A Buddhist scripture in the style of Sanskrit hymns, translated by the Song Dynasty sutra translator Dharmabhadra under imperial decree. This sutra, composed in verse form, extols the supreme merits and compassionate spiritual power of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva (Guanyin), encompassing his wisdom, vow to save sentient beings, and manifold manifestations. As an important liturgical text of Esoteric Buddhism, it reflects the achievements of Sanskrit Buddhist canon translation during the Song Dynasty, providing crucial evidence for the study of Avalokiteśvara devotion and Esoteric Buddhist rituals. It holds a revered religious status and serves as a guide for practice within the Avalokiteśvara methods of Chinese Buddhism.
