【Amoghapasa Dharmalakṣaṇa Brief Introduction】

Amoghapasa is white with three faces and four arms. Each face has three eyes. Her first right hand holds a mala and the second, a nectar vase. Her first left hand holds a lotus and the second, a lasso.

【Living Buddha Lian-sheng Sheng-yen Lu Dharma Talk - Amoghapasa Key Cultivation Formula】

Amoghapasa (Bu-kong-juan-suo-guan-yin in Chinese) is one of seven Guanyin in the Guanyin Court and an emanation of Guanyin. She is an extraordinary and magnificent Guanyin in the Garbhadhatu Mandala. Her dharma power is similar to Mahacundi Buddha Mother. The Vajrayana name of Amoghapasa is Equal Deliverance Vajra. Because Amoghasiddhi Buddha is atop her crown, Amoghapasa is a Guanyin of great significance.

Amoghapasa has three faces, each face having three eyes, and four arms. One hand holds a mala. This symbolizes that one will be delivered by reciting her name. One hand holds a lotus. This symbolizes rebirth from a lotus, eradication of calamities, elimination of karmic hindrances, and increase of good fortune. One hand holds a purification vase. This symbolizes that the nectar in the purification vase will immediately eliminate the karmic hindrances of all sentient beings including those in hell, hungry ghosts, and animals. One hand holds a lasso, symbolizing that one's wishes will be fulfilled by being tied up with the lasso. The lasso can also deliver one to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Because some netherworld beings are confused, willfully blind, or have a different agenda, they may be unwilling to be delivered to the pure land. However, if one prays for them to Amoghapasa, she will throw her lasso down, tie them up, and take them to the pure land.

The meaning of ''bu-kong'' (infallible) is that all one's wishes and desires will be fulfilled. Amoghapasa binds whatever one desires with the lasso so that, without exception, all one's wishes and desires will be accomplished. ''Equal Deliverance'' means that without discrimination as to virtuous or evil, good or bad, everyone will be delivered. Anyone who prays to Amoghapasa will receive the spiritual response and attain spiritual union with her.

Her greatest vow is her ''lasso'' and ''infallible.'' Amoghapasa is able to perfectly accomplish the eradication of calamities, enrichment, love and respect, and subjugation. Because her lasso is infallible, Amoghapasa can also be very helpful to those involved in legal proceedings. As one prays to her that one's legal case will proceed smoothly, she will throw out her lasso to tie up the troublemakers or evildoers one is involved with. Since one's opponents are immobilized while one is free, one's legal case will prevail. This is a good thing.

There is a secret cultivation formula for making offerings to Amoghapasa, Guanyin, goddesses, and dakinis. One may offer them foundation, lipstick, eyebrow pencils, mirrors, false eyelashes, loose powder, and rouge. By making these offerings, one can maintain one's own youthful beauty and have longevity. Amoghapasa has this kind of power.

When making offerings to bodhisattvas, one may offer whatever one likes and the bodhisattvas will also like it. When making offerings to gods and deities, one offers whatever the gods and deities like. This is the key cultivation formula for making offerings. By offering in this way, one will attain spiritual union.

The short mantra of Amoghapasa is: ''Om。a-mo-ga。pi-she-ye。hum-pan-zha。'' The syllables ''a-mo-ga'' are the name ''Amoghapasa.''
The Infallible Offering Mantra and the Mantra of Light are transformed from Amoghapasa. They are vast and infallible offerings.

◎Infallible Offering Mantra: ''Om。a-mo-ga。bu-jia。mo-ni。bei-de-ma。wa-ji-la。da-ta-ga-da。wei-luo-ge-de。san-man-da。ben-la-sa-la。hum。'' Reciting this ''secret'' offering mantra just three times is equivalent to making a vast offering. When out traveling on the road, one can recite this mantra three times.

◎Mantra of Light: ''Om。a-mo-ga。huai-lu-jia-na。ma-ha。mu-de-la。ma-ni。ba-de-ma。ji-fa-la。da-ta-ga-da。wei-luo-ge-de。san-man-da。ben-la-fa-er-da-ya。hum。''
The Mantra of Light is the Mahamudra of Infallible Vairocana Buddha. This mantra possesses the brilliant light of the precious lotus. It transforms karmic transgressions and eliminates catastrophes, resulting in attainment of the indestructible bodhi mind.
