Introduction to the Mantra
Among the vast Buddhist scriptures, some dharanis are specifically transmitted to purify eye ailments. One of them is the "Dharani for Cleansing of All Eye Maladies", revealed by the Buddha and translated into Chinese during the Tang Dynasty by the great translator Amoghavajra (A.D. 746-774). The mantra, flowing like luminous pearls, immerses one in a world of light, dissolving impurities and offering profound clarity.
This sacred mantra was taught by the Buddha in Kapilavastu to respond to a request from a member of the Shakya clan suffering from severe eye diseases. With great compassion, the Buddha imparted this dharani to dispel darkness, purify obstacles, and unveil the source of light and kindness. Its power resembles the first rays of dawn, which sweep away the weight of the night, or the dew that cleanses the dust of the world.

Benefits of Recitation
Purifies eye ailments and removes impurities
Connects with the blessings of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas
According to the scripture: "This dharani, a sacred king, eliminates eye impurities caused by wind, heat, and phlegm. May this mantra protect the afflicted, ensuring their eyes are free from pain and tears."
If aligned with ancient Indian medicine (Ayurveda), "wind, heat, and phlegm" may correspond to the following (for reference only):
Wind (Vāta Dosha): Imbalance in bodily "wind" (energy flow), associated with dryness or poor circulation.
Eye symptoms: Eye fatigue, dry eye, glaucoma, myopia, presbyopia, etc.
Heat (Pitta Dosha): Diseases caused by "heat" or "inflammation."
Eye symptoms: Conjunctivitis, styes, corneal ulcers, red eyes, etc.
Phlegm (Kapha Dosha): Excess moisture or mucus in the body, causing obstruction.
Eye symptoms: Cataracts, chronic eye allergies, excessive eye discharge, etc.
This dharani not only offers healing for various eye conditions but also provides practitioners with a path to achieve balance in body and mind, benefiting both physical health and spiritual well-being.
