The most accurate Sanskrit form of this Buddhist money mantra is OM VASUDHARE SVAHA (pronounced as OM WA SU DHA REI SWA HA).

On several occasions, the All-Compassionate Buddha shared with us practices that will enhance our wealth, so that His students may pursue their spiritual goals with less physical distraction.

One of the wealth deities introduced by the Buddha is the bodhisattva, Vasudhara.

Vasudhara, whose name means 'stream of treasure' in Sanskrit, is mentioned in the Mahayana sutra, the Vasudhara Dharani (also known as the Inquiry of the Layman Sucandra).

In recent years, 2 well-respected Chinese Mahayana monks, Venerable Hui Lyu (慧律) and Venerable Hai Tao (海涛) have propagated the Vasudhara Dharani and taught the money mantra in it.

In Tibetan Buddhism, Vasudhara (known as Norgyun or Norgyunma in Tibet) is regarded as a primary 'Wealth Deity'. The Kagyu, Sakya, and Gelug schools include Vasudhara in their spiritual practices and perform Vasudhara-related pujas mainly for lay believers.

Vasudhara's popularity, however, peaks in Nepal where she has a strong following among the Newars of the Kathmandu Valley, and is thus a central figure in Newar Buddhism. She is given the name Shiskar Apa in the Indian districts of Lahul and Spiti.

For this mantra to be effective, you should:

1. Recite this mantra 800 times the first time
2. Recite it 3 times a day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once at night, 108 times each thereafter
3. Maintain a pure mind during recitation


~ Many thanks to Upasaka Guo Bin (果滨) for his wonderful recitation ~

  • People may think that the Buddha said that "Life is all suffering" BUT just like the words of Jesus Christ, over time meanings can be misunderstood. ATTACHMENT to life is suffering. Not life itself! Not life on earth or life in heaven. Suffering is not necessary because it belongs to the category of ATTACHMENT! Pain and Pleasure are natural to life. Suffering is attachment to Pain and Pleasure and therefore attachment to life! Detachment can be cultivated with time and patience! No doubt

  • The only thing to be renounced is IGNORANCE/ATTACHMENT to transitory things. Like our body of course but like everything in this world. No attachement to the object of desire and there is no suffering at all. On the contrary. You get the object of your desire without any suffering because no attachment to the object. All suffering is caused by attachment!!

  • I agree totally with "Zadkielmodeler" regarding what he wrote about money and the perception of it and the bulls**t surrounding it. Let's put it this way, attachment to money is the problem. Attachment to anything is what binds us. Not the thing itself! If we are attached to ANYTHING, it will cause problems. Money is a powerful force for good in the hands of the generous and noble minded! Don't think Buddha himself would give money to help somebody in need??? Think again I say!

  • Yes it will if you make a discipline out of it! A classical Indian Vedic mantra discipline, (Which is what this is. A Sanskrit Mantra. Buddhist or no Buddhist. Older than Buddhism by a long way. Any ways. just listen to this everyday for 40 days. Take each day at a time but complete the discipline. 1 time in the morning and 1 time in the evening, (just like sex if you're lucky) and you'll see results. Scouts Honour! One mantra at a time day by day and then you can expect results! :)
