Guanyin Bodhisattva Biography: How did the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva come from?

Guanyin Bodhisattva is merciful. It is grateful to hear the voice and save the suffering.

... Zhuge Changqing

Guanyin Bodhisattva is the Dharma Protector Bodhisattva of the Chinese people.

So how did the name of Avalokitesvara come from?

Zhuge Changqing gathers Guanyin Bodhisattva's cultural data to share with those who are destined.

Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, the name of the Buddhist Bodhisattva, is a paraphrase of Avalokitevara in Sanskrit, also translated as "Guangshiyin", a new translation of "Guanshiyin" and "Guanshiyin", transliteration of "Avalokitevara" and "Avalokitevara".

Avalokitesvara and Bodhisattva are the left flank and right retinue of Amitabha, and are known as the "Three Saints of the West".

Buddhism believes that Avalokitesvara is a compassionate Bodhisattva, and that all living creatures in distress should recite his name, "the Bodhisattva immediately observes his voice", and go to save and extricate himself, hence the name. Because the name of Li Shimin, Taizong, was taboo in the Tang Dynasty, the word "Shi" was removed, and it was briefly called "Guanyin".

Zhuge Changqing: Avalokitesvara, when you hear the voice to save the suffering, you will respond to whatever you ask.

With regard to Avalokitesvara, the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is listed in volumes 82 and 100 of the Sutra of Tranquility, Vimalakiri Sutra, Prajna Sutra of Light, Prajna Sutra of Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Prajna Pra. In the Dharma China Sutra, there is a detailed description of this bodhisattva's life-beneficial appearance in the Saha world.

In addition, the third volume of the Sad Hua Sutra, "The Notes of the Bodhisattvas", narrates that Amitabha Buddha's eldest son Bu Xuan, who was in front of the treasure Buddha in his past life when he had no thoughts on the wheel king, made a vow to say that if any living creature suffered all kinds of sufferings and fears, if he could remember me and call my name, that would save him from all kinds of sufferings and worries.

The Treasure Buddha gave him the name Guanshiyin.

Zhuge Changqing: The name of Avalokitesvara is given by the treasure Buddha.

Avalokitesvara is one of the four great bodhisattvas of Chinese Buddhism. According to legend, his birthday is February 19 of the lunar calendar, the day of becoming a Taoist priest is June 19 of the lunar calendar, and the day of Nirvana is September 19 of the lunar calendar. It is said that the Taoist temple is Mount Putuo. The belief in Avalokitesvara has a profound influence in China, resulting in a variety of folk legends about Avalokitesvara, such as the widely circulated saying that Avalokitesvara is the third princess of King Miaozhuang of Xinglin, Princess Miaoshan. The legend of the Goddess of Mercy was first seen in Quwei Old News by Zhu Bian of the Song Dynasty. Later, Guan Daosheng's Biography of Avalokitesvara in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty became a complete biography. Based on this, a large number of Guanyin storybooks, such as "Fragrant Hill Baojuan", "The Complete Biography of Guanyin in the South China Sea" and "The Way of Guanyin", have also appeared.

Don't do any evil, and do all good.

Zhuge Changqing, I wish you success.

观音菩萨大慈大悲，闻声救苦，令人感恩。

……诸葛长青

观世音菩萨，是中国人的护法菩萨。

那么观世音菩萨名号怎么来的呢？

诸葛长青荟萃观世音菩萨文化资料分享有缘者。

观世音菩萨，佛教菩萨名，为梵文Avalokitevara的意译，亦译作“光世音”，新译“观自在”“观世自在”，音译“阿婆卢吉低舍婆罗”“阿缚卢枳多伊湿伐罗”。

观世音菩萨、大势至菩萨，是阿弥陀佛的左胁右侍，并称为“西方三圣”。

佛教认为观世音菩萨为大慈大悲的菩萨，遇难众生只要诵念其名号，“菩萨即时观其音声”，前往拯救解脱，故名。曾因唐代避讳太宗李世民名，去“世”字，略称“观音”。

诸葛长青：观世音菩萨，闻声救苦，有求必应。

关于观世音菩萨，《成具光明定意经》《维摩诘经》《放光般若经》《光赞般若经》《大宝积经》卷八十二及卷一百等处，皆列有此菩萨之名号，然未列本缘等事迹。在《法华经》中设一品详说此菩萨于娑婆世界利生之相。

另外《悲华经》卷三〈诸菩萨本授记品〉叙述了阿弥陀佛过去生中为转轮王无诤念时的长子不眴，出家在宝藏佛前，发愿称，若有众生遭受种种苦恼恐怖，如果他能够忆念我，称念我的名号，即为其免除如此种种痛苦烦恼。

宝藏佛即为他授记并命名观世音。

诸葛长青：观世音菩萨名号，是宝藏佛授记赐名。

观世音菩萨是中国佛教四大菩萨之一。相传其生日是农历二月十九，成道日是农历六月十九，涅槃日是农历九月十九，说法道场是普陀山。观音信仰在中国影响深远，造成民间有种种关于观世音菩萨的传说，如广泛流传的观音为兴林国妙庄王的三公主妙善公主的说法。这种女观音传说，最早可见于宋代朱弁《曲洧旧闻》。其后，宋末元初的管道升着《观世音菩萨传略》成为完整的传记。以此为蓝本，还陆续出现了《香山宝卷》、《南海观音全传》、《观音得道》等一大批观音故事书。

诸恶莫作，众善奉行。

诸葛长青，祝你成功。
