1.1

大悲啟請（准經凡欲受持。先志心念阿彌陀佛三遍緣。阿彌陀佛是觀音本師矣）。

Invocation of the Greatly Compassionate One (According to the sūtra, whenever one wishes to accept and uphold [this dhāraṇī], one should first sincerely recite the name of Amitābha Buddha three times, because Amitābha Buddha is Avalokiteśvara's original teacher).
