Hello All,

I just posted this on DW and was hoping to get some responses here as well. I recently heard of at least two different people who, during their meditations (non-Buddhist) , were accosted by malevolent entities. Although I never thought of it until I heard of these people's experiences I was wondering if the "Namo tassa"s, the vandanas and the refuges I customarily recite before my meditations have any protective effect. The idea that this may be so is not unheard of in the tradition (take for example the Paritta chants and suttas like the Ratana sutta) but I was wondering if anyone had heard of anything concrete. Sukhitaa hontu!
