The Great Compassion Repentance includes chanting of the “Great Compassion Mantra” multiples of 7 times and executing the rituals within the “Great Compassion Confession” which includes making offerings, confessing, repenting, contemplating, transferring of merits, and seeking three refuges. By taking part in the Great Compassion Repentance, one will benefit not only themselves, but also their families and friends, both living and deceased.
