Great Compassion Mantra was spoken by the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara. Avalokiteśvara is a bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas. This bodhisattva is variably depicted and portrayed in different cultures as either female or male. Avalokiteśvara is one of the more widely revered bodhisattvas in mainstream Mahayana Buddhism,

The Lotus Sūtra is generally accepted to be the earliest literature teaching about the doctrines of Avalokiteśvara. These are found in the Lotus Sūtra chapter 25, The Universal Gateway of Avalokitasvara Bodhisattva (觀世音菩薩普門品). This chapter is devoted to Avalokitasvara, describing him as a compassionate bodhisattva who hears the cries of sentient beings, and who works tirelessly to help those who call upon his name. A total of 33 different manifestations of Avalokitasvara are described, including female manifestations, all to suit the minds of various beings. The chapter consists of both a prose and a verse section. This earliest source often circulates separately as its own sūtra, called the Avalokitasvara Sūtra, and is commonly recited or chanted at Buddhist temples in East Asia.

Master Sheng Yen, founder of Dharma Drum Mountain, dedicated decades of his life to spreading the Buddhadharma globally and guiding Chan practice, sharing Buddhist compassion and wisdom with people around the world. His idea of Protecting the Spiritual Environment has been widely valued and recognized internationally.

Based on the Master's infinite compassionate vows, Dharma Drum Mountain's branch monasteries and practice centers worldwide have been promoting Three-fold Education and Four Kinds of Environmentalism, endeavoring to help purify human minds and society, in hopes of sowing the seeds of world peace through joint efforts to realize the goal of "building a pure land on earth."

大悲咒是觀世音菩薩的咒。觀世音菩薩，名號意思為「觀察世間音聲覺悟有情」。為大乘佛教西方極樂世界教主阿彌陀佛座下的上首菩薩，同大勢至菩薩一起，為阿彌陀佛的左、右脅侍菩薩，並稱「西方三聖」，同時祂也是四大菩薩之一。

佛教的經典上說觀世音菩薩的悲心廣大，世間眾生無論遭遇何種災難，若一心稱念觀世音菩薩聖號，菩薩即時尋聲赴感，使之離苦得樂，故人稱「大慈大悲觀世音菩薩」 ，為佛教中知名度最高的大菩薩，有「家家阿彌陀，戶戶觀世音」的讚譽。

普陀山是觀世音菩薩的道場。傳說觀世音菩薩住此山中，常放光明，表示大悲光明，普門示現，因而得名。

「法鼓」一詞，佛典中有多處提及。所謂「擊大法鼓」，就是敲響佛法淨化心靈的鼓聲，使人心獲得安樂與平靜。由於法鼓山的地理形貌，正猶如一個縱臥的大鼓，故引經典之喻，取其似鼓之形，「法鼓山」之名遂由此而得。
法鼓山山徽整幅圖形的構思，係出自佛陀轉法輪時的手印，名為「說法印」。佛陀以說法為眾生解開心中煩惱，而以此一手印，示意諸般纏縛已獲消解；法鼓山山徽所寄寓的，便是以佛法的精神，傳達對世間的關懷。再者，山徽左側看似山形，代表法鼓山，右側似一僧人打坐，面壁沉思，寧靜攝受；三個山尖的另一個意涵，也象徵著佛法僧三寶，帶給人間智慧的啟迪，慈悲的護佑。
