From The Brilliant Buddha's Crown, Great White Canopy
of Light, Unsurpassed Spiritual Samadhi Dharani: “If the
practitioner of the Dharani does not have any merits, the Buddhas
of the ten directions will give him their own”. On the other hand,
“If a good man faithfully recites the Dharani but remains a stupid
person, then the Buddhas of the ten directions have lied.”
It is also said: Perseverance and intelligence will be
granted to one who is so lacking. Just as the medicinal herb of
this world can add to mental energy without sleep or rest, it is not
impossible for Dharani to add to one’s intelligence.
From Amogha-pasa Dharani Heart Sutra: If anyone is
fasting and observes the precepts, and focuses strictly on the
reciting Dharani seven times 108, without mixing with any
common words, they will surely have the 20 ultimate benefits
listed below:
- The person does not get sick, he feels secure and
happy. - Even when sickness arises due to previous karma,
healing will be fast. - The person has a beautiful body constitution, and good
complexion. - The person earns love and respect from everyone.
- The person has invisible protection for the five senses
(Sight, hearing, smell, touch & taste) - Abundance of material wealth that one uses at will.
- The person's wealth is safeguarded and will not be
seized upon by the king or lost through natural
disasters.
