Common Mahayana Mantras
What are some common Mahayana Mantras that are shared between many different mahayana paths?

"However hard it may be to bid farewell to this world, when the conditions that bind us to this saha [samsara] realm run out, we are powerless to do anything as the final hour arrives and we are swept away to that Land." -A Record in Lament of Divergences
