10. Recitation of Chi Fo Mieh Tsui Chen Yan, or Sapta Atitabuddha Karasaniya Dharani in Sanskrit, can help you to eliminate karmic obstacles due to negative karmas; obtain safety and good fortune; experience success in every aspect; and generate merits for the younger generations. Recitation of this mantra can help you to eliminate minor karmic obstacles that you have just generated recently, or have created in your present life. For major karmic obstacles or serious negative karmas generated in your previous lives, it is still necessary to recite the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance to eliminate the karmic obstacles. Therefore the recitation of the Sapta Atitabuddha Karasaniya Dharani cannot completely replace the recitation of the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance.
Recite as needed: For relatively minor negative karmas due to action, speech and mind, you can recite this mantra 21, 27 or 49 times in a lump sum to repent these minor negative karmas.
Prayer: Before reciting this mantra, you can say your prayer or wish as follows, “May the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva protect and bless me, <your full name>, help me to eliminate karmic obstacles due to negative karmas.”
In addition, each day after you have performed your Daily Recitation for a period of time, you can recite this mantra 3 times so that you can become purer and cleaner. At the same time, the minor karmic obstacles that you have just generated recently, or on the day, can be eliminated. In this case, you do not need to include any prayers before you recite this mantra.
