The ceremony in Shaolin Temple London

Shaolin Rainer: Hello, we are in the Shaolin
Temple London, and we just do a Buddhist ceremony by a Buddhist
nun, and I want her to introduce herself so you can hear about
her.

Renryu Dhammavihari: Hello, my name is Renryu,
this is my Dharma name, I am a Buddhist nun from China, I am also
a PHD student of religious studies in the UK. At the moment I
come to Shaolin Temple (London) every week, every Saturday
afternoon, we have a group activity here, we just do meditation
together, and then have a group discussion about some Buddhist
teachings and then we do group chanting for spiritual health, I
like here and I enjoy this experience with all this Shaolin
friends.

Shaolin Rainer: Please can you explain about the
item of chanting, what is the chanting about?

Renryu Dhammavihari: Actually we chant about the
Sutra about Guan Yin Possa, do you know Guan Yin
Possa?

Shaolin Rainer: Yes, I do.

Renryu Dhammavihari:
Avalokiteśvara as well, the great compassion
Bodhisattva, he is the very popular Bodhisattva in Chinese
Buddhist culture, and we Chinese people usually like to pray to
the Guan Yin Bodhisattva for blessings, so we
just chant to the Sutra and hope the Guan Yin
Bodhisattva can bless us.

Shaolin Rainer: And what is exactly the words,
can you translate some to English?

Renryu Dhammavihari: The words, the Chinese
content?

Shaolin Rainer: Yes.
