HOW TO PRAY TO GUAN YIN BODHISATTVA TO ELIMINATE THOUGHTS RELATING TO SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
Caller: Is there a way to pray to Guan Yin Bodhisattva to help me eliminate the thoughts relating to sexual misconduct? How do I state my prayer?
Master Jun Hong Lu: ”May the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva protect and bless me, <your full name>, I am just a common mortal and I hereby pray that my thoughts relating to sexual misconduct can be eradicated.”
Just say it like this. It is perfectly normal as far as Bodhisattva is concerned, you are the one who thinks otherwise. So, you should just go ahead and tell Bodhisattva.
It is just like talking to your own mother, what’s there to be embarrassed about? Guan Yin Bodhisattva is our heavenly mother. You can tell Her anything.
However, at that moment when you are saying your prayers, your mind must be pure, free of any unwholesome thoughts. Otherwise, it is a major transgression! You will get yourself in trouble with the Dharma Protectors. Can you understand?
Caller: I understand. Master, can I make the same prayer request when reciting the Heart Sutra? “May Bodhisattva help me eliminate my lustful thoughts”?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Yes you may. Humans are generally impure and Bodhisattvas are aware that they are susceptible to the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures. Being in the evil world of five turbidities make it even more difficult for them to be purified.
As long as you make it clear to Bodhisattva, “I hope to eliminate my inclination to commit sexual misconduct in this evil world of five turbidities. May Guan Yin Bodhisattva have mercy on me. Please help and bless me so that I can resist these human desires.” It is alright for you to say all these.
