Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door (Xin Ling Fa Men) belongs to the Mahayana Buddhist tradition. It encourages people to recite Buddhist scriptures (sutras and mantras) on a daily basis, practise life liberation (that is, saving the lives of beings destined for slaughter), and make great vows to help more people. These three "Golden Practices" lay a solid foundation for improved physical and mental well-being; they have been proved to cure illnesses, resolve relationship conflicts and increase spiritual strength and wisdom.
