After many years searching, in 1989 when around 1,000 devotees gathered together to chant the Great Compassion Dharani 21 times, their prayer was answered and the land granted, thanks to Guanyin Bodhisattva’s spiritual response. As a child, Master Sheng Yen had made a vow to the Bodhisattva, which is to make a big and beautiful Guanyin statue for people to worship. Now the vow was fulfilled, and the Dharma Drum Mountain World Center for Buddhist Education, a practice center dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, resembles the moon reflecting in the river, with illuminating light guiding people to emulate, and act like Guanyin Bodhisattva.
