Avalokitesvara to the rescue

One day in 1997, at around 8pm, I got off work and took the evening bus back to the city. There were not many people on the bus, but four drunken young men got on the bus. Each of them held a can of beer in their hands. They were disheveled and obviously drunk. One of the young men saw that I was sitting alone on the seat, so he stumbled and sat next to me, and put his hand casually on the back of my chair. Seeing this, the other three people sat down and surrounded me. At that time, facing this situation, I knew that my situation was extremely unsafe. I was anxious and sternly scolded the young man sitting next to me to put his hands back.

Encountered a gangster and drunkard


As a result, not only did he not listen, he even put his hand on my shoulder and laughed. “I must have met a gangster and a drunkard.” I wanted to change seats, but this person wouldn’t let me out.

Ask the conductor for help


I quickly asked the conductor for help: “Conductor, conductor!” I shouted loudly. The conductor walked over slowly. The young man next to him calmed down a little. He quickly handed over the money and bought 5 tickets. He pointed at me and said, “She is from the same place as us. We all know her.”

Now I was really speechless and hurriedly explained: “I don’t know them. You must not accept their money. I bought my tickets myself.” I rushed to say these words in order to show the conductor. There was a clue that something was wrong so they could save me, but the conductor looked at me as if he was afraid of them, and actually returned to his seat pretending to be nonchalant.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva responds to all requests


In this most critical moment, I know that the only one who can save me is Bodhisattva. I firmly believe that Guanshiyin Bodhisattva will always respond to requests and will provide incredible blessings in times of crisis.

In the lonely and helpless night, I put my hands together and silently recited “Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva…” and prayed to Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless me and help me escape from danger.

Slowly, I gradually became calmer, no longer nervous or afraid, and my heart became one with the Buddha’s name.

Get off drunk


About 15 minutes later, when I was concentrating on reciting the Guanyin name, I suddenly heard the drunk young man sitting next to me shouting: “Driver, driver, stop the car quickly.”

“What’s the matter? It’s so annoying. Now the car is on the highway and there is no stop.” The driver replied impatiently.

“I really can’t hold it in anymore, I really can’t hold it in anymore, stop the car quickly, stop the car quickly, I want to make it easier.” He said with a painful expression.

At this time, several other young men also stood up in panic and shouted: “I can’t hold in my pee anymore, stop the car quickly, we all have to get off!” After the driver made an emergency stop, the four young men rolled and crawled underground. The car disappeared into the night.

Respond to requests


The driver cursed “psycho”, closed the door with a bang, and the car continued to drive quickly. My anxious heart finally calmed down, and the car returned to its usual quiet state. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva’s prayers are answered in thousands of places. I am very grateful for the Bodhisattva’s blessing. It is your power of vows and compassion that help me turn danger into safety. Just as it says in “Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva’s Universal Door”: “All living beings are in trouble and suffer immeasurable pain. Guanyin’s wonderful intelligence can save the suffering in the world…”

I received this blessing in times of crisis, and I am willing to share it with everyone who is destined to do so. When you are in danger and there is no one to help you, you must recite the Holy Name of Guanyin devoutly. As long as you come from the sincerity, you will definitely feel the incredible blessing of the Buddha.
