FAQ
Is this tool free?
Yes — it is completely free to use, with no account or sign-up required.
What is this tool?
The Great Compassion Dharani (신묘장구대다라니 / 大悲呪) lifted out of the Cheonsugyeong as a focused tool for daily repeated chanting. It is a transliterated mantra invoking the great compassion of Avalokiteśvara (Gwaneum), so it is chanted for its sound rather than translated. Press ▶ and it recites line by line, highlighting the current line and auto-scrolling; each full pass adds one to the count and it stops when you reach your goal (7, 21, or 108). Tap +1 to count rounds you chant yourself, and adjust speed, text size, and dark mode. In Japanese it is recited with the Japanese 大悲呪 reading. Everything runs in your browser, so it works offline with no installation.
Why is there no meaning (translation)?
The Great Compassion Dharani is a transliterated mantra, traditionally chanted for its sound rather than translated. So it shows only the reading (and the Japanese 大悲呪 reading), with no Hanja or meaning.
How is the count tracked?
Press ▶ and each full pass of the dharani adds one automatically, stopping at your goal (7, 21, 108). When chanting yourself, use +1 to count and ↺ to reset. The count is saved in this browser.
