[«previous next»] — Karmasiddhi in Mahayana glossary

Karmasiddhi (कर्मसिद्धि) refers to “success for (all) deeds”, according to the Vajratuṇḍasamayakalparāja, an ancient Buddhist ritual manual on agriculture from the 5th-century (or earlier), containing various instructions for the Sangha to provide agriculture-related services to laypeople including rain-making, weather control and crop protection.—Accordingly, [as the Bhagavān teaches the offering manual of the root-heart] “[...] There will not be hostile Nāgas in that Nāga family thereafter. They send down rain showers duly at the proper time. They ripen crops duly at the proper time. They ripen leaves, flowers, fruits, foliage and so on. They will not cause misfortune again. This great dhāraṇī succeeds when recited. It should be used in all deeds, there is success for all deeds (sarva-karmasiddhi), the highest unrivalled success”.
