This is a wonderful rendition of the third Great Compassion Mantra as found in the Chinese tradition with some beautiful images compiled by Michiko. The video seems to have been uploaded with the victims of the Japanese Tsunami in mind, and we all remember the people swept away unawares on that dreadful April morning – hoping that they have all found a good rebirth and can make further progress through this fearful sa?sara.
As far as I have been able to find out this is the actual mantra that is being chanted:
namo ratnatrayāya ǀ
namaḥ āryajñānasāgara vairocanavyūha rājāya tathāgatāya arhate samyaksambuddhāya ǀ
namaḥ sarvatathāgatebhyaḥ arhatebhyaḥ samyaksaṁbuddhebhyaḥ ǀ
namaḥ āryāvalokiteśvarāya bodhisattvāya mahāsattvāya mahākāruṇikāya tadyathā ǀ
oṁ dhara dhara dhiri dhiri dhuru dhuru itte vatte cale cale pracale pracale kusume kusume vare ili mili citijvālam āpanāye svāhā ǁ
