The Shurangama mantra was based on the opening chapter of the Surangama sutra. It was said that Gautama Buddha transmitted to Manjusri to protect Ananda.
I can't explain why but I enjoy listening to this mantra.
From youtube Shurangama Mantra In Sanskrit
The Shurangama Mantra , 古梵音楞嚴咒 (房山石經) is a dharaṇi or long mantra of Buddhist practice in China, Japan and Korea. Although relatively unknown in modern Tibet, there are several Shurangama Mantra texts in the Tibetan Buddhist canon. It is associated with Tangmi and Shingon Buddhism.
The Mantra was according to the opening chapter of the Śūraṅgama Sūtra, historically transmitted by Gautama Buddha to Manjusri to protect Ananda before he became an arahant. It was again spoken by the Buddha before an assembly of monks and lay adherents.
