Rinpoche gave the following advice on the benefits of reciting the Golden Light Sutra.

It is important to recite the Golden Light Sutra—even if you recite just a few pages a day. This is most important for purification and protection. Purification eliminates the causes to be born in the lower realms, this is the most immediate need, also leads to having a good rebirth in all future lives and fulfilling all one’s wishes. It is said that all the devas promised in front of the Buddha to protect those who recite this sutra. The recitation of this text also brings peace and happiness in the country and the world—it does everything. So, it is important to recite even a few pages, even at very busy times.
