The Precious Bell Hand


The pure clean sound is loud and clear everywhere in empty space; It speaks to the deaf, causes the blind to stir, and arouses the dull.  From the Precious Bell Hand come profound and wonderful transformations; On hearing its sound, leave suffering; employ the doctrine of Enlightenment Flower Buddha.
