Mipham Rinpoche says:

It is said in several sūtras that merely hearing the name of our teacher, the Buddha, ensures that one will gradually progress along the path to great enlightenment, without ever falling back. It is also said that the dhāraṇī revealed above is the source of all the buddhas. It was through the force of discovering this dhāraṇī that the King of Śākyas himself attained enlightenment, and that Avalokiteśvara became the supreme of all the bodhisattvas. Through simply hearing this dhāraṇī, a vast accumulation of merit will easily be gained and all karmic obscurations will be purified, and when it is recited, obstacles will not occur. This has been taught in the Abridged Prajñāpāramitā. Other teachings say that by reciting this dhāraṇī only once, all the harmful actions you have committed throughout eight hundred billion kalpas will be purified. They say that it possesses boundless qualities such as these and is the sacred heart-essence of Buddha Śākyamuni.
