Reciting sutras benefits oneself and one's family and represents spreading the teachings of the Buddhadharma. It can also benefit other sentient beings who are hearing the recitation. Its ultimate purpose is that we observe the teachings of the sutra and act accordingly.
Personally for me, after reciting Om Mani Padme Hum, my desire to eat meat and seafood has reduced. Before I recite the mantra, every week I would indulge in fried prawns and seafood. Now I feel guilty if I eat meat. So for me, reciting mantra reduce my desire for meat. Now I eat more vegetables instead.
