Full Public Domain Translation of Avalokitesvara Hymn From Lotus Sutra Chp 25 Part 2

The manifold states of woe, the hells, ghosts realms and Beastly domains, the suffering of birth, old age, illness, and Death shall all recede. Heeding purity and truth, heeding the Vast body of wisdom, heeding benevolence and compassion, May all forever admire him with resolve and praise. Radiance pure and unblemished, like sagacious solar rays Dispelling the darkness, able to tame all disasters from wind to Fire, and illume without bounds the whole universe. He is The body of benevolence, with thundering virtue, pouring forth The ambrosia of truth to extinguish the embers of anguish. If you are mired in prosecutions or caught in the throes of Battle, abide in Avalokitesvara and all enmity shall vanish. The Wondrous sounds of Avalokitesvara, so pure like Serene waves, peerless in this world, who could afford Not to keep his name? Cherishing each chant with true faith, The pure and sagely Avalokitesvara is your rock in times of Pain and peril. Replete with merit and eyes of benevolence, Blessings boundless like the ocean, worthy of reverence!”
