Good morning everyone today. I'm going to share a true story from the Buddhist
Sutra compassionate flower Buddhist Sutra. In this Sutra clearly documented
why Guan Yin Bodhisattva having a special connection and special ability can attain her Buddhahood
and let's find out today. Back to the previous life of the Guan Yin Bodhisattva, who was rebirthed
as one of the son of Turning Dharma Wheel Holy King. His king father has a thousand sons
including himself. The oldest son is a previous life of the Guan Yin Bodhisattva in this turn of
life his name is Bu Xun. He has a very close relationship with the second brother in his
father's kingdom no being is suffering for anything every being is healthy wealthy
and with a joyful life. In this kingdom, his father has a one mayor Bao Hai, and he is a
very devotee to Buddhist philosophy and always self-cultivate selfless and great compassion
and this mayor always giving a lot of inspiring idea not only to his
father king also to this prince Bu Xun. They were always coaching each other support each other
for the Dharma learning practice. This prince Bu Xun he was in a very young age and one day
he heard there is a one ancient old Buddha name is Precious Treasure Buddha he's coming to this
Holy Dharma Wheel Turning King's kingdom so he told his father king say: "Father I really want to receive in the
teaching from this Precious Treasure buddha can you please to invite him come to the royal palace
I really indeed want to receive a direct instruction from him." So turning Dharma King
say to his son okay since you are willing to receive more teaching from this living Buddha
i definitely will invite him to the palace and giving the teacher not only to all of you
also to our mayor Bao Hai once the king said that the thousand sons are so excited and happy
but the most extremely happy and he cannot sleep for months is the prince Bu Xun
now he has this great chance to have his father to invite Precious Treasure Buddha
coming to the royal family he was preparing this Buddha's arrival day and the night finally this
Precious Treasure Buddha arrived the palace all the citizen thousand sons of the king
they were very happy and peacefully to receiving all the instruction from this Buddha
Once the Precious Treasure Buddha delivered the teaching, he entered to samadhi. Bu Xun prince
was so touched his tears holding in his eyes he immediately standing up in the crowd and make his
initial inspiration to Precious Treasure Buddha and the prince Bu Xun say I as the prince pushing
I sincerely vow not only to the living Buddha you and to all my citizens in the country my
father our mayor ten direction of the being i vow to you my Buddha from now until the day
I attend my enlightenment I attain Buddhahood I will never ever give up any sentient being
in my eyes as long as I can hear they are calling me as long as I can see their suffering
as long as they delivered a message of suffering to me by any form of body
in thousand arms thousand eyes in any form of a variance of the body I will appear in front
of them to set them free from their suffering the suffering from physically challenged the suffering
from mentally hardship the suffering from the hunger suffering from no shelter suffering from
no proper teaching suffering from being lonely as long as all type of suffering you can say
you can image i will liberate their suffering because this is my great compassion and vow
I will continue to practice as a Bodhisattva path to liberate all their suffering
even though I in one day attain Buddhahood I will never give up on any being let my sincere vow
to you my lord Buddha Precious Treasure once the prince pushing make this touching inspiring
vow to Precious Treasure Buddha the living Buddha smile at him to tell the prince of Bu Xun
you will fulfill your wishes and your future name as practicing your Bodhisattva path your name will be Guan Shi Yin,
short form is Guan Yin Bodhisattva. Once the Precious Treasure Buddha said that, all his brother Dharma Wheel Turning
King mayor they were all show their respect to the prince Bu Xun. All of them are so joyful
so happy because they know in their kingdom in their brothers the king's son is going to have
one prince who will attain his Buddhahood in the future. Precious Treasure Buddha
continue saying: "Because this is your initial inspiring vow I will giving you my blessing
and you will fulfill your wish in the future." Once living Buddha Precious Treasure say that
he continued explained, prince Bu Xun is not only well attained his Buddhahood,
he will continue reformed his body as Bodhisattva to deliver retention because that is his wish to
set all being free of the suffering he will manifest his body to delivery his great teaching
that is the vow of the Guan Yin Bodhisattva. Once Precious Treasure Buddha explained that all the
citizens in this kingdom they all bow to the Buddha Precious Treasure. They all showed their
sincerely wishes they want to learn from the prince Bu Xun so this is a past life of a
Guan Yin Bodhisattva and remember I mentioned there's a one male in this kingdom this mayor always giving
an encouraging word for each other supporting them this is a Bao Hai mayor. This Bao Hai mayor also
showed a sincere wish and this mayor actually is a previous life of the Buddha Shakyamuni
under the prince father turning Dharma king he was a previous previous life of Amitabha Buddha
so they all have a past life or Karmic connection that's why they all fulfill their own wishes
to liberate all the sentient beings by their own method Buddha Shakyamuni explained to his disciple
in his past life when he was a practitioner practice the hardship cultivation he already
received the teaching from the Guan Yin Bodhisattva and that time Guan Yin Bodhisattva already attained
Buddhahood attain as a Zheng Fa Ming Ru Lai Buddha Guan Yin Bodhisattva is not in the level
of the Bodhisattva only actually already attained Buddhahood just reform body as a Guan Yin Bodhisattva
Guan Yin Bodhisattva great compassion driven her back to practice cultivation as Bodhisattva
to access to all beings' requests easily and freely. I wish you enjoyed my sharing of today I hope
next time i will have you to join me again for the past life of a Guan Yin Bodhisattva story thank you
