VAJRA BODHI SEA

January, 1979 Mahayana 3004

Volume IX - Series 21 - NO.104

Di Li Shai Ni Nwo

      Crowned by recitation beads made from human skulls, she holds in hand an iron spear for day and night patrol. Rousing living beings awake she has them practice good. So in the boundless sea of pain not one creature drowns.
