It prevents rebirth in Avici, the heaviest of hells.
Whoever sees, hears, remembers, or touches this mantra will be purified of all negativities and gain freedom from rebirth in the lower realms—from the Ksitigarbha Dasacakra Sutra.
The Lotus Pinnacle of Amoghapasha mantra is also included in the collection of the Five Powerful Mantras for Liberating Sentient Beings from the Lower Realms, and the Ten Powerful Mantras for the Time of Death.
