Guanyin / Avalokiteśvara
Question: Why does Master exhort people chant Avalokiteśvara?
Master Hsuan-Hua answers:
Because in the Sad-dharma-vipralopa, the Māra is strong and the Dharma is weak. Avalokiteśvara has a great vow to save all sentient beings with compassion.
Sad-dharma-vipralopa
Definition:
The last of the three periods; that of degeneration and extinction of the Buddha-Dharma.
