 Most of us are aware that in the Buddha dharma, the merits and virtues of transforming water into Great Compassion Mantra Water, and drinking the Great Compassion Water Mantra are really great.

It can cure 84,000 kinds of diseases in the world. By order of Avalokitesvara, all of the good devas and deva-guardians of the secrets of Vairocana always escort and protect the person who drinks the Great Compassion water. When that person’s life is at the end, he or she can be reborn in any Buddha land that he or she wishes.Grand Master Lu Seattle 2012
  Any disciple of the Triratna (i.e., the Buddha, the dharma, and the sangha) who purifies his speech and sincerely cultivates can transform ordinary water into Great Compassion Mantra Water. This water can then be used himself or herself or offered to others who need it.
  The regular procedure is as follows:
  First, prepare some water, burn incense, and pay homage to Avalokitesvara. Then:
1. Chant the Incense Praise and Purification Mantra.
2. Invoke the Great Merciful, Great Compassionate, Saviour of the Suffering, Saviour of the Disasters, Great Response Avalokitesvara.
3. Chant the Great Compassion Dharani 49 times.
4. Chant the mantra for removal of mistakes and omissions [e.g., Hundred Syllable Mantra].
5. Using the right hand, form the Diamond Finger mudra, point at the water and write the “Hum”syllable.
  By following the above steps, ordinary water is transformed into Great Compassion Water. The virtues and great responses from the Great Compassion Water are well-known to all who practice Buddhism.
  Personally, I have not only the Great Compassion Water, but also the “Jade Pond Golden Mother Mantra Water.” Only I have this Jade Pond Golden Mother Water. Why? Because only I hold the decree from the Jade Pond Golden Mother.
   When I pray for the Jade Pond Golden Mother Water, I use the following procedure:
1. Prepare “Yin/Yang” water — half hot water, half cold water, mixed together.
2. Burn incense, pay homage to Golden Mother, and chant the Purification Mantra.
3. Invoke the Great Heavenly Most Supreme Jade Pond Golden Mother.
(Visualize Golden Mother, with the majestic Phoenix crown, her left hand holding the celestial peach (or the jade wand), her right hand holding the heavenly duster.)
4. Chant the Golden Mother mantra 108 times.
5. Using the right hand, form the Diamond Finger mudra, point at the water and write the “Hum”syllable.G-05-02
  By following the above procedure, you will have Golden Mother Mantra Water.
  I tell you very honestly that [when I prepare the Golden Mother Mantra water,] I can see the Jade Pond Golden Mother coming. Usually, I see Golden Mother emitting radiant light to bless the mantra water, or I see Jade Pond Golden Mother shrinking to a very small size and entering the mantra water. In the mantra water, Golden Mother’s entire body emits a purifying light, imbuing the water with a dazzling radiance.
  Only when I see:
1. Golden Mother emitting the radiant light to bless the mantra water, or
2. the mantra water becomes dazzlingly radiant (Golden Mother enters the water)
  [I know that] the mantra water will bring a great response.
  There was a man who had been mute since birth. Everyone in his village knew that he couldn’t speak. After drinking some of my Jade Pond Golden Mother Mantra water, however, he could suddenly make sounds, like a baby first learning to talk. He could speak! Everyone in his village witnessed this miracle and consequently the whole village, young and old, took refuge in me.
  There was a man who was blind. He had been to countless doctors who had tried to find a cure for him, but without any success. He drank the Jade Pond Golden Mother Mantra water and the next morning when he awoke, he discovered that he could see the window curtains! He was so thrilled that he shouted and screamed and yelled with joy. His whole family was moved very much. They all took refuge.
  There was a man in a coma. He had been lying on a bed in a coma for five years. His family had come to believe that there was no hope for him. But after he was given some Jade Pond Golden Mother Mantra water, the comatose man unexpectedly woke up! He was able to get out of bed and walk! The doctors and nurses who witnessed this incredible miracle all took refuge.
  There was a man confined to a wheelchairG-05-05. He had once asked a Mr. Lin, a very well-known spiritual healer, to empower him with his “chi” energy. After the healer had empowered him many times, the man in the wheelchair almost lost his own chi. Eventually, Mr. Lin also couldn’t help him. After trying all of this, the man in the wheelchair asked for some Jade Pond Golden Mother Mantra water. After drinking it, he was suddenly able to get up from his wheelchair and stand. Look at that! Is that some miracle!
  There was a man with a serious skin disease. All of the skin on his body was covered with ulcers and had a stench that was unbearable. After drinking only a small glass of the Jade Pond Golden Mother Mantra water, his skin dried up, leaving only scars. Then the scars fell off, revealing white and tender new skin. And now his whole body had a pleasant smell, like he had been reborn.
  There was a man with stomach cancer. His doctor had told him that he only had three months to live. But after drinking the Jade Pond Golden Mother Mantra water, his stomach cancer disappeared. This man is still alive and well, six years later!
  A man was dying. All around him, he could see ghosts. The dying man shouted, “TG-05-04he ghosts are coming!” I gave him the Jade Pond Golden Mother Mantra water to drink. The ghosts immediately withdrew and a bodhisattva appeared instead. He followed the bodhisattva to a rebirth.
  Here I would like to send some words to all of my holy disciples:
Why don’t you cultivate the “Great Compassion Mantra Water” dharma?
Why don’t you cultivate the “Jade Pond Golden Mother Mantra Water” dharma?
You can deliver yourself and deliver others.
You can save people, save the world.
You can bring great benefit to the human beings and the heavenly beings.
What a miracle! Incredible!
