Years ago I was searching for wealth mantras. You have no idea what treasure you are about to find. In fact, most people who know me or read my articles are quite spoiled, in a way, having open access to a very large number of extremely precious mantras. I am laughing now, because this is how it should be. This is natural. Resources flowing freely, beings having the opportunity to practice mantra and cultivate spiritually, grow in all ways and develop their potential. Changing the world, little by little, or a lot by a lot, depending on how their samadhi flows. But when I first realized I needed wealth mantras, years ago, they weren’t easy to come by. This is bad karma world, and many mantras are changed over time, corrupted, and appear in quite a bad state nowadays, or are not given openly, or both.
Or beings simply don’t have the karma to find them, to receive them, to practice them, to understand them, to gain samadhi with them. And that is most unfortunate, because a wealth mantra can change your karma so powerfully, and allow you to help others and enjoy the world to its fullest, in the way only the heart and its deep samadhis know how to enjoy. So enough talk, and on to the mantras. Wealth mantras can be notoriously
difficult to practice, which is why in this text you’ll find the wealth mantras that do not represent Yaksas, or other wrathful powerful beings, but rather purifying wealth mantras, or the wealth mantras of female Buddhas.
As Spoken By Kasyapa Buddha. A supremely relaxing and beneficial dharani , solving one of mankind’s most deeply held survival needs, and one of the most inherently stressful and destructive lacks. Recite it for all beings, concentrate with it and extend your samadhi freely to touch all beings. Namah Sarva Buddhanam Apratihata Sasananam Tadyatha Om Gagane Gaganaganje Anaya Sarvam Lahulahu Samayamanusmara Akarsani Ma Vilamba Yathepstam Me Sampadaya Svaha.
The Mantra for Dispersing Calamities and Bringing Auspicious Good Will Recite this mantra 108 times to make all disasters dissappear and bring auspiciousness. If an unexpected situation strikes, this mantra will handle it. Conflicts and negative relationships, the past coming back to haunt you, lawsuits, financial loss, illness, fights, nightmares, this mantra burns them all and brings light and auspiciousness.

Great accumulation of positive karma, virtue and merit, eliminates obstacles and negative karma, and can be recited for other beings as well. One traditional practice is to recite it for an unborn child or a child under 5 years of age, to change his destiny and eliminate calamities. A powerful mantra that can greatly help those who have little merit.

Ratna means Jewel, and these are the wealth practices that fully accomplish the Jewel, and equalize space and earth, removing all karma of inequality, wrong deeds, lack of giving, lack of wealth and Jewel presence, the perfect relaxed and naturally brilliant presence of merit, and the natural Jewel wealth which equalizes everything.
A powerful dharani that taps into the great equal wealth energy of Ratna. This dharani can erase all issues and bring perfect auspiciousness.

Ratna-siddhi is the Bodhisattva of Ratna family, so these are the accomplishment mantras that have all the powers (siddhis) of Ratna.

Victorious dharani, with great authority and virtue. It led to the Buddha’s Nirvana, and can lead anyone to enlightenment. Subdues demons, purifies bad karma and obstacles, accomplishes the paramitas (virtues). All sins and
bad deeds are purified, injuries from weapons are prevented, poison and fire and water do no harm, robbers and demons, epidemics and illness, and all suffering in general, they are all rendered harmless. Precipices, earthquakes, hurricanes, black magic, untimely death, war, execution, all are rendered harmles. All wishes are fulfilled, great purification is achieved and rebirth in a Pure Land is assured. The qualities imparted by this dharani are endless. It gives beauty, an enchanting voice, great powerful concentration, the ability to perform works of deep compassion, uninterruptible activity without obstacles, complete purification of all karma, immense entourage and pervasive inexhaustible enjoyments, long life, ability to understand and appreciate the Sutras, ability and wish to make offerings to all Buddhas, one becomes a Bodhisattva, and one gains completion of all wishes. If this dharani is written on a piece of paper, on a wall or a house, a shield or clothing, and so on, any one who sees the dharani, or hears it being recited, or sees someone carrying it, they are liberated. If you carry it and recite it continuously (inner concentration with the dharani), then you naturally liberate everything you see. Even insects and birds and all animals, whatever you see and touch is liberated. This is a sovereign dharani that gives power, authority and influence through great karma, generates wealth and improves all social karma. To bring it into your home, simply frame it and hang it on a wall. There are three mantras in the original text, only the third one is known and practiced nowadays. 1)NAMA Ḥ SARVA TATH Ā GATEBHYO ME TIṢṬ ATI DA Ś A DIŚE OṂ MA ṆI VAJRA HṚDAYA VAJRE M Ā RA SAINYA VIDR Ā PALO HANA VAJRA-GARBHA TR Ā SAYA TR ĀSAYA SARVA MĀRA BHAVANĀNI HŪṂ HŪṂ SA ṂDHARA SA ṂDHARA BUDDH Ā MAITR Ī SARVA TATH Ā GATA VAJRA-GARBHA ADHIṢṬITE SV Ā H Ā

Amoghapasha is the wealth form of Avalokiteshvara, the union of heart compassion and powerful activity that magnetizes and purifies, enlightens and perfects, inherits the goodness, auspiciousness and wealth of the entire universe, and leads all beings with liberating flows of love, peace and good conditions for all. Those who practice Amoghapasha protect all beings, generate great auspiciousness through Bodhicitta, liberate through accomplishment and wish-fulfillment, eliminate all karmic obstacles through the inherent nectar of Buddha nature, remove all poison, eradicate disasters and subjugate all wrong authority (trouble and evil, lawsuits and conflict), and bring powerful love and harmony in all situations.
Evam Maya Shrutam-ekasmim Samaye Bhagavan was dwelling on the summit of Potalaka Mountain adorned with jeweled trees, in the palace of Arya Avalokiteshvara together with 1800 Arya bhikshu Sanghas and more that one billion Bodhisattvas and shuddhavasadevas. He was giving discourses to all of them. Then the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara rose from his seat and prostrated to Bhagavan kneeling on the ground baring his right shoulder, with folded hands and he requested thus;
“Bhagavan! I have a Dharani called Amoghapashahrdaya which I received from Lokendraraja Tathagata ninety-one kalpa ago in the Lokaavalokanadhatu. The special feature of this dharani is that it purifies those evils of wrong doings of slandering arya Bhikshu Sanghas, to Pratyeka Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Buddhas which are the cause of falling into durgati such as Avici. The shodhana becomes effective if someone after confessing
one’s down-falls observes amoghapashoposhadhavrata holding eight shila and recites this dharani many times. Those who’ve recited this dharani seven times correctly in the eighth day of lunar calendar will receive twenty meritorious qualities. They are as follows: 1. He will be free from any type of diseases. 2. Even if the disease appears out of Karmic causes it will disappear very soon. 3. He will be popular or liked by all. 4. His indriya will be secret. 5. He will gain much property and possessions. 6. His property will not be stolen by thieves. 7. Not be affected by fire. 8. Not be affected by water. 9. Cannot be confiscated by the king or government. 10. All his actions will be complete. 11.Free from the fears of water, within his person. 12. Pacifies all disturbances. 13. His personality will not diminish. 14. Free from the fear of Dakini. 15. Afflictions will not increase. 16. He will not die due to weapons, fire or water. 17. The deva will take care of his person or protect him. 18. He will have maitri, karuna 19. mudita and 20. upeskha wherever he is born.
Besides this, he will also receive eight further qualities. They are as follows: 1. When he will die he will be received by Avalokiteshvara in monk’s form and 2. He will die comfortably 3. His arms and legs will not vibrate; also, he will not have wrong views. 4. His body will not produce vish and mutra. 5. No aerial trouble. 6. He is endowed with awareness and alertness. 7. No decrease in memory. 8. He will not die with his face downward. 9. He will not die with heavy affliction. 10. He will be born wherever he aspired to be borne, and 11.associate with kalyanamitras. One should recite it three times refraining from bad foods such as meat, liquor, onions and garlic. One should try his best to propagate and disseminate this Dharani liberally as far as possible. One should be free from miserliness and jealousy. He will be a bodhisattva when he performs this recitation for the cause of all beings. Bhagavan! if you permit me to transmit his Dharani I will present it in the presence of Tathagata in this gathering of Sangha composed of Bhikshus, Bhikshunis, Upasakas and Upasikas for the sake of all the sentient beings. Then Bhagavan spoke thus: Pure Being ! It is time for you to disseminate your Amoghapasha Dharani. I appreciate you, please speak it, it will satisfy all the bodhisattvas of three divisions of time. Then the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, generating his mahakaruna for all sentient beings, recited Amoghapasha Hrdaya Dharani thus:
Amoghapasa heart-dharani:
Om Amoghapadmapāśa Krodhakarṣaya Praveśaya Mahapaśupati Yamav āruṇa Kuvera Brahmaveṣadhara Padmakulasamayan H ūṃ Hūṃ Phat. Short mantra:
Om Amogha Vijaya Hūṃ Phat ….
Infallible Mani Offering Mantra. This is the secret offering mantra. Reciting this mantra 3 times is equivalent to making a great offering: Om Amogha Puja Mani Padma Vajre Tathagata Vilokite Samanta Prasara Hum Heart of Amogapasha Mantra —“Mantra that Makes Morality Pure”: Om Amogha Śīla Sambhara / Bhara Bhara / Maha Śuddha Sattva Padma Vibhūṣita Bhuja / Dhara Dhara / Samanta / Avalokite H ūṃ Phat Sv āhā

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, e.g. 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.”
(The Mantra of the Virtuous Goddess) With this mantra, one will not be distracted by outside conditions. One can also attain the Golden Light samadhi. With this samadhi, there is abundace of shells, gold, jewels, wealth, grain, medicine, healing substances, tools, provisions and all necessities, with ease and happiness.

HOMAGE TO ALL BUDDHAS AND BODHISATTVAS! Thus have I heard: at one time, the Transcendent and Accomplished Conqueror was abiding in Sukhavati, the Land of Bliss. Then, the Bodhisattva Mahasattva, the Noble Lord Avalokiteshvara, went to the place where the Blessed One was, and having gone there, fully prostrated at the feet of the Transcendent and Accomplished Conqueror, and, circumambulating the Transcendent and Accomplished Conqueror three times, sat down to one side. Then, the Transcendent and Accomplished Conqueror gazed at MahaLakshmi, and spoke the following words to the Noble Lord Avalokiteshvara:
“If any monk, nun, layman, laywoman, or anyone else comes to know, keep, read, write out, or have others write out the Twelve Names of Maha-
Lakshmi, then their poverty will be eliminated, and they will become rich. “ Then, all the gathered assemblies prayed deeply, saying, “May it be so!”
Then, the Transcendent and Accomplished Conqueror uttered the Twelve Names of Maha-Lakshmi: She Who Is Imbued with Glory She Who Is Enveloped in Splendor Holder of a Rosary of Lotuses Sovereign Lady of Wealth She Who Is White She of Great Renown Lotus Eye She Who Is Efficacious She of Great Light She Who Gives Food She Who Wholeheartedly Gives Precious Gems She of Great Resplendence (The mantra)
SYĀDYATHEDANA/ JINI GRINI/ SARVA ARTHA SADHANI/ SHASHINA ALAKSHI MANA/
NĀSHAYA SIDDHANATU MANTRA PADAI SVĀHĀ/ OM VIGUNI PARAMA SUBHAGE SVĀHĀ If anyone recites this during the three times of the day, then they will be victorious over all unpleasant circumstances. They will be endowed with excellent fortune. They will never run out of wealth. Furthermore, everyone will perceive them as being like their own children, will be delighted by them, and will act exactly in accordance with their bidding. If anyone always reads this out-loud consistently, then one will never come to harm, even if Brahma commits wrathful actions, and will moreover come
to serve under many Buddhas!”
The Transcendent and Accomplished Conqueror gave that teaching, and the Bodhisattva Mahasattva, the Noble Lord Avalokiteshvara rejoiced, and
deeply praised what had been spoken by the Bhagavan, the Transcendent and Accomplished Conqueror. THE MAHA-LAKSHMI SUTRA IS COMPLETE.
Vasudhara is the primordial wealth mother, the great holder and giver of all possible treasures in all realms, kind and powerful like a never-ending stream of gems that gushes forth from the heart and the eyes and replenishes all directions, vast landscapes of mind, with the subtle glow of inner diamonds more numerous than all atoms.

Homage to all buddhas and bodhisattvas. This I have heard. At one time the Bhagavan was on Supreme Mountain, in the Stack of Auspiciousness palace, dwelling in the grove of flowers under a canopy of stacked vajras, upon a throne of piled jewels, upon a seat of lotus filaments, accompanied by a vast auspicious entourage, encircled by a thousand and eight bodhisattvas, great bodhisattvas, who included bodhisattva Mangala Vara, bodhisattva Mangala Saṃgraha, bodhisattva Mangala Alaṃkara, bodhisattva Mangala Avaloka, bodhisattva Mangala Sarvavyapin, the auspicious bodhisattva Ā kaśagarbha, the auspicious bodhisattva K ṣitigarbha, the auspicious bodhisattva V ā yugarbha, the auspicious bodhisattva Agnigarbha, the auspicious bodhisattva Jalagarbha, the auspicious bodhisattva A śmagarbha, the auspicious bodhisattva Ratnagarbha, and the auspicious bodhisattva Anantavy ūha. Likewise,
Vipaśyin, Uttaramati, Amitābha, Amitāyus, Buddha Kaśyapa, auspicious Satśvetaketu, the auspicious and powerful Vajrapāṇi, the auspicious and
wise Mañjuśri, the auspicious and compassionate Avalokite ś vara, Śariputra, Subhūti, and so on, an auspicious entourage, one thousand and eight in number. Also, gods, nagas, yak ṣas, gandharvas, k ūṣmāṇḍa spirits, a large crowd of humans and non-humans all gathered together. Then, at that time, the youthful Mañju śri rose from his seat and circumambulated the Bhagavan many times. He placed his right knee on the ground and said this to the Bhagavan: Bhagavan, at this time with such an auspicious entourage gathered I beseech you to teach a sutra that is auspicious and virtuous in the beginning, auspicious and virtuous in the middle, auspicious and virtuous at the end; one that will remove all that is inauspicious, that will gather all that is auspicious, that will dispel all faults and errors
and gather all excellent qualities, and that will bring about splendour and good fortune. The Bhagavan smiled and spoke:
Mañjuśri and others of this auspicious entourage, listen. In the past, on this mighty earth when the lifespan of man was a thousand years long, with the body of a Brahmin I listened to this particular Mahayana sutra, Stack of Auspiciousness, with its thousand excellent qualities, in the presence of the perfectly enlightened buddha Sarva Mangalam Bhava ⁄rıtejas. I remem bered it, recited it and taught it. Through the power of good and bad many signs of inauspiciousness occur in this world, such as bad times, bad births, inauspicious months, inauspicious years and so forth, faults in actions and deeds, in eating, in making clothes, faults in building houses, in finding friends, in keeping wealth, in raising horses and cattle, problems of illness, of death, in travelling, problems in carrying out the dead, in preparing the funeral, in preparing the funeral site, and so forth This Mahayana sutra, Stack of Auspiciousness, dispels all inauspiciousness. It gathers all that is auspicious, dispels all faults and problems, gathers all excellent qualities, making all glorious and fortunate, renders everything good in the beginning, middle and end. It gathers all merit, causing all that is auspicious to appear and to be known, making all exalted and free from any wrong deeds and obscuration. This I will teach to you. By listening to it or writing it down, by merely reciting it, all inauspiciousness will be banished. All bad prophecies, bad omens in dreams, bad mirror divination, bad omens will be dispelled. In order to bring benefit, doctors and happiness to all living beings, I will teach this sutra to you. Listen well. Keep it in your mind.
To this Mañjuśri replied: Excellent! Excellent! Bhagavan, in order to turn away all inauspiciousness for all living beings, teach us this dharma, the Stack of Auspiciousness Sutra, supreme gatherer of excellent qualities. The Bhagavan spoke:
Mañjuśri, and all others of this auspicious entourage. By the power of increase and decrease in karma and merit, the auspicious and inauspicious will appear. For those in the human realm among the ranks of sentient beings, signs of inauspiciousness include, defects in reading, defects in writing, defects in teaching, defects in meditation, dying at birth, blindness, having mottled skin, cracked and dead skin
like a cow’s neck, being born with hare lip, orphaned, a back hunched and bent, the six-eye skin disease, marks on face and hands, goitres, birthmarks, misshapen head, warts, missing or extra limbs. These are the defects of inauspiciousness. Similarly, among cattle, house dogs, farms, wealth and possessions, many defects appear. To remove and transform all their bad omens and signs, and all inauspiciousness, to remove all faults and defects: homage to the auspicious five ultimate deities! Homage to the auspicious supreme deities, protectors, and guides! I will speak the mantra of auspiciousness:

Thus, the Bhagavan spoke. The auspicious entourage, the gods and humans, the asura, all rejoiced at the words of the Bhagavan and praised the
Tath›gata. Then the youthful Mañjuśri requested the Bhagavan, “This sutra of the Bhagavan, what is its procedure? How is it to be performed?” The Bhagavan replied, “Mañjuśri, the procedure is as follows. Recite it when building palaces for the three jewels, when building deity temples, main temples, stupas, shrines, when consecrating reliquaries, canons of the Buddha, collections of scripture, at places for the building of fortresses, when erecting new houses, at the birth of children, at the giving and receiving of brides, when taking out corpses, preparing the funeral, preparing the funeral site, and for repelling and transforming all inauspiciousness and bad omens. Recite it to make food pure and of good taste, or for the five types of grain such as barley, rice and sesame, and so forth, or for fruit, grain essences, honey or the heart-shaped spirit torma. The benefits of doing so are that all inauspiciousness will be removed and in this life there will be all that is
auspicious and the ultimate result will be gained.”
