Just by hearing His name or regarding the practice, one can be liberated from Vajra Hell, what more the three lower realms
Through it, the dead - our ancestors, relatives or friends are liberated to attain the pure land or happy realms of existence. In fact, the benefits should not only extended to the people we know or are aware of, it is also exceedingly beneficial to our karmic debtors, suffering spirits and all sentient beings.
