1. Om Mani Padme Hum
- This is the most beneficial mantra .  there is a lot of danger can be avoided is you recite this mantra on daily basis.

2.  White Umbrella Goddess Mantra
mantra : om sarva tathagata usnisha sitata-patre hum peh hum mama hum ni soha (one mala)
video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uR5mjeZF_w
quoted from "chant a mantra book" from Lilian Too. this book is for free and you only need to pay for the delivery charges. if it is possible you should have one and keep it in your house as the book itself can bring blessings to your area.
- White umbrella goddess helps to protect one from natural disaster, over 60 kind of spirits class , and all kind of misfortune.  good for travelling protection and said to help to counteract black magic/curses/ spell as well.
- chances of getting a job / career is higher.help with legal/law issue . help purify karma of being wrongly accused.
- personally i felt reciting this mantra may help one to know the "absolute truth" of certain situation through self realization (though it maybe much harsher feeling when knowing the truth). There are people who like this mantra because it is like having an umbrella (protection/heaven blessings) above you while it is raining (facing difficulties/misfortune)  .
- This is one mantra that is so protective that people may go all their way out to make sure your white umbrella goddess amulet/picture being steal/taken away. so if you are working in a very competitive(cut throat) environment and there are people who had reason to not mean you well or deceptions are going around, you may find White Umbrella Goddess can help protect you on many possible dangers. in fact it is when the king of heaven being under attack by army , it is White Umbrella Goddess Umbrella that shielded the entire palace from being attack. which is why this mantra is believe to help protect one from war too. 
- a very protective mantra that can even help pacify war and conflict. and white umbrella goddess provide a very strong protection that can turn the enemy away.

3. Shanti Mantra
Mantra  : Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
-  the mantra mean " Om Peace Peace Peace " therefore it help lessen noise pollution or disturbances coming from noisy neighbourhood and so on.

4. The King Of Glorious Sutras called the Exalted Sublime Golden Light

5. Kalachakra

Mantra :  Om Ha Ka Ma La Wa La Ya Soha (chinese version)
- Kalachakra basically mean time wheel in tibet (in chinese version it has a different name) . basically kalachakra is a teaching which buddha pass to a king which help this king reach enlightened stage. Although this is a very powerful mantra, the general teaching(description) of this mantra has lost to us leaving only the mantra word itself. as far as i have checked on other websites , this kalachakra mantra is related to time , astrological such as planet movement and therefore it can prevent untimely death (for example a tree branch / furniture fall down itself and kill a being who happen to be underneath it) and heal certain aspect of our psychology disorder . Kalachakra can also heal affliction , generate positive energy to the land (thus can lessen the power of killing force in feng shui aspect ) , prevent general bad intention of other people such as thief or robber from coming near you (seem to me is that it is through by lessening the possibilty of they coming near you and even if they do, their stay will be shorter ). However, enemy inside a blanket and their evil plot may still slip through other means.
- there is a downside of reciting this mantra (according to other sources) , so i recommend those who recite this mantra to also recite amitabha mantra together.  otherwise you can consider display kalachakra symbolic picture in your home (available in stupa form , pendant and also wallet card size).  Most of the explanation of kalachakra here come from various website sources plus with my own observation so it may not be entirely correct .  You may want to double check again this mantra and its blessings descirption yourself.  
- in chinese version according to lian sheng buddha , kalachakra mean 10 aspect of our life.

7.VaishravanaMantra: Om Vaishravana Ye Soha   (source: http://resources.tsemtulku.com/buddhas/dharma-protectors/vaishravana.html ) . mantra should be pronounce correctly as there will be very bad consequences if pronounce wrongly.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KADEN09TN7M&list=PLjUJNKDN2ecAZ-69Oqf3jW6Oi9NR9jaKb&index=11
- vaishravana is the northern king and also a dharma protector who brings wealth to the practitioner. he helps to attract material wealth that eventually attract spiritual wealth and also encourage holding of ethics as it is through ethics that wealth can be obtain in the long run.
- vairhsrava/namthose puja : if you can get connect with vaishravana puja , it is said to help recovery of world economy, for the individual to gain economic strength, secure existing wealth, garner new wealth and potent protection from human and non-human harms and that of nagas and spirits. it even protection from fear, anxiety , failures in business and relationships. by making connection with namthose, one will always be victorious especially those who run companies, organisation and families because namthose puja bring authority and good fortune.

Author note: this is so far the only one dharma protector which i manage to found the sutra that has conversation between vaishravana and buddha shakyamuni. but it also interesting that i found out that xinjiang, a tibet prince and thailand in the past has actually invoke vaisharavana to protect their country border from invasion before in which xinjiang and thailand has said to build a temple (i thinks temple that dedicate to vaishravana) because of the success in defending their country.   and also it is said that in the past life of vaishravana was a mill owner who has 7 mill store and dedicated one of his mill for the alms to the monks while providing to those in need for 20,000 years.

8.  Yamantaka
Mantra: Om Yamantaka Hum Phet
video: couldn't find any suitable one.

- yamantaka dharma protector is said be able to cause evil being to accept buddhism .
- help to counter fierce spirit and black magic.
Author note:  the only info i found about yamantaka is that originally in the past, there was a saint who are suppose to be living in a cave. when the saint leave his cave, he happen to see two thief who stole and kill a cow. the saint beg the thieves to spare his life but those thieves did not listen and kill the saint . In response of that killing by the thieves the saint suddenly took the cow head and replace it as his head and then kill the two thief. and because of this, the saint has awaken the desire of killing and threaten to kill the entire village who are living there. the villager pray to manjushri for help and manjushri came to help by manifesting yamantaka which has buffalo head and in blue colour and defeat the saint.
yamantaka is also said to help cut off  one from suffering tremendously in future .  and there is another comment by reader which i read from the internet which is said that there was a person who was working/travelling on a ship. then at one time, the person happen to fell into the sea. however while he was in the sea sinking, he felt a gentle power push him up to the surface. he was save ten and then found out that his wife has put a yamantaka ruel in his bag before he leave for the ship.
- if you are considering going deeper or advance deeper into yamantaka retreat . best to find and check with a recognize and authentic temple as it is said that usually one will need to recite kalarupa dharma protector before going for yamantaka.

*.Shurangama mantra
- seem to be very important and require to follow strict guideline and precepts to recite this. shurangama is very important that it can make sure heaven and earth will not be destroy.   
hopefully i will get to check on this mantra in future. 
http://www.dharmabliss.org/Marrow%20of%20Buddhism.html
http://usnisa-shurangama.com/?page_id=107 (seem to me this is the most complete shurangama mantra and video with exact word).
http://www.cttbusa.org/dharmatalks/shurangamamantra2.asp
- still checking the shurangama sutra itself .
- and seem to be promote vegetarian lifestyle other than promote season weather.

*cut down on using i , me and mine. as it is because of the thought  , words that promote self that causes a group to be divide . This is rather subtle influence but it can cause one to be always on war mode because of the self ego (in buddhism , the existence of self is actually nothing more than an illusion just like a mirage oasis, where a traveller thought there is an oasis in a dessert but  when the traveller reach there, it is just a mirage, an illusion). the other one that can start a war is out of the three poison ; ignorance, greed and anger. 


important reading for future generation:
kalachakra associate with peace
http://www.buddhistchannel.tv/index.php?id=8,7938,0,0,1,0#.VG9jwWeURkg
Author note: kalachakra prophesy indicate that there will be a war against dark force (my understanding is that this dark force cause everyone living in fear and suffering) which will happen in 2424 and helps will be coming from outer space by the shambala force (wheel turning king force). the interesting part is that this war isn't only happening in this earth. so it could be something like a universe/galaxy war . and how to avert this war.

http://www.gemsofyogadubai.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=21&Itemid=117
This is another interpration of kalachakra. and how the war prophesy by kalachakra mention that the war started from internal mental and emotional struggle that result in war , violence....
http://fpmt.org/mandala/archives/mandala-issues-for-2005/october/kalachakra-tantra/
- there is other site about kalachakra that warn the danger of only the expert know such as astronomy . if someone change something in the table for example, no one will notice about it.

*All credits of the information in this page & post goes to the respective author and publisher provided in the source link.

*consider going for mala bead . a standard mala bead should consist of minimum 108 beads (that represent 108 types of worry ,  some mala had additional beads for error or mistakes in your recitation )  . therefore it is good as helping you to remember how many you have recited . mala bracelet is also good but you may from time to time lost count of how many you have recited and had to restart all over again. as for the proper way of using mala and wearing it and taking care of your mala beads, its best that you get advice from proper instructors. you may want to consider ask a guru or monk in temple to bless your mala. The more you recite, the more your mala protective powers will grow to the point it can become a very strong protective talisman.

*Do remember to blow your mala bracelet after you completed your recitation for the day as symbolic for your personal protection.

*You may need another mantra which is call heruka vajrayogini mantra which helps to make your mala blessings get stronger as we are living in a degenerative time (meaning negative karma getting stronger with each passing time) . This mantra is said to be the more degenerative it is, the more powerful this mantra will be.

* if one face obstacle while reciting mantra, the solution is to do sur offering to wandering ghost. another option is to light an incense (such as sandalwood incense, where spirits obtain their food through smell) and put it on the windows side , or outside one house as charity food to wandering ghost. then obstacle one is facing will be dispel. therefore buddhist are being encourage to do sur offering before they start their daily mantra practise .
