From Subahuh Sutra, Full Enlightenment Sutra
(Susiddhikara-mahatantra-sadhanopayika-patala): “To pray for
highest achievement, one must not use Dharani to help the Atulas
forbid the worms and snakes from curing illnesses. Doing this
hinders high achievement. One should carefully follow Buddha's
instructions. However, if the person has true compassion of a
Bodhisattva, it will not hinder his attainment”.
From the Amogha-pasa Sutra (the name of a Bodhisattva i n
the Garbhakhosa Mandala): To perform exorcism, one must
purify bad karmas and have enough compassion. This is usually
the work of a Bodhisattva.
From Sitatapatra (white canopy that shades all) Sutra: I f
one is unable to get rid of his long standing greediness, he must
devotedly recite the Dharani of Buddha. The power of Dharani
has ended Matanga's long-standing love relationship for Ananda,
allowing him to attain the Arhat rank. For this courtesan who
never cultivated the way, the power of Dharani helped her attain
the Position of Completed Study (4th rank of sagehood in the
Sutra system). So much more could be done for the person who
fervently wished for enlightenment.
From Great Compassion Dharani Sutra: “The fire of lust
will be extinguished and evil intention eliminated”.
From Essay on Wish Fulfilling Sutra: “The Dharani
practitioner was given more intelligence and blessings. His words
are trusted. One can freely use one's material wealth in 50
yohanas (1 yohana= 100 years), and earn respect from humans,
Devas and Demons. One understands all philosophies, essays,
treatises and books of this world naturally. One never forgets
anything and can memorize up to a thousand invocations in a
day.
