@ReadingFaithfully_org It would be wonderful to live in close proximity to such a helpful #spirit. I'm curious: Do you know of any canonical references to anyone summoning or otherwise asking for the help of such #devatā on purpose? Or maybe guidelines for what to do so that #spirits willingly come to provide assistance or #protection? I know there's at least one #Pali #chant for inviting #devas to listen to the #chanting that follows, but I wonder if there's anything else like that.

The whole chapter (SN9) has stories like this one of devas helping monks. Of note, though is the last sutta, https://suttacentral.net/sn9.14/en/sujato
