Merely by reading this all actions will be successful. Brain sicknesses (headaches), heavy contagious diseases, zombies, and all spirit possessions will be defeated. Merely by remembering this mantra, all of them will let go and will let you go. If you are hungry, you can go into town, recite this seven times, blow on your hand, then wipe your face, and you will find food.

You can recite it over water or face cream and then wash your face with the water or put the cream on your face. If you do this recitation, you will be able to answer when there is an argument, eg when others are talking about your mistakes. If you chant this mantra on flowers or fruit, then whoever you give these to, that person will like you.

Here the mantra of the completion action is completed.

Akashagarbha Mantra for Success
Rinpoche gave the following advice on the use of the Akashagarbha Mantra.

You can wear this mantra all the time, except at nighttime, when it might go under the body, under the arms or shoulders, and this would be negative karma. Otherwise, you can wear it all the time, especially if you are going to speak to someone, requesting something, any important time when you need to be successful. But, of course, just by wearing the mantra, without meditating, extensive realizations and enlightenment won’t happen. From one's own side you have to have good karma, you need good karma. Good karma for success is like a big fund. Merit, good karma, is like the seed for the crops and this mantra is like the water and soil. The mantra helps the good karma, if it is there, to ripen quickly.

One time there was a problem in Malaysia at the Dharma center. When the center bought a new house, they made a deck outside which was against the bedroom window of the neighbor. The neighbor didn’t like this, which was understandable because her privacy was affected, and people could see in her window. So she complained to the government, they came to check, and were told to change the whole thing. So I sent this mantra for all the staff to wear for success.

Another of my students used this mantra for her business activities. There was a lady who always shouting at and criticizing this student. The student asked her secretary to hold this mantra in her hand and then talk to that lady. That day, when the secretary was holding the mantra, the lady completely changed—was gentle, totally different, and more respectful. It was a big surprise for them.

This mantra—the bodhisattva Akashagarbha mantra—has incredible benefits. Not only can you recite it, but you can wear it.

Mantra of one of the 8 Bodhisattvas that is called Akashagrabha: Bodhisattva “Essence of Sky":

OM SOTI KAMBALA SHI VI PULASAMBHVA DHARNA DHATU GO TSAR SOHA*

Difficult Astrological Date
Rinpoche gave the following practice and mantra for when you have to do something on an inauspicious astrological date, astrological configuration, or time.

This is the practice to pacify the shortcomings of time, date, star, and so forth, and to accomplish success. Remember the buddhas and bodhisattvas who are in the direction where you are going. Put your palms together and recite:

I prostrate to the three rare sublime ones (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha).
I prostrate to the tathagata, enemy-destroyer, the owner of the date, star, moment.

TA YA THA / NAGA DRE / NAGAPATI / SARVA TITI MUHURTATI / NAGA DRA NAMA SADUNTE NI BAWENTU SOHA

Recite this three times, then all your works will succeed.
