However, I have witnessed the effects of compassion on them. it leaves them no opening to cause harm.... You perform the 3 claps at the end of the sutra. There are 4, but I was taught that the last 3 act as instruction for the spirits to obey: ''Great Mother, Prajnaparamita, and all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the ten directions, through the power of your blessings may these true words of mine be achieved. Just as before, when by contemplating the profound meaning of the perfection of wisdom and reciting its words, Indra overcame all the harm of maras, non-humans and so forth, in the same way, by my contemplating the profound meaning of the perfection of wisdom and reciting its words: May all the harm of maras, non-humans and so forth be overcome.(clap) May they become non-existent. (clap) May they be pacified.(clap) May they be thoroughly pacified.(clap)'' source: http://viewonbuddhism.org/resources/heartsutra.html More info on Shurangama mantra - http://www.dharmawheel.net/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=232&p=113429#p113429 - Shurangama mantra recited in Sanskrit & - Shurangama mantra recited in Chinese (fast version) & - Shurangama mantra recited in Chinese (slow version) http://online.sfsu.edu/rone/Buddhism/Shurangama/Shurangama.htm#Commentaries_on_the_Sutra_and - Shurngama Sutra: Text, Commentaries and Articles http://www.drbachinese.org/vbs/101_132/vbs132/132_6.htm - mantra w/ mudras http://www.dharmabliss.org/audio/sur-texttw-sktch/sur_text_skt-ch.htm - Romanized Sanskrit/Chinese mantra text http://cttbusa.org/shurangama1/shurangama_contents.asp - Shurangama Sutra w/ commentary by Master Hsuan Hua
