Music Video: Universal Mother of Compassion: Avalokiteshvara, Guan Yin, Tara; and Guanyin Rescue Song
One of the most commonly asked questions in Buddhism is: “If Guanyin Pusa, or Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, or Mother Tara — who are in essence one nature — can rescue all beings, as promised in the Universal Gate Sutra:
“Why is there still suffering in the world?”
“Why does Avalokiteshvara or Guan Yin or Tara have countless forms and names?”
Video:
We try to answer both of these questions, and much more, in this in-depth look at the Universal Mother Buddha.
We end with a beautiful song by 3 Gems Band, the Guan Yin Rescue Song that celebrates the teachings in the Universal Gate Sutra. @3GemsBand

Buddha’s promise in the Universal Gate Sutra, is that Guan Shi Yin or Avalokiteshvara or Tara can rescue beings who simply uphold the name of the Bodhisattva. Ten fears and dangers are mentioned, one by one, in the Sutra. In the song Guanyin Rescue Song, 3 Gems Band sings of the same fears and dangers in their Sutra-based chant, together with beautiful Namo Guan Shi Yin Pusa chanting.

Námó Guānshìyīn Púsà (Namo Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva)
若人欲加害
熾焰嗔怒起

If there are people who wish to harm you
By heat, anger, fire, or hate
Think only of Guan-Shi-Yin Pusa
Heat, anger, rage, will be cooled
