Guan-Yin is a figure in Buddhism who is said to have more responses than any other figure.
We can rely on her whenever we need any assistance - prayers are efficacious when our hearts and minds are whole-heartedly compassionate.
Rev. Heng Sure sings "She Carries Me" by Jennifer Berezan and tells the story of Gwan Yin Bodhisattva at Teance on 10/28/2014 for a "Tea and Dharma" gathering, a Berkeley Buddhist Monastery community outreach event.
She Carries Me
Melody and Lyric by Jennifer Berezan
She is a boat, she is a light
High on a hill in dark of night
She is a wave, she is the deep
She is the dark where angels sleep
When all is still and peace abides
She carries me to the other side,
She carries me to the other side...
And though I walk through valleys deep
And shadows chase me in my sleep
On rocky cliffs I stand alone
I have no name, I have no home
With broken wings I reach to fly
She carries me to the other side,
She carries me to the other side...
A thousand arms, a thousand eyes
A thousand ears to hear my cries
She is the gate, she is the door
She leads me through and back once more
When day has dawned and death is nigh
She'll carry me to the other side,
She carries me to the other side...
