As fr the amount to recite, it would be best to say the mantra

unti there are signs that your obscurations are gone, you feel
confident of that and the tathagatas have acknowledged it.
The medium amount would be one milon tmes, and the
lesser amount would be one hundred thousand four
hundred thousand tmes. In general, whatever amount you
say-such as one hundred, one thousand, or ten thousand
wil bring the corresponding amount of connection and benefit.

This teaching frm Padmakara, the second Buddha, is a
prfound terma of the great teron Jangchub Gyaltsen. This
text was arranged by the first Jamgon Kongtrul, the master of
the Five Treasuries, and adapted by Shri (Khenchen Pa/den
Sherab). Thrugh this, may al karma and obscurations by
purified. (What flows is an added verse of praise to
Akshobhya, which comes frm the tantras.)
On a powerul vajra elephant thrne,
Is the vajra mind of mirrr-like wisdom,
The blue vajra, the buddha who subdues the mars.
Vajra Akshobhya, I prstrate to you.
