Excerpted from Grandmaster's book "Magic of
Changing One's Fate"
I often teach everyone to chant a mantra. This is not a well
known mantra, not a secret mantra, not a mantra that will radiate
great brightness, and it is not a supreme mantra.
It is just a simple, ordinary mantra often found in any one of the
Sutras. It is very plain, so simple that most people will often
overlook it. This is the "An Tu Di Zhen Yen" (Settlement
of the Earth God Mantra). The mantra is as follows: Namo
sam-man-do, moo-toh-nam, om, doo-loo doo-loo dei-wei, so-ha.

Let me tell everybody this fact - this simple mantra that can
change one's fate.
Isn't this just the ordinary Settlement of the Earth God Mantra?
Yes, correct. However, it has the great power to change one's
fate, thus it is not to be neglected.
- Someone chanted this mantra and his skin disease of 10 years was
cured completely.
- Some people possessed bad luck on their features, and they are
poor their entire life. After chanting this mantra for a long
period of time, their fate changed and they went from poverty to
riches.
- After chanting this mantra, some people were able to bear a
child after 10 years of infertility.
- After chanting this mantra, some people were blessed with good
health in their whole life.
- After chanting this mantra, some people were blessed with good
marriages shown by a reddish glow on their faces.
- Some people had karmic obstacles in their lives, making life
tough. After chanting this mantra, their every wish is fulfilled
without any obstacles in their endeavors.
- Some people became big lottery winners after they chanted this
mantra.
I have to tell everyone a secret. Actually this is not supposed to
be revealed, but I can't help it. If you chant the Local Earth God
mantra and go to Las Vegas, your wish will be especially fulfilled
there.
Nobody has suggested chanting this mantra for a long time, except
me, Living Buddha Lian Shen who is recommending this method now.
This is what I discovered. In one of my meditations, I found a
white-haired, ruddy faced elderly man sitting beside me.
"Who are you?"
"The Earth God."
"What do you like to do in the human realm?"
"Follow those who have good fortune."
"What are your views on the spiritual realms?"
"The holy realm (of Buddhas) is Emptiness and Void, the
heavenly realm (of deities) is purity, the Earth deity realm is a
mixture of auspiciousness and inauspiciousness."
I asked the Earth God, "How is an individual's fate
determined?"
"Fate exists based on causes and conditions. It is quite
intriguing and complicated. Ordinary humans should know about it,
but everything cannot be separated from cause and effect; all is
fated, and nobody can do anything about it."
"You are right about this, but how does one change one's
fate?"
I continued to ask, "Pray to the Buddhas?"
"If it is not within a reasonable time frame, you cannot
successfully supplicate the Buddhas."
"Pray to the heavenly deities?"
"Also no if it is not within the reasonable time frame."
"Supplicate the Local Earth God?"
"That's right. Obtaining auspiciousness or inauspiciousness
can change one's fate."
"How to change (one's fate)?"
"Chant the mantra."
"Which mantra?"
"Settlement of the Local Earth God Mantra."
The elderly man brought me riding on a deer carriage to the skies,
and we reached a mountain with a grand shining capital on it.
There were innumerable white-haired ruddy faced elderly men in
this capital, millions of them. Some of them are returning, and
some of them are flying off into the sky.
"What is this realm?"
"The realm of the Local Earth God Deities."
"What are they busy doing? "
"To go and protect, to go and change fate."
Finally I realized this principle; we can change our fate by
learning from the Buddhas, we can also change our fate by learning
from the heavenly deities, but to chant "Settlement of the
Local Earth God Mantra" is to change our fate much faster and
more directly.
To change one's fate, to hold the key to transformation, any
dharmas utilized must be within a reasonable time frame, and meet
certain requirements.
But to simply chant "An Tu Di Zhen Yen" (Settlement of
the Local Earth God Mantra), millions and billions of times, and
sincerely offering to the Local Earth God, one will receive the
fortunate blessings of the Local Earth God to change one's fate.
This is a fact.
