Great Compassionate Vows and the Merit of Relieving Suffering
Uttered the ultimate 'Great Vow': 'I will not attain Buddhahood until the hells are empty; only when all beings are saved will I realize Bodhi.' Specializes in resolving severe familial karmic debts, past-life obstacles, and the liberation of deceased spirits.
