One of the most commonly asked questions in Buddhism is: “If Guanyin Pusa, or Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, or Mother Tara — who are in essence one nature — can rescue all beings, as promised in the Universal Gate Sutra:
“Why is there still suffering in the world?”
“Why does Avalokiteshvara or Guan Yin or Tara have countless forms and names?”
Video:
We try to answer both of these questions, and much more, in this in-depth look at the Universal Mother Buddha.
We end with a beautiful song by 3 Gems Band, the Guan Yin Rescue Song that celebrates the teachings in the Universal Gate Sutra. @3GemsBand

Buddha’s promise in the Universal Gate Sutra, is that Guan Shi Yin or Avalokiteshvara or Tara can rescue beings who simply uphold the name of the Bodhisattva. Ten fears and dangers are mentioned, one by one, in the Sutra. In the song Guanyin Rescue Song, 3 Gems Band sings of the same fears and dangers in their Sutra-based chant, together with beautiful Namo Guan Shi Yin Pusa chanting.
SONG LYRICS TRANSLATION
Námó Guānshìyīn Púsà (Namo Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva)
若人欲加害
熾焰嗔怒起
但念觀世音
熱惱自清涼
If there are people who wish to harm you
By heat, anger, fire, or hate
Think only of Guan-Shi-Yin Pusa
Heat, anger, rage, will be cooled
南無觀世音菩薩
Námó Guānshìyīn Púsà (Namo Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva)
若漂滄海流
險厄臨其身
一心稱聖號
風浪皆平息
If you are drifting in a great ocean
And facing imminent danger and harm
Think only of Guan-Shi-Yin Pusa
Storms, torrents and all dangers will be calmed
南無觀世音菩薩
Námó Guānshìyīn Púsà
若處絕巔頂

And jealous enemies try to push you

You will not fall and tumble from your heights

南無觀世音菩薩
Námó Guānshìyīn Púsà
若遭大逼迫
悲號命將絕
專念觀世音

If you suffer from great persecutions
You wail and despair of your very life
Think only of Guan-Shi-Yin Pusa
Your tormentors will be shaken and flee
南無觀世音菩薩
Námó Guānshìyīn Púsà
若陷囹圄中
杻械縛身心

and your hands and feet are bound by fetters
Think only of Guan-Shi-Yin Pusa
Chains will fall away and you will be free

No one will be able to torment you
南無觀世音菩薩
Námó Guānshìyīn Púsà
若遭猛獸襲
利爪獠牙逼

If you are surrounded by evil beasts
Snarling with dripping fangs and fearful claws
Think only of Guan-Shi-Yin Pusa
Evil beasts will flee and scamper away
南無觀世音菩薩
Námó Guānshìyīn Púsà
若在戰陣中
刀兵相害時
虔念觀世音
怨仇盡退散
If war around you threatens
Enemies close in and mean you great harm
Think only of Guan-Shi-Yin Pusa
All your enemies will flee and retreat
南無觀世音菩薩
