  Hey all.. Im currently learning how to recite the Great Compassion Mantra accurately.. but find it hard as I'm not sure if some of the pronounciations that I make while chanting it is correct.

  I've searched online for videos but they are all abit too fast-paced to catch the exact pronounciation, does anyone here have a good recommendation of a 'learning guide of Great Compassion Mantra'? Best is if its slow version.

  Ur help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

  Pray to Goddess of Mercy for help. I remembered last time when I had difficulties in reciting the Great Compassion Mantra, I pray to Goddess of Mercy for help. Now, I can recite it without looking at the book. I could really feel that Goddess of Mercy was helping me then, I could recite it without much difficulties within short period of time. This method was taught by the elderly Buddhists. They are uneducated, they said whenever they have difficulties in reciting any sutra, they will ask Goddess of Mercy for help and it works !

  Following are videos with slower pace. Some pronounciations may have slight differ but I understand that it is ok, need not to be exact.

  Hey Middleway 87

  Is good to see that you keen to learn to chant this mantra. It took me a long time to pick this up due to the pronouciation and etc. A few months of ago when I was having dinner outside a Chinese temple. I heard this mantra CD being play inside the temple. That evening, I tried to recitate incorporate it into my personal evening gongyo together with Namu Myo Ho Renge Kyo chanting and I just got it going there and then. In the past, I tried but my slow witted mind just can't get it through therefore I will stick to the heart sutra which was the first sutra I memorised.

  Therefore, my friend don't give up, keep trying, don't be shy,  all thing is possible because we have the Buddha seed within our life. It can bloom with wisdom and compassionate only if we allow it to. My personal view is even chanting in a peaceful and melodic way is a manifestation of this blooming process.  

  Alrite enjoy this evening chant in a taiwan temple.....
