Hymn to Kuan Yin

Hymns to Kuan Yin

Blessed be you, lady of compassion.

Your loving embrace surrounds us all.

Male nor female exists within you.

You, O beautiful one, answer our call,

No matter who or what we are.

Our gratitude to you, blessed one

Who watches over babes and women.

Protect us with your graceful might,

And lead us to stand strong, straight, and tall.

Heart Hard

Dwell within my heart, Kuan Yin

Because I cannot find compassion.

There is no love in me.

Come, teach me mercy and understanding,

I, whose heart is hard, have need of your grace.

Give me vision beyond this mortal frame,

And make me whole of heart, mind, and soul

The disconnection is breaking my heart apart,

And it is empty.
