Verse of protection

[Spirit of Light]

Invitation to Deities (Devaradhana)
May devas (deities) of all world systems assemble here, and listen to that sublime Dhamma of the Great Sage (Buddha) which confers the bliss of heaven and deliverance (Nibbana).

Good friends, now is time for listening to the Dhamma.

At the end of the recital of each discourse the reciters bless the listeners thus:

By the asseveration of this truth may you ever be well.
By the asseveration of this truth may you be free from illness.
By the asseveration of this truth may all blessings be upon you.
By the (protective) power of all Buddhas, Pacceka Buddhas and all arahants I secure my (your) protection in every way.
(The preceding stanza is recited at the moment the thread is being tied round the arm.)

May all misfortunes be warded off, may all ailments cease; may no calamities befall you; may you live long in peace.

May all blessings be upon you. May all devas (deities) protect you.

By the protective power of all the Buddhas may safety ever be yours.

By the protective power of all the Dhamma may safety ever be yours.

By the protective power of all the Sangha may safety ever be yours.

By the power of this paritta (protection) may you be free from all dangers arising from malign influences of the planets, demons, and spirits. May thy misfortunes vanish.

By the power of the Buddha may all evil omens and untoward circumstances, the ominous cry of birds, the malign conjunctions of the stars, and evil dreams be rendered nugatory.

By the power of the Dhamma... (as before) be rendered nugatory.

By the power of the Sangha... (as before) be rendered nugatory.

May those beings who suffer be free from suffering.

May those beings who are in fear be free from fear.

May those beings who are in grief be free from grief.

May the rains fall in due season; may there be a rich harvest; may the world prosper; may the ruler be righteous.

May beings, celestial and terrestrial, Devas and Nagas of mighty power, share this merit of ours. May they long protect the Dispensation.

May all beings share this merit which we have thus acquired. May it redound to their happiness.

Let this (merit) accrue to my relatives; may they be well and happy.

From the highest realm of existence to avici hell, whatever beings that are born — those with form and the formless ones, those with or without consciousness — may they all be free from suffering! May they attain Nibbana!

By the power of the immense merit I have acquired by paying homage to the "Triple Gem" (the Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha) which is eminently worthy of reverence, may all dangers cease!

By the power of the Buddha may all evil omens and untoward circumstances, the ominous cry of birds, the malign conjunctions of the stars, and evil dreams be rendered nugatory.

The paritta above, in general, and the underlined items above, specifically, seem, IMO, to weaken the claim that Buddhism is a philosophy and not a religion.

Originally Buddhism was and still is a Cultivation path, But yes some see it as a Religion because of rites and rituals. But as a Buddhist, we should not cling to rites and rituals. But in a few cases, we are allowed to say verses of protection. This form of protections are not only for Buddhists but for all living beings,

 

[lostwanderingsoul]

Any diety who can be influenced by repeating the same lines over and over is a weak diety. A strong diety only needs to be asked one time.

Chanting is a form of energy work that sends out righteous thoughts or words, The deity who is near would be able to give protection toward evil if the person himself/her self can not do it.
It may be so that just one thought could do the same. But this protection verse have been used for millennia so i would think it work

 

[Epic Beard Man]

True. But repetitive invocations are merely done out of tradition and familiarity.

The Book of Protection: Paritta

How the Buddhist senses the effectiveness of the protection forces they believe in
Is there something so installed

As a Muslim there is a science called the call of God by His greatest name, a name that only scientists know
The devils do not know him, nor does the sinner know him
It is a gift from God to the faithful who do good deeds
If a man calls God, GOD WILL ANSWER

The powers that get him stop all the magic in the world. Stronger than black magic and stronger than demons and devils.

In Islamic culture
Listening to this verse will be a source of spiritual protection for you
like this

I heard a story when an Islamic institution opened a radio station in an African country and was putting the Koran
There was a person Infected in black magic and was in pain and after heard the Koran and felt the psychological comfort
He went to the radio station and asked them to give him a copy of the songs
He said the songs you put are very comfortable
They said to him, It is not songs, but it is a quran (the Word of God)

There is an English film about a Christian family whose daughter has been demonized
They sent it to the churches for healing and they could not
The monk told them to send her to a Muslim scolar in Saudi Arabia
He read the Koran and the evil spirit came out of her

I want to test the truth of the allegations through experience
But without making spiritual sacrifices
Because it is like paying a bribe to the evil spirit in order to go

I mean by just reading the holy words of each religion and knowing the actual results of the test in the infected spiritual human

The protection verses you learn in Islam will protect as a Muslim that i am sure of
But the verse i put here was from Buddhist teaching, and mainly for Buddhists to understand, But when used right it will protect everyone who listen to it

I hope there will be a cultural exchange to communicate and open bridges to understand each other
