15 th lunar days, recite the Dharani. When 300,000 recitations
were reached, one should not eat one day and one night and
should increase one's offerings. At the end of the night, Vajrapani
Bodhisattva will come and take him to the palace and show him
the door of Asura’s cave. He will enter the cave where he obtains
the holy elixir of Heaven. He will live as long as the sun and the
moon.
Another magic: Walk around the precious stupa that came
from heaven at San Dao Bao Jie (Three Precious Steps) and beg
for food. It is said that the steps are made of gold, silver and
lapis lazuli and that Buddha stepped on them as he came down to
this world. Recite the Dharani one hundred billions times.
Bodhisattva Ajitasena will appear and teach him the wonderful
doctrines, and show him the way of superior enlightenment. The
goddess mother Avalokistesvara will bring him into her palace
and give him a longevity potion, which will rejuvenate him and
enable him to become a righteous person, someone worthy of
celebration. Furthermore, he will receive hidden treasure; he will
become a great man; his work will largely benefit the Triple
Jewels; all the Bodhisattvas will comfort him and show him the
right Dharma to attain full enlightenment.
Another magic: for a person who does not have good root
or the seed of awakening, and does not even cultivate the virtue
leading to awakening, just one recitation will produce the seed of
awakening and will improve with constant recitation.
