Also known as Sarvatathāgatāyurvajrahṛdaya-dhāraṇī and often incorrectly labeled the Amitayus Dharani — here, beautifully chanted by Buddha Weekly with the Amitabha root mantra 7 times, and then, the long Dharani.
Namo ratnatrayāya

Tadyathā: oṃ amṛte amṛtodbhave
amṛtasaṃbhave amṛtagarbhe
amṛtasiddhe amṛtateje
amṛtavikrānte amṛtavikrāntagāmini

Aum, brum, hum
In English (more or less): Homage to the Three Jewels, Homage to the noble Amitabha (Infinite Light), to the Tathāgata, the Arhat, the completely and perfectly awakened one (samyaksambuddha). Thus: Oṃ O immortality (amrta), O maker of immortality! O born of immortality! O essence/embryo (garbha) of immortality! O immortality perfecting one! O the brilliance (teja) of immortality! O he who goes beyond immortality! O he who goes beyond immortality and whose glory is infinite as the sky (amṛtagaganakīrtikare) O sound of the drum of immortality realizing (sadhane) benefit for all. O he who destroys (ksayam) all karmic afflictions. Hail!
