觀虛空藏菩薩經
宋罽賓三藏曇摩蜜多譯
如是我聞：
一時，佛住佉陀羅山，依正覺仙人所住之處，與千二百五十比丘俱。賢劫千菩薩彌勒為首。
爾時，長老優波離，即從坐起，整衣服，為佛作禮，白佛言：「世尊先於功德經中，說虛空藏菩薩摩訶薩名，能除一切惡不善業，治王旃陀羅乃至沙門旃陀羅，諸惡律儀，如此惡事若欲治，當云何觀虛空藏菩薩？設得見者，云何共住布薩僧事？若優婆塞破五戒、犯八戒齋，出家比丘、比丘尼、沙彌、沙彌尼、式叉摩尼犯四重禁，在家菩薩毀六重法，出家菩薩犯八重禁，如是過人，世尊先於毗尼中說，決定驅儐，如大石破。今於此經說大悲虛空藏能救諸苦，及說咒以除罪咎。設有此人，云何知之？以何為證？惟愿天尊！分別解說。」
佛告優波離：「汝及未來世一切善持毗尼者，應當教此犯罪眾生，安慰其意。世尊大慈弘誓無量，不捨一切，于深功德經說治罪法，名決定毗尼。有三十五佛，救世大悲，汝當敬禮。汝敬禮時，當著慚愧衣，如眼生瘡深生愧恥，如癩病人，隨良醫教。汝亦如是，應生慚愧。既慚愧已，一日乃至七日，禮十方佛，稱三
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 如是我聞： 一時，佛陀住在佉陀羅山（Khara Mountain），在正覺仙人（Enlightened Sage）居住的地方，與一千二百五十位比丘在一起。賢劫（Bhadrakalpa）的千位菩薩以彌勒菩薩（Maitreya Bodhisattva）為首。 當時，長老優波離（Upali）即從座位上站起來，整理好衣服，向佛陀行禮，稟告佛陀說：『世尊，您先前在《功德經》中，說過虛空藏菩薩摩訶薩（Akasagarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva）的名號，能消除一切惡不善業，能治理國王旃陀羅（Chandala，賤民）乃至沙門旃陀羅（Shramana Chandala，出家賤民）的各種惡劣行為。如果想要治理這些惡事，應當如何觀想虛空藏菩薩？如果能夠見到他，又應當如何一起進行布薩（Posadha，僧團懺悔儀式）等僧團事務？如果優婆塞（Upasaka，在家男居士）破了五戒、犯了八關齋戒，出家的比丘（Bhiksu）、比丘尼（Bhiksuni）、沙彌（Sramanera）、沙彌尼（Sramanerika）、式叉摩尼（Siksamana）犯了四重禁，在家的菩薩（Bodhisattva）毀了六重法，出家的菩薩犯了八重禁，像這樣犯過錯的人，世尊您先前在《毗尼》（Vinaya，戒律）中說過，要堅決驅逐，如同大石破裂。現在在這部經中說大悲虛空藏菩薩能救度各種苦難，並且說咒語可以消除罪過。如果有這樣的人，應當如何瞭解他？以什麼作為證明？唯愿天尊！分別解說。』 佛陀告訴優波離：『你和未來世一切善於持守毗尼的人，應當教導這些犯了罪的眾生，安慰他們的心意。世尊的大慈悲心和弘大誓願是無量的，不捨棄一切眾生。在《深功德經》中說的治理罪過的方法，叫做決定毗尼。有三十五佛，以大悲心救度世間，你們應當恭敬禮拜。你們在禮拜時，應當穿著慚愧衣，就像眼睛生瘡一樣深感羞愧，就像麻風病人一樣，聽從良醫的教導。你們也應當這樣，生起慚愧之心。在生起慚愧心之後，從一天到七天，禮拜十方佛，稱念三寶名號，懺悔罪過。』
【English Translation】 English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Khara Mountain, at the place where the Enlightened Sage resided, together with twelve hundred and fifty Bhikshus. The thousand Bodhisattvas of the Bhadrakalpa were led by Maitreya Bodhisattva. At that time, the elder Upali rose from his seat, arranged his robes, bowed to the Buddha, and said to the Buddha: 『World Honored One, you previously mentioned in the Sutra of Merits the name of Akasagarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva, who can eliminate all evil and unwholesome deeds, and can govern the Chandala (outcast) kings and even the Shramana Chandalas (outcast monks), and their various evil behaviors. If one wishes to rectify these evil deeds, how should one contemplate Akasagarbha Bodhisattva? If one is able to see him, how should one conduct Posadha (monastic confession ceremony) and other monastic affairs together? If an Upasaka (layman) breaks the five precepts, violates the eight precepts of fasting, if a Bhikshu (monk), Bhiksuni (nun), Sramanera (novice monk), Sramanerika (novice nun), or Siksamana (probationary nun) commits the four grave offenses, if a Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva) at home violates the six grave dharmas, if a Bodhisattva who has left home violates the eight grave offenses, such transgressors, as the World Honored One previously stated in the Vinaya (monastic code), should be resolutely expelled, like a large stone being broken. Now, in this sutra, it is said that the compassionate Akasagarbha Bodhisattva can save all sufferings, and that mantras can eliminate transgressions. If there are such people, how should one know them? What should be the proof? May the Heavenly Honored One please explain this in detail.』 The Buddha said to Upali: 『You and all those in the future who uphold the Vinaya well should teach these beings who have committed offenses, and comfort their minds. The World Honored One』s great compassion and vast vows are immeasurable, and he does not abandon any beings. In the Sutra of Profound Merits, the method of governing transgressions is called the decisive Vinaya. There are thirty-five Buddhas, who save the world with great compassion, and you should respectfully bow to them. When you bow, you should wear the clothes of shame, feeling deep shame as if your eyes were festering, like a leper following the instructions of a good doctor. You should also be like this, generating a sense of shame. After generating shame, for one to seven days, bow to the Buddhas of the ten directions, recite the names of the Three Jewels, and repent of your transgressions.』
十五佛名，別稱大悲虛空藏菩薩名。澡浴身體，燒眾名香，堅黑沉水。明星出時，長跪合掌，悲泣雨淚，稱虛空藏，白言：『大德、大悲菩薩，愍念我故，為我現身。』
「爾時，當起是想：是虛空藏菩薩頂上有如意珠，其如意珠作紫金色。若見如意珠，即見天冠。此天冠中，有三十五佛像現，如意珠中十方佛像現。虛空藏菩薩身長二十由旬，若現大身，與觀世音等。此菩薩結加趺坐，手捉如意珠王，其如意珠演眾法音與毗尼合。
「若此菩薩！憐愍眾生故，作比丘像及一切色像，若於夢中若坐禪時，以摩尼珠印，印彼人臂，印文有除罪字，得此字已，還入僧中，如本說戒。若優婆塞得此字者，不障出家，設不得此字，便使空中有聲唱言：『罪滅罪滅。』若無空聲使知毗尼者，夢見虛空藏菩薩，告言：『毗尼薩毗尼薩，某甲比丘、某甲優婆塞，更令懺悔。』一日乃至七七日禮三十五佛，虛空藏菩薩力故，汝罪輕微。知法者！復教令涂治圊廁，經八百日。日日告言：『汝作不凈事，汝今一心涂一切廁，莫令人知。涂已澡浴，禮三十五佛，稱虛空藏。向十二部經，五體投地，說汝過惡。』如是懺悔，復經三七日。爾時，智者應集親厚，于佛像前，稱三十五佛名，稱文殊師利、稱賢劫菩薩，為其作證，更白羯磨
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 這是十五位佛的名號，又被稱為大悲虛空藏菩薩的名號。沐浴身體，焚燒各種名貴的香，如堅黑沉水香。當啟明星出現時，長跪合掌，悲傷哭泣，稱念虛空藏菩薩的名號，並說道：『大德、大悲菩薩，請您憐憫我，爲了我而顯現您的身形。』 那時，應當這樣觀想：虛空藏菩薩的頭頂上有一顆如意寶珠，這顆如意寶珠呈現紫金色。如果見到如意寶珠，就等於見到了天冠。在這天冠中，有三十五尊佛像顯現，如意寶珠中則顯現十方佛像。虛空藏菩薩的身長有二十由旬（古印度長度單位），如果顯現大身，就和觀世音菩薩一樣。這位菩薩結跏趺坐，手中拿著如意寶珠王，這顆如意寶珠會發出各種與毗尼（戒律）相合的法音。 如果這位菩薩因為憐憫眾生的緣故，會化現為比丘的形象以及一切其他的形象，無論是在夢中還是在坐禪時，都會用摩尼寶珠印，在那個人的手臂上蓋印，印文上有『除罪』的字樣。得到這個字后，就可以回到僧團中，按照原本的戒律生活。如果優婆塞（在家男居士）得到這個字，就不會障礙他出家。如果沒得到這個字，就會使空中發出聲音說：『罪滅罪滅。』如果沒有空中的聲音，就讓知道毗尼的人，夢見虛空藏菩薩，告訴他說：『毗尼薩毗尼薩（戒律，戒律），某某比丘、某某優婆塞，要讓他再次懺悔。』一天乃至七七四十九天禮拜三十五佛，因為虛空藏菩薩的力量，你的罪業就會減輕。知道佛法的人，再教他去塗抹清理廁所，經過八百天。每天都告訴他說：『你做了不凈的事情，你現在要一心塗抹所有的廁所，不要讓人知道。』塗抹完后沐浴，禮拜三十五佛，稱念虛空藏菩薩的名號。面向十二部經，五體投地，說出你的過錯。這樣懺悔，再經過二十一天。那時，智者應當召集親近的人，在佛像前，稱念三十五佛的名號，稱念文殊師利菩薩、稱念賢劫菩薩，為他作證，再進行羯磨（僧團的儀式）。
【English Translation】 English version These are the names of fifteen Buddhas, also known as the names of the Great Compassionate Akasagarbha Bodhisattva. Bathe the body, burn various precious incenses, such as solid black agarwood. When the morning star appears, kneel with palms together, weep with sorrow, recite the name of Akasagarbha, and say: 『Great Virtuous, Great Compassionate Bodhisattva, please have mercy on me and manifest your form for my sake.』 At that time, one should contemplate this: on the crown of Akasagarbha Bodhisattva's head is a wish-fulfilling jewel, which is purple-gold in color. If one sees the wish-fulfilling jewel, it is equivalent to seeing the heavenly crown. Within this heavenly crown, thirty-five Buddha images appear, and in the wish-fulfilling jewel, Buddha images from the ten directions appear. Akasagarbha Bodhisattva's body is twenty yojanas (an ancient Indian unit of length) long. If he manifests a large body, he is like Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. This Bodhisattva sits in the lotus position, holding the wish-fulfilling jewel king in his hand. This wish-fulfilling jewel emits various Dharma sounds that are in accordance with the Vinaya (monastic rules). If this Bodhisattva, out of compassion for sentient beings, transforms into the form of a Bhikkhu (monk) or any other form, whether in a dream or during meditation, he will use a Mani jewel seal to imprint on that person's arm. The imprint will have the words 『removing sin.』 After receiving this mark, one can return to the Sangha (monastic community) and live according to the original precepts. If an Upasaka (male lay practitioner) receives this mark, it will not hinder his ordination. If one does not receive this mark, a voice will be heard in the sky saying: 『Sin is extinguished, sin is extinguished.』 If there is no voice in the sky, then let someone who knows the Vinaya dream of Akasagarbha Bodhisattva, who will tell him: 『Vinaya, Vinaya (precepts, precepts), so-and-so Bhikkhu, so-and-so Upasaka, must repent again.』 For one day up to forty-nine days, prostrate to the thirty-five Buddhas. Because of the power of Akasagarbha Bodhisattva, your sins will be lessened. One who knows the Dharma should then instruct him to clean and plaster the latrines for eight hundred days. Every day, tell him: 『You have done impure deeds, now you must wholeheartedly clean all the latrines, and do not let anyone know.』 After cleaning, bathe, prostrate to the thirty-five Buddhas, and recite the name of Akasagarbha Bodhisattva. Facing the twelve divisions of scriptures, prostrate with five limbs touching the ground, and confess your faults. After repenting in this way, continue for another twenty-one days. At that time, a wise person should gather close friends, in front of the Buddha image, recite the names of the thirty-five Buddhas, recite the names of Manjusri Bodhisattva, and recite the names of the Bodhisattvas of the Bhadrakalpa, to bear witness for him, and then perform the Karma (Sangha ritual).
，如前受戒法。此人因苦行力故，罪業永除，不障三種菩提業。」
佛告優波離：「汝持是觀虛空藏法，為未來世無慚愧眾生、多犯惡者廣分別說。」
說是語時，時虛空藏菩薩，結加趺坐，放金色光，如意珠中見三十五佛已，白佛言：「世尊！我此如意珠寶從首楞嚴出，是故眾生見珠者，得如意自在。」
爾時，世尊敕優波離：「汝持此經，不得為多眾廣說。但為一人持毗尼者，為未來世無眼目眾生，作眼目故，慎莫忘失。」
時，優波離聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。◎
◎右觀虛空藏菩薩經，按《開元錄》，系是單譯，止有二紙。經后舊尚有八紙經文，準校勘大藏竹堂講師批，該是後人採集虛空藏經咒，並諸經中佛名及咒，以為勸世修行法，不可連在觀虛空藏經后，下竺本及福本皆無。
又按此經，世尊先於深功德經說治罪法，名決定毗尼。有三十五佛者，即出《寶積經》第九十卷〈優波離會〉，與《決定毗尼經》同本，余文皆例此。然詳觀所批理，亦可以意會，徒存似是，姑為刪之。

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：如同之前接受戒律的方法一樣。這個人因為苦行的力量，罪業永遠消除，不會障礙三種菩提的修行。 佛陀告訴優波離（Upali，佛陀十大弟子之一，持戒第一）說：『你受持這個觀虛空藏（Akasagarbha，菩薩名，意為虛空之藏）的方法，為未來世那些沒有慚愧心、多犯惡行的眾生廣泛地分別解說。』 當佛陀說這些話的時候，當時的虛空藏菩薩，結跏趺坐，放出金色的光芒，在如意寶珠中顯現出三十五佛之後，對佛陀說：『世尊！我這如意寶珠是從首楞嚴（Surangama，一種禪定）中出現的，因此眾生見到這寶珠的人，就能得到如意自在。』 這時，世尊告誡優波離說：『你受持這部經，不要為眾多的人廣泛宣說。只為一位持守毗尼（Vinaya，戒律）的人說，爲了未來世那些沒有眼目的眾生，作為他們的眼目，要謹慎不要忘記。』 當時，優波離聽聞佛陀所說，歡喜地奉行。 右邊是《觀虛空藏菩薩經》，根據《開元錄》記載，這是一部單獨翻譯的經典，只有兩張紙。經文後面舊時還有八張紙的經文，根據校勘大藏竹堂講師的批註，應該是後人收集的虛空藏經咒，以及其他經典中的佛名和咒語，作為勸世修行的法門，不應該連線在《觀虛空藏經》之後，下竺本和福本都沒有這些內容。 又根據這部經，世尊先前在《深功德經》中說了治理罪業的方法，名為決定毗尼。其中有三十五佛，出自《寶積經》第九十卷〈優波離會〉，與《決定毗尼經》同本，其餘的文字都與此類似。然而詳細觀察所批註的道理，也可以意會，只是徒有相似之處，姑且刪去。 阿彌隸奢阿彌隸奢迦留尼迦(一) 遮羅遮羅毗遮羅珊遮羅迦留尼迦(二) 羅茂羅羅茂羅毗伽陀隸(三) 摩懵呿復阇摩那迦留尼迦(四) 真陀摩尼富羅栘迦留尼迦(五) 薩婆阿奢彌
【English Translation】 English version: Just like the previous method of receiving precepts. This person, due to the power of ascetic practices, will have their karmic offenses permanently removed, and will not be hindered in the three Bodhi (enlightenment) practices. The Buddha told Upali (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha, foremost in upholding the precepts): 『You should uphold this method of contemplating Akasagarbha (a Bodhisattva, meaning 'the treasury of space'), and widely explain it to the shameless beings of the future world who commit many evil deeds.』 When the Buddha spoke these words, the Bodhisattva Akasagarbha, sitting in full lotus posture, emitted golden light, and after seeing the thirty-five Buddhas in the wish-fulfilling jewel, said to the Buddha: 『World Honored One! This wish-fulfilling jewel of mine comes from the Surangama (a kind of Samadhi), therefore, those beings who see this jewel will obtain wish-fulfilling freedom.』 At that time, the World Honored One instructed Upali: 『You should uphold this sutra, but do not widely preach it to many people. Only preach it to one person who upholds the Vinaya (precepts), and for the sake of those beings in the future world who have no eyes, be their eyes, and be careful not to forget it.』 At that time, Upali, hearing what the Buddha had said, joyfully practiced it. To the right is the 'Sutra of Contemplating the Bodhisattva Akasagarbha'. According to the 'Kaiyuan Record', it is a separately translated scripture, with only two sheets of paper. There were formerly eight sheets of scripture after the text, which, according to the annotations of the lecturer Zhutang of the Tripitaka, are likely later collections of the Akasagarbha mantras, as well as the names of Buddhas and mantras from other scriptures, intended as methods to encourage worldly practice, and should not be connected to the 'Sutra of Contemplating Akasagarbha'. The lower Zhushu and Fu versions do not contain these. Furthermore, according to this sutra, the World Honored One previously spoke in the 'Sutra of Profound Merit' about methods for dealing with offenses, called the 'Definitive Vinaya'. The thirty-five Buddhas mentioned are from the 90th volume of the 'Ratnakuta Sutra', 'Upali Assembly', which is the same source as the 'Definitive Vinaya Sutra'. The rest of the text is similar. However, upon detailed observation of the annotated principles, one can also understand the meaning, but it is merely similar, so it is temporarily deleted.

This great virtuous man will appear in a dream at night, taking the form of a Brahmin, and appear before that person.

In the dream at night, before the sick person, he will truthfully describe various remedies and decoctions suitable for the illness. Upon taking one dose, the illness will be completely cured, with no trace remaining. Furthermore, there are those who, in pursuit of their endeavors, wish to understand more about the meaning of the Dharma, or who, in a quiet place, wish to practice meditation, gain wisdom, achieve fame, acquire skillful techniques, attain freedom, receive a wonderful title, gain power, obtain wealth and ability, acquire a beautiful voice, have children, gain family members, acquire merit, practice giving, uphold precepts, practice patience, diligence, and meditation. They wish to obtain meaningful words, to be respected by others, to escape all calamities, to cease giving, and to abide in wisdom. They wish to have a long life, to obtain all the necessary tools, and to be able to use them. This person should pay homage to Akasagarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva (great Bodhisattva). If they are in an Aranya (quiet place), in a forest, or by the roadside, they should burn black, solid aloeswood or much Tagara incense, sincerely join their palms, prostrate with their five limbs touching the ground, pay homage in all ten directions, and recite the Dharani (mantra) verses. They will immediately obtain what they desire.

【English Translation】 English version Bao Wang (a Bodhisattva) said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, there are very many (such Buddhas)!' The Buddha said, 'It is better if someone recites and chants the names of these Buddhas of the ten directions, and respectfully bows in reverence. This person will be reborn in the family of a Chakravartin King (a king who rules the world) in every lifetime, with a dignified appearance and high virtue; when approaching death, hundreds of billions of Buddhas will extend their hands to receive them, ensuring they do not fall into the three evil realms (hell, hungry ghosts, animals). Even if someone has committed the five heinous offenses (killing one's father, killing one's mother, killing an Arhat, disrupting the Sangha, and shedding the blood of a Buddha) and should fall into hell, they can experience a minor retribution in this life, such as a headache that will be relieved, thus offsetting the karma and not falling into the three evil realms to suffer. Therefore, one should sincerely and respectfully bow in reverence.' (The Buddha) extensively expounded on the 'Bao Wang Child Sutra' in this way. The Buddha of Sumeru Lamp Light in the East, the Buddha of Treasure Store Adornment in the Southeast, the Buddha of Sandalwood Mani Light in the South, the Buddha of Golden Sea Sovereign King in the Southwest, the Buddha of Great Compassion Light King in the West, the Buddha of Utpala Lotus Victory in the Northwest, the Buddha of Lotus Adornment King in the North, the Buddha of Vajra Sovereign King in the Northeast, the Buddha of Supreme Moon King above, and the Buddha of Sun and Moon Light King below. 'Shariputra (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha)! If a Bodhisattva violates the initial precept (referring to the fundamental precepts of the Bodhisattva vows), they should sincerely and earnestly repent before the ten assemblies (referring to the ten types of monastic communities, such as monks and nuns); if they violate a precept with their hands, they should sincerely and earnestly repent before the five assemblies; if they touch a woman with their hands, see with their eyes and generate evil thoughts, or before one or two people, they should sincerely and earnestly repent. If a Bodhisattva commits the five unpardonable offenses, violates a woman, or violates a man, or commits offenses with their hands, violates a stupa, or violates the Sangha, and other such offenses. The Bodhisattva should, before the thirty-five Buddhas, sincerely repent for the serious offenses committed, alone day and night. The method of repentance is to take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, and take refuge in the Sangha.'

These fourteen Bodhisattvas, in the 'Lotus Sutra,' Bodhisattva Wonderful Sound came to desire to see the Buddha. If one recites and bows in reverence to them, one can obtain blessings in this life.

【English Translation】 English version The tenth portion of the Śarīra (Śarīra: Buddhist relics), is in the country of Rojana (Rojana: an ancient Indian kingdom). After the Buddha's initial passing, these ten stupas were erected. At that time, within the 280,000 li of Jambudvipa (Jambudvipa: the human realm in Buddhist cosmology), there were exactly ten stupas. Those who recite and pay homage to these stupas will gain immeasurable merit, and after abandoning their physical bodies, they will not fall into the three evil paths (three evil paths: hell, hungry ghosts, and animals). The four stupas in the heavens are: To the east of the city of Trayastrimsa Heaven (Trayastrimsa Heaven: one of the six heavens in the desire realm of Buddhism), in the Illuminating Garden, there is a stupa of the Buddha's hair. To the south of the city of Trayastrimsa Heaven, in the Coarse Garden, there is a stupa of the Buddha's robe. To the west of the city of Trayastrimsa Heaven, in the Joyful Garden, there is a stupa of the Buddha's bowl. To the north of the city of Trayastrimsa Heaven, in the Driving Garden, there is a stupa of the Buddha's tooth. The four stupas in the human realm are: The first is the Birth Stupa, located in the Lumbini Grove of Kapilavastu (Kapilavastu: the hometown of Shakyamuni Buddha) in the country of Kosala (Kosala: an ancient Indian kingdom). The second is the Enlightenment Stupa, located under the Bodhi tree in Gaya (Gaya: a Buddhist holy site) in the country of Magadha (Magadha: an ancient Indian kingdom). The third is the Turning of the Dharma Wheel Stupa, located in the Deer Park of Varanasi (Varanasi: a Buddhist holy site) in the country of Kashi (Kashi: an ancient Indian kingdom). The fourth is the Parinirvana Stupa, located between the twin trees in Kushinagar (Kushinagar: the place of Buddha's Parinirvana) in the country of Malla (Malla: an ancient Indian kingdom). These eight stupas in the human realm, reciting and paying homage to them can also bring blessings in this life.

My actions were false and unreal, and I committed various evil deeds beyond measure.'

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：淫亂荒唐，沒有道義，實在無法詳說。當時我愚癡無知，做出殘害父親、愛戀母親的惡行，經過數年，全國人民都知道了這件事。他們紛紛議論說：『這個遮他陀（Chetatha），殘害父親、愛戀母親，已經好幾年了。』我當時反思，覺得自己和六畜沒有區別，完全喪失了人性。於是我從加倫邏國（Kalunluo）跳城逃走，跑到深澤之中。 當時這個國王，名叫毗阇（Pizha），他命令全國人民說：『這個遮他陀，淫亂荒唐，沒有道義，才做出這種事。誰能抓住這個人，我將重賞寶物。』 當時，全國人民都接受了懸賞，想要抓捕我。我當時非常驚恐，就逃出國境，做了沙門（Shamen）。在其他國家修行十善，坐禪學道，晝夜哭泣。經過三十七年，因為五逆罪的障礙，內心無法安定，憂愁悲傷，無處可去。在這三十七年中，我住在山洞裡，常常大聲哭泣：『苦啊！苦啊！我該用什麼心才能擺脫這痛苦呢？』我悲嘆著走出山洞去乞食。 當時，我在路上撿到一個大缽，缽里有一個經匣。沒有其他經書，只有《集法悅舍苦陀羅尼》（Jifa Yueshe Ku Tuoluoni），經中說過去恒河沙數諸佛，在涅槃（Nirvana）時，常常在毗悅羅國（Piyueluo）宣說此陀羅尼，並將其託付給諸大菩薩。後來有人能聽到此陀羅尼，是因為此人過去世修持五戒、十善，才能有此機緣。有人雖然聽到了，卻不放在心上、不修習，這叫做沒有緣分。此陀羅尼，能消除百億劫生死輪迴的五逆大罪。如果有人受持讀誦，最終不會墮入三塗（Santu）、地獄（Diyu）、餓鬼（Eguni）、畜生（Chusheng）。為什麼呢？因為過去諸佛在即將涅槃時，都會宣說此陀羅尼。他們尊重讚歎，稱頌其功德，不可估量。將其託付給菩薩，後世眾生，如果能聽到此陀羅尼，並修習著心，其福報難以計算。就像須彌山（Xumi）和寶海一樣，凡夫無法衡量。如果有人造作各種
【English Translation】 English version: My conduct was licentious and immoral, beyond description. At that time, I was foolish and ignorant, harming my father and loving my mother. After several years, the people of the entire country knew about it. They all said: 'This Chetatha (遮他陀), harms his father and loves his mother, and it has been going on for years.' I then reflected and realized that I was no different from livestock, having completely lost my humanity. So, I jumped over the city wall of Kalunluo (加倫邏國) and fled to a deep swamp. At that time, the king, named Pizha (毗阇), ordered the people of the country: 'This Chetatha is licentious and immoral, and that is why he did such a thing. Whoever can capture this person will be greatly rewarded with treasures.' At that time, the people of the country all accepted the reward and wanted to capture me. I was terrified, so I fled the country and became a Shamen (沙門). In other countries, I practiced the ten virtues, meditated, and studied the Way, weeping day and night. After thirty-seven years, because of the obstacles of the five heinous sins, my heart could not be at peace, and I was filled with sorrow and grief, with nowhere to go. During these thirty-seven years, I lived in mountain caves, often crying out loud: 'How miserable! How miserable! With what mind can I escape this suffering?' I lamented and went out of the cave to beg for food. At that time, I found a large bowl on the road, and inside the bowl was a scripture box. There were no other scriptures, only the 'Jifa Yueshe Ku Tuoluoni' (集法悅舍苦陀羅尼). It said that in the past, countless Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, when entering Nirvana (涅槃), would often preach this Dharani in Piyueluo (毗悅羅國) and entrust it to the great Bodhisattvas. Later, if someone could hear this Dharani, it was because they had practiced the five precepts and ten virtues in their past lives, thus having this opportunity. If someone hears it but does not keep it in mind or practice it, it is called having no affinity. This Dharani can eliminate the great sins of the five heinous offenses of hundreds of millions of kalpas of birth and death. If someone upholds and recites it, they will never fall into the three evil paths (Santu), hell (Diyu), hungry ghosts (Eguni), or animals (Chusheng). Why? Because in the past, all Buddhas, when about to enter Nirvana, would preach this Dharani. They respected and praised it, extolling its immeasurable merits. They entrusted it to the Bodhisattvas, and if later sentient beings could hear this Dharani and practice it with their hearts, their blessings would be immeasurable. It is like Mount Sumeru (Xumi) and the ocean of treasures, which ordinary people cannot measure. If someone commits various
惡行，竊聞此陀羅尼名，不及修習，一用在懷，墮于地獄；一切地獄中，蒙此人恩，苦痛不行。有人能行，現身精勤修習得者，睹見百千萬佛剎土，得福無量，不可具說。唯有諸佛與諸菩薩乃能究盡，聲聞二乘人者，不能得知。何以故？此陀羅尼，非一佛、二佛所說，過去恒河沙諸佛所說。
「是時，吾得此經，即不乞食，歡喜向窟。到于窟中，燒香禮拜，悲淚讚仰。于窟中修習讀誦，經一年始得。以罪業障故，不能得入心懷。是時，吾即以秋月夜，洗浴修行，經一七日，如童子初學憒憒者不少便。更行於七日，亦如是憒憒無異。心中愁惱，不知云何？意中沾思此陀羅尼字，經于數反，心中忽定。我時欣悅，如人地得百千斤金，人無知者；內欣不止，吾時亦然。修行數年，飛行無礙。睹見十方，三世諸佛。後有行者，如法行之。」
虛空藏菩薩陀羅尼咒
南無佛兜佛多 摩訶目揵連莎 多擲(绖)他(敕賀反)欹利吉利彌利踟利 薩婆伽欹利彌利 薩婆伽彌利莎呵
此陀羅尼，要月十四日、十五日明星出時，誦之八百遍，燒好沉水香，香煙不絕，要用黃花八百枚，令人得福。若善男子！現身安隱，求心中所愿，無不獲得。若是女人！化成男子。能至心一日一夜，六時行道，誦持之者，一劫、
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 惡行之人，如果聽聞這個陀羅尼（Dharani，一種咒語）的名字，卻不加以修習，只是把它放在心中，就會墮入地獄；在地獄中的一切眾生，都會蒙受此人的恩惠，苦痛得以減輕。如果有人能夠修行，現世精勤修習此陀羅尼，就能見到百千萬佛剎土（Buddha-ksetra，佛的國土），獲得無量的福報，無法用言語詳盡描述。只有諸佛和諸菩薩才能徹底瞭解，聲聞（Sravaka，佛陀的弟子）和二乘人（指聲聞和緣覺）都不能得知。這是為什麼呢？因為這個陀羅尼，不是一佛、二佛所說，而是過去恒河沙數諸佛所說。 當時，我得到這部經，就停止乞食，歡喜地回到洞窟。到了洞窟中，燒香禮拜，悲傷地讚歎。在洞窟中修習讀誦，經過一年才得以掌握。因為罪業的障礙，不能使它進入心中。當時，我就在秋天的月夜，沐浴修行，經過七天，就像剛開始學習的孩童一樣，仍然懵懂無知。又修行了七天，也一樣懵懂無知，沒有差別。心中愁苦煩惱，不知道該怎麼辦？心中思念這個陀羅尼的字句，經過多次反覆，心中忽然安定下來。我當時欣喜，就像有人在地上得到百千斤黃金，卻沒有人知道一樣；內心的喜悅無法停止，我當時也是這樣。修行數年，飛行無礙。見到十方，三世諸佛。後來的修行者，如果依法修行，也會如此。 虛空藏菩薩陀羅尼咒（Akasagarbha Bodhisattva Dharani Mantra） 南無佛兜佛多（Namo Buddhaya），摩訶目揵連莎（Maha Maudgalyayana），多擲(绖)他(敕賀反)（Tadyatha），欹利吉利彌利踟利（Kili Kili Mili Cili），薩婆伽欹利彌利（Sarva Gati Kili Mili），薩婆伽彌利莎呵（Sarva Gati Mili Svaha）。 這個陀羅尼，要在每月十四日、十五日，當晨星出現時，誦唸八百遍，燒上好的沉水香，香菸不能斷絕，還要用八百朵黃花，這樣就能使人得到福報。如果是善男子，現世就能安穩，求心中所愿，沒有不能得到的。如果是女人，可以化成男子。如果能至誠地一日一夜，六時行道，誦持此咒，就能獲得一劫（Kalpa，佛教的時間單位）的福報。
【English Translation】 English version An evil-doer, upon hearing the name of this Dharani (a type of mantra), but not practicing it, merely keeping it in mind, will fall into hell; all beings in hell will receive the benefit of this person's merit, and their suffering will be lessened. If someone can practice, diligently cultivating this Dharani in this life, they will see hundreds of thousands of Buddha-ksetras (Buddha lands), and obtain immeasurable blessings, which cannot be fully described. Only Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can fully understand this, while Sravakas (Buddha's disciples) and those of the Two Vehicles (referring to Sravakas and Pratyekabuddhas) cannot know. Why is this? Because this Dharani was not spoken by one or two Buddhas, but by Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges in the past. At that time, when I obtained this scripture, I stopped begging for food and joyfully returned to my cave. Upon reaching the cave, I burned incense, bowed, and praised with sorrow. I practiced reciting in the cave, and it took a year to master it. Due to the obstacles of karmic sins, I could not make it enter my heart. At that time, on an autumn moonlit night, I bathed and practiced, and after seven days, I was still as ignorant as a child just beginning to learn. I practiced for another seven days, and it was still the same, with no difference. My heart was troubled and distressed, and I did not know what to do. I contemplated the words of this Dharani repeatedly, and suddenly my mind became stable. I was overjoyed, like someone who had found hundreds of thousands of pounds of gold on the ground, but no one knew; my inner joy was unstoppable, and that was how I felt. After practicing for several years, I could fly without hindrance. I saw the Buddhas of the ten directions and the three times. Later practitioners, if they practice according to the Dharma, will also be like this. The Akasagarbha Bodhisattva Dharani Mantra Namo Buddhaya, Maha Maudgalyayana, Tadyatha, Kili Kili Mili Cili, Sarva Gati Kili Mili, Sarva Gati Mili Svaha. This Dharani should be recited eight hundred times on the fourteenth and fifteenth of each month, when the morning star appears, while burning good aloeswood incense, without letting the smoke cease, and using eight hundred yellow flowers. This will bring blessings to people. If it is a virtuous man, he will be peaceful in this life, and whatever he seeks in his heart will be obtained. If it is a woman, she can transform into a man. If one can sincerely practice the Way for six periods of the day and night, reciting and upholding this mantra, one will obtain the merit of a kalpa (an eon, a unit of time in Buddhism).
二劫之罪，永不入惡趣。要用春秋涼時三月、四月八月、九月。
觀虛空藏菩薩經
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 犯下二劫（kalpa，佛教時間單位，指極長的時間）的罪業，將永遠不會墮入惡趣（durgati，指地獄、餓鬼、畜生等惡道）。應當在春秋涼爽時節的三月、四月、八月、九月進行修行。
《觀虛空藏菩薩經》（Akasagarbha Bodhisattva Sutra）
【English Translation】 English version Sins committed over two kalpas (kalpa: a very long period of time in Buddhism) will never lead to rebirth in the evil realms (durgati: the realms of hell, hungry ghosts, and animals). Practice should be done during the cool seasons of spring and autumn, specifically in the third, fourth, eighth, and ninth months.
