Arya Ekadasa-Mukha Dharani 十一面观自在菩萨真言 | Eleven-Faced Avalokiteśvara Heart Dharani Sutra 佛說十一面觀世音神咒經

The "Eleven faced Avalokiteśvara" is a form of Avalokiteśvara bodhisattva with eleven heads.
The sutra contains the Heart-dhāraṇī of Avalokiteśvara-ekadaśamukha. In the sutra, the Buddha introduces and discussed how to practice the dhāraṇī and talks about the benefits and the incredible power of this dhāraṇī.

Ten main benefits:

One's body will be free from illness.
One will be constantly remembered by the Buddhas of the ten directions.
All wealth, clothing, and food will naturally be abundant without lack.
One will be able to defeat all enemies.
One will instill compassion in all sentient beings.
No poison or fever will be able to harm one.
No weapons will be able to injure one.
One will not be swept away by water-related disasters.
One will not be burned by fire-related disasters.
One will not experience untimely death.

Four additional results in this life:

At the time of death, one will see the Buddhas of the ten directions.
One will never fall into the hells.
One will not be harmed by any wild beasts.
After death, one will be reborn in the Land of Infinite Life (Amitābha's Pure Land).
Furthermore, the sutra also promises the state of Avinivartaniya (non-retrogression on the path of the bodhisattva, meaning one will not fall back to an earlier state of spiritual development).
