The Mahayana Sutra Dispelling the Darkness of the Ten Directions (Skt. daśadigandhakāravidhvaṃsanasūtra; Tib. འཕགས་པ་ཕྱོགས་བཅུའི་མུན་སེལ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ།, Wyl. phyogs bcu'i mun sel gyi mdo) — a sutra found in the General Sutra section of the Tibetan Kangyur (Toh 269). There exists a longer and a shorter version. This sutra is also included in the Dharani Collection as it is often recited to bring success, remove obstacles and protect from harm. It is often combined with the Gyaltsen Tsemo dharani, and the Noble Stack of Auspiciousness Sutra.
