《大悲懺》，為現今一般通行最廣之懺法。此儀軌為天台宗知禮大師依據《大悲心陀羅尼經》所撰寫。〈大悲咒〉是觀世音菩薩大慈悲心、無上菩提心，為普渡眾生，超凡入聖的重要口訣。「千手千眼觀世音菩薩」所成就的「千手千眼」，源於他的大悲, 一心為眾生拔除纏綿的愛刺，做眾生困厄時的依祐。以善顏做慈航，渡人上岸；以雙手做星月，引人正道。由於菩薩的慈悲力量，使得眾生內在心裡的煩惱以及外在環境的磨難，都因為禮拜《大悲懺》而消除，同時也能讓自他的修持及所發的弘願，都圓滿成就。
The Great Compassion Repentance, the most widely practiced repentance this day, was written by Master Zhi-Li of the Tian-tai School, in accord with the Great Compassion Heart Dharani Sutra’s Great Compassion Mantra—Avalokitesvara (Guan Yin) Bodhisattva’s formula of the great compassion and unsurpassed bodhi mind—which universally delivers all sentient beings from the mundane to the sacred world.
The thousand hands and thousand eyes achieved by Avalokitesvara spring forth from Her great compassion, single-mindedly extracting spikes of lust which entangle beings, and becoming one to rely upon in times of distress. Because of the Bodhisattva’s compassionate strength, internal afflictions and external sufferings may all be eradicated through performing the Great Compassion Repentance. At the same time, vows and cultivation of both oneself and others can be perfected.
