Homage to the Three Jewels.

May all buddhas grant their protection!
I pay homage to supreme awakening;
May all noble ones grant their protection!
I pay homage to the supreme vajra;
May all knowledge granters grant their protection!
I pay homage to all the gods of the pure god realms;
May all protectors grant their protection!
I pay homage to the gods in the heavens;
May the lords of the three worlds grant their protection!
To all those who rule over the three realms of existence
I pay homage and offer worship;
Grant your compassionate blessings
To my five aggregates and limbs!

The essence-mantra of that is said to be:

oṁ kara kara svāhā kuru kuru svāhā bhara bhara svāhā bhuru bhuru svāhā dhara dhara svāhā dhuru dhuru svāhā cara cara svāhā curu curu svāhā

Protect my five aggregates and limbs
From inauspicious years and inauspicious months,
Inauspicious days and inauspicious days of the week,⁸
Inauspicious planets and inauspicious stars,
Inauspicious daytimes and inauspicious nighttimes,
Inauspicious middays,
Inauspicious mornings and inauspicious evenings,
Inauspicious cardinal directions and inauspicious intermediary directions,
Possession by the five ghosts,⁹ and inauspicious divinations.¹⁰
Grant protection from all of these!

The essence-mantra of that is said to be:

oṁ prajñe prajñe prajñe avalokiradhati mani susiddhi ārya jvala nāma mañjuye svāhā

May my five aggregates and limbs,
Despite being subjected to darkness
From violence¹¹ and malevolent female spirits;¹²
From the onset of coughs and difficult illnesses;
From obstacle years, obstacle months, obstacle days,
Obstacle days of the week and the like;
