Compassion Mantra, then when they approach the end of life, all the
Buddhas of the ten directions will come to take them by the hand to
rebirth in whatever Buddhaland they wish, according to their
desire.

mantra of Great Compassion fall into the three evil paths, I vow
not to realise the right enlightenment. Should any living being who
recites and holds the spiritual mantra of Great Compassion not be
reborn in any Buddhaland, I vow not to realise the right
enlightenment. Should any living being who recites and holds the
spiritual mantra of Great Compassion not obtain unlimited samadhis

any living being who recites and holds the spiritual mantra of
Great Compassion not obtain the fruits of whatever is sought in
this very life, then he cannot have been making proper use of the
Dharani of the Great Compassion Heart.

kinds of bad death.
