This text, “One Hundred Thousand Ornaments of the Essence of Awakening”, (byang chub kyi snying po’i rgyan ’bum gyi gzungs; bodhigarbhālaṅkāralakṣa dhāraṇī, Toh 509) presents a set of mantras that, when placed inside a stūpa, multiply the merit of having built one stūpa by one hundred thousand. These dhāraṇīs are specifically said to be of benefit to future generations whose merit will be weak.
