A Commentary on "Daily Mantras"

Holy Name Mantra that Fulfills Wishes

* Recite the homage and mantra together for each recitation:

དེ་བཞིན་གཤེགས་པ་ས་འཛིན་རྒྱལ་པོ་ལ་ཕྱག་འཚལ་ལོ།

DE ZHIN SHEG PA SA DZIN GYÄL PO LA CHHAG TSHÄL LO

   To Tathagata Earth-Holder King, I prostrate.

ཏདྱཐཱ།  ༀ་དྷ་རེ་དྷ་རེ། དྷ་ར་ཎི་བནྡྷེ་སྭཱཧཱ།

TAYATHĀ / OṂ DHARE DHARE / DHARAṆI BÄNDHE SWĀHĀ  (108x, 54x, or 21x)

Whoever memorizes the name of this tathagata and the words of this mantra will have all their wishes fulfilled without exception.

This mantra is found in the Kangyur. You can recite the buddha’s name, Sadzin Gyalpo (Earth-Holder King), and the mantra together for one rosary, for half a rosary, or twenty-one times. Although there are other mantras to achieve success, those who are able to and would like to can recite this one. It is not difficult to recite and even if you recite it just a few times, it will be very helpful.
