Lift Us High
Original song to invoke the blessings and support of Gandharvas. Dritirashtra, leader of the Gandharva heavenly musicians, is a worldly guardian of the eastern direction and a protector of the Dharma. “He is said to use his lute to convert all sentient beings to Buddhism, promoting harmony and compassion.”
Gandharvas are said to inhabit the lowest god realms and are known for their musical abilities. They are often depicted as divine musicians and nature spirits. They are known for their musical talents and role as messengers between gods and humans. They embody joy, creativity, and artistic expression. Their music is believed to have the power to soothe minds and inspire harmony.
Great Compassion Mantra
It is said that Avalokiteshvara requested the Buddha to speak and said:
“Bhagavan, I have a mantra of Great-Compassionate Heart Dharani and now wish to
proclaim it, for comforting and pleasing all living beings; for healing all illness; for living
beings to attain additional lifespan; for living beings to gain wealth; for extinguishing all
evil karma and weighty sins; for keeping away from hindrance and disasters; for
producing merits of all White (pure) Dharmas; for maturing all virtuous-roots; for
overcoming all fears; for fulfilling all good wishes. Bhagavan, please be merciful and allow
me to speak.”
You may listen to and recite this while wishing that Avalokiteshvara alleviate the sufferings of living beings and then dedicate the merit! 💗 Ref
