According to the Surangama Sutra, one day the Venerable Ananda was approached by a lowest-caste woman, who used a mantra on him to lure him into her room. The bodhisattva Manjushri intervened, employing another, more powerful mantra to rele

ase Venerable Ananda from her charms. The woman eventually shaved her head, and upon hearing just one teaching from the Buddha, attained enlightenment.
To learn the Mantra, we need to practice the basic sounds like 'AH' for Amida Buddha properly and 'OM' and 'HUM' for Kwan Yin. Otherwise the effectiveness is not there and we are justing singing the mantra like a parrot.
