Enjoy! Take what is useful for you and practice it it works!

PRACTICES TO DO FOR SUCCESS

1) GIVE RISE TO BODHICHITTA. DO ALL OF YOUR ACTIONS WITH BODHICHITTA.

Make it a habit to think that all of your actions of body, speech and mind will be done for the
benet of others. Cultivate the aspiration to attain enlightenment for the benet of all
sentient beings, and nurture this precious altruistic intention as dearly as a mother cares for
her child.
2) Do TONGLEN!
When you breathe out, think that you are giving everything to all sentient beings. Give all your merits
of the three times and your body, like a wish-granting jewel, all your possessions, and so on. Give them
to all sentient beings as you breathe out, and when you breathe in, take all beings su erings and their
causes, all the undesirable things, onto yourself, and destroy your self-cherishing thought.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche
3) REJOICE in the merit, happiness, virtue, positive potential, and amazing, inconceivable
causes of happiness, merit, and virtue created by all the buddhas, bodhisattvas, and all
sentient beings of the ten directions and three times,
and especially your root spiritual teachers, Shakyamuni Buddha, and all other great gurus,
arhats, pratyekabuddhas, monks, nuns, lamas, retreatants, and all Dharma practitioners (and
any other great spiritual masters with whom you have a connection).
Each time you rejoice in your own past, present, and future merits, it doubles or triples them. You
collect so much merit by rejoicing, or feeling happiness about other sentient beings merit. If you
rejoice in a sentient beings merit, and the level of the persons mind is lower than yours, you collect

double the persons merit. If the persons level of mind is equal to yours, you collect the same amount
of merit. If the persons level of mind is higher than yours, then you collect half their merit. Since there
are so many sentient beings, you can imagine how much merit you collect. You will want to practice
rejoicing all day long, and night. If you rejoice in the merit generated by one bodhisattva in one day,
you receive half of the merit. Because bodhisattvas have realized bodhicitta, they seek only the
happiness of others, so whatever activity the bodhisattva does collects so much merit, every second.
Can you imagine if you get half of a bodhisattvas merit for one day? Now you can see how incredible it
is to get that kind of merit, without rejoicing, would take 13,000 years! You can see that this is a great
thing to do, and is so easy to do. You can collect merit within seconds that would take 13,000 years. You
dont need to prepare anything, just your thoughts. You can do this while walking, jogging, eating,
lying on the beach: any time. So, this is a really fantastic practice, if you want to have quick success,
great wealth, realizations of the path, and bene t others, especially if you want to achieve
enlightenment in order to liberate sentient beings from samsaric su erings, and bring them to full
enlightenment.
-Lama Zopa Rinpoche
You should rejoice in all the virtuous things done by any person. If you can do this you will accumulate
merit equal to that person. The great Dzogchen master Paltrul Rinpoche said, If you want to
accumulate merit without doing anything, rejoice in the merit of others. You can just sleep, lie in your
bed and listen. If you hear that someone is doing a good thing, rejoice in that and you can accumulate
merit.

-Garchen Rinpoche
Rejoicing is habituating yourself to feeling happy about all the constructive acts of the Triumphant
Ones, their spiritual o spring, and all wandering beings. This is a supreme method for transforming
fathomless masses of positive force into something immeasurably great.
-Longchenpa
Rejoicing in our own positive accomplishments is one of the best ways to increase the positive force
built up by them. This, in turn, strengthens the happiness that will ripen from this force. In the case of
rejoicing in the positive accomplishments of others, doing so builds up in us positive force either
equivalent to or even greater than the positive force of the other person.
-Dr. Alex Berzin
4) MAKE OFFERINGS to your Gurus, Lamas, Spiritual Teachers, and Spiritual Friends.
Whenever you meet someone who has the same guru as you, you can o er him or her chocolate, water,
or money anything that you have with the thought that he or she has the same guru, and so is the
same as the gurus pores. If you o er to many Sangha members who have the same guru as you, then
you are making o erings to that many pores of the guru. This is the easiest way to collect a lot of merit
through o erings.
By o ering just one candy, owers, or a grain of rice to a statue of the Buddha or even a visualized
Buddha, you collect a lot of merit. But making o erings to the gurus pores collects more merit than

o ering to all the buddhas, Dharmas, sanghas, statues, stupas, and scriptures, not only in this
continent and this world but all that exist in all the universes and all the directions. Making o erings
to any pore of the guru with this attitude creates much more merit than all of these o erings.
No matter how much money you have even 10 billion dollars it is nothing compared to this
bene t. You will attain temporal happiness and ultimate happiness from this good karma, as well as
all realizations up to enlightenment. Even after you achieve enlightenment, the many qualities of a
Buddhas holy mind still cause so many sentient beings to become enlightened. These are the bene ts
of just that simple act of making o erings to the gurus pores.
These bene ts should be understood, so that when you make o erings to the gurus pores, you think
correctly. This is the best business. If your business needs puri cation, or is short of merit, then this is
what you should do to create success for your business.
By making o erings to the gurus pores, with the remembrance that they are the gurus pores, you
collect mind-blowing merits. With this business of making merit, there is no risk, and the bene t is
always there, every time, no matter what. There is no risk of de ation or loss. By making o erings, or
charity, the karmic result is ongoing. There is no negative change, and it wont go decrease due to
in ation.
So, if you can make o erings to the Sangha with this in your mind, whatever you can give, even just for
a few days or one week, or just give a general donation to the Sangha, the most important thing is to
think that you are making o erings to the gurus pores.

By using these methods, you can collect the most merit. If you collect a lot of merit, suddenly a miracle
can happen that you wont be able to believe not only great success in business, but suddenly
everything booms in your life. Similarly with realizations, miracles can happen. Of course, miracles do
not happen without causes and conditions.
-Lama Zopa Rinpoche
5) Make oerings to all of your Spiritual Teachers students.
Give texts, money, food, support, friendship, time, kind words, smiles, service, and anything
else that they might need or want. Making oerings to the Gurus disciples is like making
oerings to the Gurus pores.
6) Make oerings to EVERYONE and EVERYTHING all sentient beings.
Never pass by an opportunity for generosity constantly look for opportunities for
generosity. Seal this generosity with view of emptiness.
Practice charity even with small things, like giving food to animals and people. You can even
oer charity to ants, so that you can collect as much merit as possible.
7) DO PROSTRATIONS to all the buddhas, bodhisattvas, the Gurus, and the Triple Gem.
8) Make extensive oering at your altar (or any sacred object) to the Guru, the Buddhas, the
Dharma, and the Sangha, and all holy beings and holy objects such as all the lamas, yidams,
deities, dakas, dakinis, Dharma protectors, bodhisattvas, arhats, pratyekabuddas, shravakas,

statues, stupas, thangkas, and scriptures, all of which are of the nature of bliss and
emptiness, and of the nature of your own root teachers.
9) Keep precepts as much as possible, such as the Sojong/8 Mahayana Precepts, the 5 Lay
Precepts, the Bodhisattva Precepts, and any other precepts that you have received from your
teachers.
10) Recite the short D Sum Sangye Barchay Lamsel (Dispelling Obstacles from the Path)
prayer to Guru Rinpoche many times.
D SUM SANG-GYAY GU-RU RIN-PO-CHH
NG-DRUB KN DAG DE-WA-CHEN-POI ZHAB

(English Translation)
Buddha of the Three Times, Guru Rinpoche:

Lord of All Spiritual Accomplishments,Sovereign of Great Bliss:

Dispeller of All Obstacles, Dynamic and Wrathful Tamers of Maras:
I pray to you bestow your blessings!
Pacify outer, inner, and secret obstacles,
And grant your blessings that our wishes may be spontaneously accomplished!
OM H HNG VAJRA GURU PADMA SIDDHI HNG
Translated by Erick Tsiknopoulos (Sherab Zangpo)
11) Recite the Diamond Cutter Sutra many times.
This is a most precious text, where Buddha showed ultimate truth. This is the way Buddha liberates
sentient beings, by revealing the truth-not by washing away our negative karma with water, or by
taking them from our body with his hand, and not by transferring realizations.
For a version of the Vajra Cutter Sutra, go here:
http://www.lamayeshe.com/otherteachers/buddha/diamond/vajra_cutter.shtml
12) Recite the Arya Sanghata Sutra many times.
When you recite the text, you will understand how much merit you collect by printing this sutra. It can
bring miracles.

-Lama Zopa Rinpoche

For a version of the Arya Sanghata Sutra, go to:
http://www.fpmt.org/teachers/zopa/advice/pdf/sanghatajan07llttr.pdf
13) Recite the Sutra of Golden Light many times.
For a version of the Sutra of Golden Light: The 21 Chapter Version, go to:
http://www.fpmt.org/teachers/zopa/advice/pdf/sutragoldenlight0207lttr.pdf
For the 29 and 31 Chapter Versions of the Sutra of Golden Light, go to:
and http://www.sutraofgoldenlight.com
14) Recite the Heart Sutra many times.
For a version of the Heart Sutra, go to:
http://www.lamayeshe.com/otherteachers/buddha/heart_sutra.shtml
15) Print out many copies of the Diamond Sutra, Arya Sanghata Sutra, Sutra of Golden Light,
and Heart Sutra, and give them away to others.
After you have printed these texts, keep them respectfully in a high, clean place. You can also give
copies to people. If you keep some in your house, you can make o erings and prostrations to them, and

in this way collect incredible merit. If you have many copies, when a stupa or large statue is built, these
extra texts can go inside them. It has to be the complete text, with no missing pages.
You are so fortunate even to see these texts. There is incredible bene t to having them in your house.
According to the texts, if you even have one copy of them in your house, your house becomes a holy
object, and all the devas of the three times come there and protect your house. This is what you should
do to make your life easier.
-Lama Zopa Rinpoche
19) Recite this mantra many times:
The Extremely Secret Mantra of the Vast Celestial Palace of Jewels
OM BIBULA GARBHE MANI PRABHE TATHAGATA NIRADESHANE MANI MANI SUPRABHE
VIMALE VIMALE SAGARA GAMBHIRE HUNG HUNG JVALA JVALA BUDDHAVILOKITE GUHYA
ABDHISHTHITE GARBHE SVH
The Heart Mantra:
OM MANI VAJRA HNG
The Quintessence Mantra:
OM MANI DHIRI HNG PHAT
[Through reciting this,] all wishes will be fullled, and so on; the benets are inexpressible.

Translated by Erick Tsiknopoulos (Sherab Zangpo).

Generally, in the text, it says to recite it three times a day, but you could recite it two times, and keep
the text in your wallet or car or somewhere handy. This can help in business and bring wealth.
Buddha taught such things because his omniscient mind knows the various ways to help others. He
knows exactly which methods t each sentient being. Out of great compassion, the Buddha gave
various mantras to help to remove su ering. He taught these various methods while showing the
unmistaken path to be free from samsara, to achieve liberation, and to achieve enlightenment.
This mantra is much more valuable than a sky lled with diamonds, gold, and wish- ful lling jewels.
This ordinary kind of wealth is nothing compared to the bene ts of this mantra. Just seeing this
mantra directs you to enlightenment. Your life becomes irreversibly led toward enlightenment. The
mantra can purify the ten non-virtuous actions and the ve heinous actions. It can prevent you from
being born in the three lower realms. The same is true of touching, keeping the mantra, and also
hearing the mantra. Just remembering the mantra becomes an o ering to all the buddhas.
This mantra is called the Great Increasing Jewel Fathomless Celestial Mansion Extremely WellAbiding Secret Holy Mantra. See if you can recite it just ten times a day. It is a very, very special
mantra.
Buddha taught these mantras because di erent sentient beings appeared at di erent times with
di erent problems, and requested Buddha for help. Buddha gave various methods, even manifesting as

di erent deities. By using these means for the Buddha and others you are repaying the Buddhas
kindness.
-Lama Zopa Rinpoche
20) Recite this sutra many times:

THE MAHA-LAKSHMI SUTRA

In the Indian Language [Sanskrit]: Mahashri Sutra [or Mahalakshmini Sutra[i]]
In the Tibetan Language: Plchhenmoi Do [dpal chen moi mdo]
In the English Language: The Maha-Lakshmi Sutra
HOMAGE TO ALL THE 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, he fully prostrated at the feet of the
Transcendent and Accomplished Conqueror, and, circumambulating the Transcendent and
Accomplished Conqueror three times, he sat downto one side.

Then, the Transcendent and Accomplished Conqueror gazed at Maha-Lakshmi, 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 of the gathered assemblies prayed deeply, saying, May it be so!
Then, the Transcendent and Accomplished Conqueror uttered the Twelve Names of MahaLakshmi:
PEL-DEN-MA
PEL-TRI-MA
PAY-MAY-THRENG-WA-CHEN
NOR GYI DAG-MO
KAR-MO
DRAG-PA-CHHEN-MO
PAY-MAY-CHEN
JEY-PA-MO
D-CHHEN-MO
ZAY-JIN-MA
RIN-PO-CHH RAB-JIN-MO
PEL-CHHEN-MO

(In English)
She Who IsImbued with Glory
She Who Is Enveloped in Splendor
Holder of a Rosary of Lotuses
Sovereign Lady of Wealth
She Who Is White
Sheof GreatRenown
Lotus Eye
She Who Is Ecacious
She of Great Light
She Who Gives Food
She Who Wholeheartedly Gives Precious Gems
She of Great Resplendence
(The mantra)
SYDYATHEDANA/ JINI GRINI/ SARVA ARTHA SADHANI/
SHASHINA ALAGA SHIMANA/
NSHAYA SIDDHANATU MANTRA PADAI SVH/
OM BIGUNI BARAMASU BHAGE SVH

If anyone recites this during the three times of the day[ii], then they will be victorious over
all unpleasant circumstances. They will be endowed with excellent fortune. They will be
endowed with not knowing the exhaustion of wealth.
Furthermore,everyone will perceive them as being like their children, will be delighted by
them, and will act exactly in accordance with their bidding.
If one always reads this out-loud continuously, then even if Brahma commits wrathful
actions one will be not be harmed, 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.
Translated by Erick Tsiknopoulos (Sherab Zangpo)

[i]Although some versions of this sutra list the Sanskrit title as Mahashri Sutra, according
to the Derge Kangyur version of this sutra, the title in Sanskrit is the Mahalakshmini Sutra.
Also, the goddess in this text (Pelchenmo, She of Great Glory) is almost denitely a
Buddhist version of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, so for these two reasons I have chosen to go
with Maha-Lakshmi in this translation. This is an updated and revised version of my
previous translation of the same text, entitled The Mahashri Sutra.

[ii] Morning, afternoon, and night.

This practice is for overcoming nancial diculties, especially if someone is causing you nancial
problems, but also to empower nancial endeavors that are dependent on others to bring success.
This can be given to anybody who has diculties such as not having wealth. Also, those who are
having great diculties nding a job and who have no money, or who have a lot of debt, a dicult
life, and who are unable to pay [their bills].
Doing this practice is one method, one solution. Especially if the person has the karma, it is possible
that this practice could make a di erence. It could help those who have nancial diculties or
diculties with wealth.
-Lama Zopa Rinpoche
21) Recite mantras! All mantras create merit when recited. Here are some special mantras
for success:

THE ESSENCE OF THE SIX FARREACHING PERFECTIONS DHARANI

(THE ESSENCE OF THE SIX PARAMITAS

DHARANI)
NAMO DHARMAKYA SAMBHOGAKYA NIRMANAKYA/ TADYATH/ DNA PRAMIT/
SHLA PRAMIT/ KSHANTI PRAMIT/ VRYA PRAMIT/ DHYANA PRAMIT/ PRAJ
PRAMIT SARVA DHARMA SHNYAT SVH
Translated by Erick Sherab Zangpo.
(recite six times daily)

THE MANTRA FOR ACCOMPLISHING

ACTIVITIES
NAMO HARI DHIYE HARI DHIKU MRI GAURI GANDHARI CHANDALI MATI GIKA LIKA LIMO
HEHI KHARA KHARA PACHA PACHA ABADHAYE MRCHYA MASHA MANYA SVH/ OM
BHRA BHPA JVLA JVLA JVLI JVLI MANNI/ DEVI SARVA SAMSKARA KARINI JA/ TALE
TALE JVLA JVLA SVH
Translated by Erick Sherab Zangpo.

Merely by reading this [the Mantra for Accomplishing All Activities] 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 nd
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 owers or fruit, then whoever you
give these to, that person will like you.

THE AMITAYUS LONG LIFE MANTRA

(especially for the long life of your gurus):
OM AMARANI JIVANTAYE SVH

THE AKASHAGARBHA MANTRA

OM SVASTI KAML KSHIVI PULA SAMBHAVA/ DHARMADHTU GOCHARA SVH
Translated by Erick Tsiknopoulos (Sherab Zangpo).

This mantra [the Akashagarbha Mantra] has unbelievable bene ts. It is the bodhisattva
Akashagarbha mantra, Bodhisattva Essence of Sky. You can recite it and wear it.
You can wear the mantra all the time, except at nighttime, because it might fall under the body, under
the arms or shoulders, and this will result in negative karma. Otherwise, you can wear it all the time,
especially if you are going to request something, or at any time when success is important. Of course,
just wearing the mantra, without meditating, will not bring extensive realizations and enlightenment.
From ones own side, you have to have good karma. Good karma for success is like a big fund. Merit,
good karma, is like the seed for the crops, and the mantra is like the water and soil. The mantra helps
the good karma, if its there, to ripen quickly.

THE DHARANI OF GANAPATIS MONKEY

EMANATION
And thus, if you recite this dharani of Ganapatis Monkey Emanation many times, you will
not lack for food and resources.
OM NAMO GANAPATI JAYABARANE JIVANTIYE SVAHA

If you recite this heart-essence all the time, at those very times, you will nd a great treasury
of wealth. You will become equal in fortune to a world-turning universal monarch.
22) Recite the following wealth sutras:

GANAPATIS EXALTED HEART-DHRANI

In the Indian Language [Sanskrit]: rya Ganapati Hridya
In the Tibetan Language: Phakpa Tsokdakpoi Zung
In the English Language: The Exalted Ganapatis Heart-Dhrani
HOMAGE TO ALL THE BUDDHAS AND BODHISATTVAS!
Thus have I heard: at one time, the Transcendent and Accomplished Conqueror was in
Rajagriha, on Vultures Peak Mountain, abiding together in one company with an enormous
Sangha of fully-ordained monks.
Then, the Blessed One said to the Venerable Ananda:
Retain this, the Heart of Ganapati! Those people who read this will accomplish all of their
endeavors. All the aspirations they hold in their minds will be accomplished, as well. They
will accomplish all of the secret mantras, too. All of their wealth and resources will become

abundant. Without asking or searching, whatever food and riches they want will be found.
For this, one must recite this mantra!
TADYATH/ NAMO TUDDHE/ GANAPATI/ KATA KATA/ KITI KITI/ KUTA KUTA/ MATRA
MATRA/ DARA DARA/ DHAHA DHAHA/ GHRINA GHRINA/ DAB DAB/ JAMBHA JAMBHA/
SAMAYA MANUSMARANA TUDDE TUDTRA/ BACHANAYE SVH/ ABUTE
BHIDUKSHABANCHA TANA/ BASAMA GARACHHA/ THAMAHABHAYA/ MAHBAY/
MAHETETA KSHINIYA/ PRAKOMPAYASI/ TADYATH/ OM KURU KURU/ MURU MURU/
CHURU CHURU/ NAMA NAMA SVH
Ananda! If any son or daughter of noble spiritual lineage, fully-ordained monk, fullyordained nun, layman, laywoman, or anyone else intones this Heart-Essence of the Lord of
Gatherings every day, then that person will be endowed with bliss and happiness in this life.
They will be endowed with riches and resources. The suerings of poverty and destitution
will not occur. They will be pleasing and delightful to all people. They will accomplish all of
their endeavors, no matter what they are, and their aspirations as well. Both in this life and
their next life too, they will not lack wealth and resources.
Waking up daily earlyin the morning in ones home, if this dhrani is chanted three or
seven times, then one will retain what has been heard. All malevolent gods, harmful spirits,
demons, and dakinis will not snatch away ones radiance and luster. That person will be
guarded and protected.

The Transcendent and Accomplished Conqueror spoke thus, and the entire retinue, the whole
universe with its gods, humans, demi-gods, and gandharvas rejoiced, and deeply praised
what had been spoken by the Bhagavan, the Transcendent and Accomplished Conqueror.
THE EXALTED DHRANI OF GANAPATI, THE LORD OF GATHERINGS, IS COMPLETE.
Translated by Erick Tsiknopoulos (Sherab Zangpo).

THE EXALTED MANIBHADRAS DHRANI

In the Indian Language (Sanskrit): rya Manibhadra Nma Dhrani
In the Tibetan Language: Phakpa Norbu Zangpoi Zung Zheyjawa
In the English Language: The Dhrani of the Exalted Manibhadra
HOMAGE TO THE THREE JEWELS!
Thus have I heard: at one time, the Transcendent and Accomplished Conqueror was abiding
in Shravasti in King Jetavanas Grove, in the contemplative garden of Anathapindada.
Then, the great general of the yakshas, Manibhadraputra, went up to the Transcendent and
Accomplished,and having gone there, he bowed his head at the feet of the Transcendent and
Accomplished Conqueror, and sat down to one side.

Having sat down to one side, the great general of the yakshas Manibhadraputra spoke the
following words to the Transcendent and Accomplished Conqueror:
Venerable Sir, if any fully-ordained monks, fully-ordained nuns, laymen, laywomen, or
anyone else recites this heart-essence every day during the three parts of the day, then I will
always follow after that person, do everything that person needs, seek out food, riches, gold,
jewels, grain, and silver for them, accomplish all of their aims, put all sentient beings under
their power, instantaneously accomplish all the various activities of that person, and they
will be apart from association with depravity.

If you recite this seven times, there will be accomplishment.
The ritual of this dhrani is this: If on the 15thday of the waxing moon ones clean oneself,
scents with the smoke of aloe-wood [akaru] during the three times of the day, and recites

this dhrani 7,000 times, then gold will be found.
