The Song of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva


I look to your example, Avalokiteshvara. I aspire to learn your way of listening in order to help relieve the dukkha in the world. You know how to listen in order to understand. I look to your example in order to practice listening with all my attention and openheartedness. I will sit and listen without prejudice. I will sit and listen without judging. I will sit and listen in order to understand. I will sit and listen so attentively that I will be able to hear what the other person is saying and what is being left unsaid. I know just by listening deeply I already alleviate a great deal of pain and stress in the other person.
