to attain.
Bodhisattvas who practice
the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
see no more obstacles in their mind,
and because there
are no more obstacles in their mind,
they can overcome all fear,
destroy all wrong perceptions
and realize Perfect Nirvana.
“All Buddhas in the past, present, and future
by practicing
the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
are all capable of attaining
Authentic and Perfect Enlightenment.
“Therefore Sariputra,
it should be known that
the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
is a Great Mantra,
the most illuminating mantra,
the highest mantra,
a mantra beyond compare,
the True Wisdom that has the power
to put an end to all kinds of suffering.
Therefore let us proclaim
a mantra to praise
the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore.
Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha!
Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha!
Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha!”
The thousand-armed Avalokiteśvara: the vows with more than the thousand hands and infinite wisdom to relieve the suffering of all human and non-human beings.
黃艋舺 My dear Odyssean brother Fu was born in autumn of 1947 - the economic-politically turbulent time in Taiwan's history. He passed away on the first day of autumn, 2019. - a unique individual living out more brilliantly than Odysseus (Ulysses) in the epics of Homer - from a collectively, ideologically constrained Far-Eastern society... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fHfp5YlWE0
