Rinpoche gave the following advice regarding the Akashagarbha mantra for success.

OM SVASTI KAMAALA KSHIVI PULA SAMBHAVA DHARMADHATU GOTSARA SVAHA

This mantra has unbelievable benefits. It is the bodhisattva Akashagarbha mantra, Bodhisattva “Essence of Sky”. You can recite it and wear it.

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, 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 one's own side, you have to have good karma. Good karma for success is like a big fund. Merit or 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 it’s there, to ripen quickly.

Once there was a problem in a center, which had bought a new house and had made a deck outside, against the bedroom window of a neighbor. The neighbor didn’t like this, which was understandable, because her privacy was affected, people could see in her window. She complained to the government, people came to check, and the center was told to change some things. I sent this mantra for all the staff to wear for the success of the center.

Also, a student used this mantra in her business activities. There was a customer who was always shouting and criticizing. The student asked her secretary to hold this mantra in her hand when she talked to this customer. When the secretary held the mantra, the customer completely changed, was gentle, totally different, more respectful. It was a big surprise for all of them.
