Offering Cloud Mantra
Offering Cloud Mantra
FIRST, the minute you remember this mantra, you gain the benefit of having made offering to all the Buddhas
abiding in the ten directions, equaling the number of the atoms of the sand grains of the Pacific Ocean.
SECOND, you get the benefit of having prostrated to the holy feet of all those Buddhas.
THIRD, you receive the benefit of having made offering of flowers, incense, garlands of flowers, ornaments,
ointments, Dharma robes, umbrellas, banners, flags, animals, sitting cloths, divine dress, food, various
ornaments and so forth to all the Buddhas abiding in the ten directions (as above).
SIXTH, you will see all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and they will give you breath.
SEVENTH, you will be protected by nagas, devas, njin, smell-eaters, asuras, garudas, myemchi, dorje chenpo,
Vajrapani the Owner of the Secrecy, and the Four Guardians. They will always follow you perfectly, protect you
and guide you. If others try to inflict harm, they will hide you from that.
EIGHTH, when you die, your consciousness will transfer from this world to Amitabha Buddhas pure land, the
Blissful Realm.
You receive all these qualities and benefits just by remembering this mantra once, without any need to do retreat.
