The Great Compassion Mantra is a powerful mantra created by Mahayana Buddhists. This Mantra is said to have the power to liberate all sentient creatures from the Hell of Suffering, delivering them from Ignorance. These Prayers of the Great Mantra are presented here in all their facets, for like a cut gem they have many faces. In their gradual levels they can carry those with no knowledge of the way to the very portal that leads to the path of Awakening. The Prayer Book is such a gradual process, but when the Great Mantra is understood and internalized, it can suddenly carry one to the depths of real understanding, from where he or she can advance to the Hand and Eye contemplations of the Great Mantra.
