【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本如是我聞：一時，佛陀在羅閱祇（Rāmagṛha，王舍城）的耆阇崛山（Gṛdhrakūṭa，靈鷲山）中，與一千二百五十位比丘（bhikṣu，佛教出家男眾）在一起，還有一千位菩薩（bodhisattva，發願成佛的修行者），他們都是像彌勒（Maitreya，未來佛）一樣的菩薩。佛陀告訴賢者舍利弗（Śāriputra，佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著稱）以及眾比丘：『你們都要一心諦聽！』佛陀告訴賢者舍利弗：『從東方過去一個恒河沙（gaṅgā-nadī-vālukā，極多的數量）的距離，有一尊佛，名為安隱囑累滿具足王如來（Anivartana-samādhi-pūrṇa-rāja-tathāgata），如來（tathāgata，佛的稱號之一）、至真（arhat，應供）、無所著（anāsrava，無煩惱）、最正覺（samyak-saṃbuddha，正等覺），現在正在說法，他的世界名為滿所愿聚（Manoratha-pūraṇa-vyūha）。』『從那裡過去兩個恒河沙的距離，有一尊佛，名為紺琉璃具足王如來（Nīla-vaiḍūrya-pūrṇa-rāja-tathāgata），無所著、最正覺，現在正在說法，他的世界名為慈哀光明（Maitrī-prabhā）。』『從那裡過去三個恒河沙的距離，有一尊佛，名為勸助眾善具足王如來（Kuśala-saṃbhāra-pūrṇa-rāja-tathāgata），無所著、最正覺，現在正在說法，他的世界名為歡喜快樂（Pramudita-sukha）。』『從那裡過去四個恒河沙的距離，有一尊佛，名為無憂德具足王如來（Aśoka-guṇa-pūrṇa-rāja-tathāgata），無所著、最正覺，現在正在說法，他的世界名為一切樂入（Sarva-sukha-praviṣṭa）。』『從那裡過去五個恒河沙的距離，有一尊佛，名為藥師具足王如來（Bhaiṣajya-rāja-pūrṇa-rāja-tathāgata），無所著、最正覺，現在正在說法，他的世界名為滿一切珍寶法（Sarva-ratna-dharma-pūraṇa）。』『從那裡過去六個恒河沙的距離，有一尊佛，名為蓮華具足王如來（Padma-pūrṇa-rāja-tathāgata），無所著、最正覺，現在正在說法，他的世界名為滿香名聞（Sugandha-kīrti-pūraṇa）。』『從那裡過去七個恒河沙的距離，有一尊佛，名為算擇合會具足王如來（Saṃkhyā-samāgama-pūrṇa-rāja-tathāgata），無所著、最正覺，現在正在說法，他的世界名為一切解說音聲遠聞（Sarva-nirukti-ghoṣa-dūra-śruta）。』

【English Translation】 English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa (Vulture Peak) in Rājagṛha (Royal Palace City), together with twelve hundred and fifty bhikṣus (Buddhist monks), and a thousand bodhisattvas (enlightenment beings), all of whom were like Maitreya (the future Buddha). The Buddha said to the venerable Śāriputra (one of the Buddha's chief disciples, known for his wisdom) and all the bhikṣus, 『Listen attentively with one-pointed minds!』 The Buddha said to the venerable Śāriputra, 『To the east, beyond a distance of one Ganges river of sands (an immeasurable quantity), there is a Buddha named Anivartana-samādhi-pūrṇa-rāja-tathāgata (King Tathāgata of Complete Non-Regression Samadhi), a Tathāgata (one of the titles of a Buddha), an Arhat (worthy one), an Anāsrava (free from outflows), a Samyak-saṃbuddha (perfectly enlightened one), who is now teaching the Dharma. His world is called Manoratha-pūraṇa-vyūha (Abode of Fulfilling Wishes).』『Beyond that, at a distance of two Ganges rivers of sands, there is a Buddha named Nīla-vaiḍūrya-pūrṇa-rāja-tathāgata (King Tathāgata of Complete Blue Lapis Lazuli), an Anāsrava, a Samyak-saṃbuddha, who is now teaching the Dharma. His world is called Maitrī-prabhā (Light of Loving-Kindness).』『Beyond that, at a distance of three Ganges rivers of sands, there is a Buddha named Kuśala-saṃbhāra-pūrṇa-rāja-tathāgata (King Tathāgata of Complete Accumulation of Merits), an Anāsrava, a Samyak-saṃbuddha, who is now teaching the Dharma. His world is called Pramudita-sukha (Joyful Bliss).』『Beyond that, at a distance of four Ganges rivers of sands, there is a Buddha named Aśoka-guṇa-pūrṇa-rāja-tathāgata (King Tathāgata of Complete Sorrowless Virtue), an Anāsrava, a Samyak-saṃbuddha, who is now teaching the Dharma. His world is called Sarva-sukha-praviṣṭa (Entrance to All Bliss).』『Beyond that, at a distance of five Ganges rivers of sands, there is a Buddha named Bhaiṣajya-rāja-pūrṇa-rāja-tathāgata (King Tathāgata of Complete Medicine King), an Anāsrava, a Samyak-saṃbuddha, who is now teaching the Dharma. His world is called Sarva-ratna-dharma-pūraṇa (Abode of Fulfilling All Precious Dharmas).』『Beyond that, at a distance of six Ganges rivers of sands, there is a Buddha named Padma-pūrṇa-rāja-tathāgata (King Tathāgata of Complete Lotus), an Anāsrava, a Samyak-saṃbuddha, who is now teaching the Dharma. His world is called Sugandha-kīrti-pūraṇa (Abode of Fulfilling Fragrant Fame).』『Beyond that, at a distance of seven Ganges rivers of sands, there is a Buddha named Saṃkhyā-samāgama-pūrṇa-rāja-tathāgata (King Tathāgata of Complete Calculation and Gathering), an Anāsrava, a Samyak-saṃbuddha, who is now teaching the Dharma. His world is called Sarva-nirukti-ghoṣa-dūra-śruta (Abode Where All Explanatory Sounds Are Heard Far Away).』

「去是八恒沙，有佛名解散一切縛具足王如來、無所著、最正覺，今現在說法，其世界名曰一切解脫。」

佛告賢者舍利弗：「此諸佛如來、無所著、過四道不受、最正覺，其國土清凈，無五濁、無愛慾、無意垢。若有善男子、善女人，聞此八佛及國土名，受持奉行諷誦，廣為他人解說其義者，終不愚癡，口之所言，無有失誤，相好具足，無所缺減，無央數年不為乏少。

「是人終不墮太山地獄、餓鬼、畜生中也，是人終不望取羅漢、辟支佛道而般泥洹，必當逮得無上平等之道，常遇陀鄰尼，常行菩薩道，得功德無量。

「第一四天王常擁護之，不為縣官所拘錄，不為盜賊所中傷，不為天龍、鬼神所觸嬈，閱叉鬼神、蠱道鬼神、若人、若非人，皆不能害殺得其便也，除其宿命不請。

「若有疾病、水火、烏鳴、惡夢、諸魔所嬈，恐怖衣毛豎時，常當讀是八吉祥神咒經咒之，即得除愈。」

是時，佛說偈言：

「若有持是經，　　八佛國土名，　不墮三惡處，　　疾得無上道。　自覺發道意，　　見佛即開解，　中外常歡喜，　　供養心恭敬。　億劫阿僧祇，　　行惡悉消除，　持是八吉祥，　　速得明解教。　供事是經者，　　千葉華中生，　珍寶為其出，

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本『過去有八個恒河沙數（形容極多的數量）的世界，其中有佛名為解散一切縛具足王如來（能解脫一切束縛，具足一切功德的如來）、無所著（沒有任何執著的）、最正覺（達到最高覺悟的），現在正在說法，其世界名為一切解脫。』佛告訴賢者舍利弗：『這些佛如來、無所著、超越四道（指欲界、色界、無色界和非想非非想處）不受輪迴、最正覺，他們的國土清凈，沒有五濁（指劫濁、見濁、煩惱濁、眾生濁、命濁）、沒有愛慾、沒有意垢（指內心的污垢）。如果有善男子、善女人，聽到這八位佛和他們國土的名字，受持奉行、諷誦，並廣泛為他人解釋其含義，最終不會愚癡，口中所說的話不會有失誤，相貌美好，沒有缺失，無量數年都不會匱乏。』『這個人最終不會墮入太山地獄、餓鬼、畜生道中，這個人最終不會期望獲得羅漢、辟支佛道而進入涅槃，必定會獲得無上平等之道，常常遇到陀鄰尼（總持，指能總攝憶持一切法義的禪定力），常常修行菩薩道，獲得無量的功德。』『第一四天王（指四大天王）常常擁護他，不會被官府拘捕，不會被盜賊傷害，不會被天龍、鬼神所侵擾，閱叉鬼神（指夜叉）、蠱道鬼神，無論是人還是非人，都不能傷害他，除非是宿命的因果。』『如果遇到疾病、水火災難、聽到烏鴉鳴叫、做惡夢、被各種魔所侵擾，感到恐懼毛髮豎立時，應當常常讀誦這八吉祥神咒經咒，就能立即消除痊癒。』這時，佛說偈語：『如果有人持誦此經，八佛國土之名，不墮三惡道之處，迅速獲得無上道。自覺發起菩提心，見佛即能開悟理解，內外常常歡喜，供養之心恭敬。億劫阿僧祇（指極長的時間），所行惡業皆消除，持誦這八吉祥，迅速明瞭佛陀教誨。供奉此經之人，將生於千葉蓮花中，珍寶自然涌現，』

【English Translation】 English version 'Going past eight Ganges sands (an expression for an extremely large number) of worlds, there were Buddhas named Dissolving All Bonds King Tathagata (the Tathagata who can liberate all bonds and possesses all merits), the Unattached One, the Most Righteously Enlightened One, who are now teaching the Dharma, and their worlds are named All Liberation.' The Buddha told the worthy Shariputra: 'These Buddhas, the Tathagatas, the Unattached Ones, who have transcended the four realms (referring to the desire realm, form realm, formless realm, and neither perception nor non-perception realm), are not subject to rebirth, and are the Most Righteously Enlightened Ones, their lands are pure, without the five turbidities (referring to the turbidity of the kalpa, views, afflictions, beings, and life), without desires, and without mental defilements. If there are good men or good women who hear the names of these eight Buddhas and their lands, accept, uphold, recite, and widely explain their meanings to others, they will ultimately not be foolish, their words will not be mistaken, their appearances will be beautiful, without any deficiencies, and they will not lack anything for countless years.' 'These people will ultimately not fall into the Tai Mountain hell, the realm of hungry ghosts, or the animal realm. These people will ultimately not seek to attain the path of Arhats or Pratyekabuddhas and enter Nirvana, but will surely attain the unsurpassed path of equality, will often encounter Dharanis (mantras that encapsulate and retain all Dharma teachings), will often practice the Bodhisattva path, and will obtain immeasurable merits.' 'The first Four Heavenly Kings (referring to the Four Great Heavenly Kings) will always protect them, they will not be arrested by officials, they will not be harmed by thieves, they will not be disturbed by dragons, gods, or ghosts. Yaksha ghosts (referring to night demons), Gu-poison ghosts, whether human or non-human, will not be able to harm them, except for the karmic consequences of their past lives.' 'If they encounter illness, fire or water disasters, hear the cries of crows, have nightmares, or are disturbed by various demons, and feel fear with their hair standing on end, they should always recite this Eight Auspicious Divine Mantra Sutra, and they will immediately be cured and healed.' At that time, the Buddha spoke in verses: 'If one upholds this sutra, The names of the eight Buddhas' lands, They will not fall into the three evil realms, And will quickly attain the unsurpassed path. Consciously generating the Bodhi mind, Upon seeing the Buddha, they will understand, Inside and out, they will always be joyful, And offer with respectful hearts. For countless eons, All evil deeds will be eliminated, Upholding these eight auspicious ones, They will quickly understand the Buddha's teachings. Those who serve this sutra, Will be born in a thousand-petaled lotus, And treasures will naturally appear,'

色像好無上。　人聞是尊經，　　尊敬信樂者，　奉持諷誦讀，　　清凈無放逸。　女人信是經，　　敬慎無諛諂。　棄女為男子，　　聰明常黠慧，　奉持八佛名，　　出入賊不害。　刀兵水火毒，　　諸邪不能幹，　愛樂奉是經，　　諸魔不得便。　鬼神諸官屬，　　無能嬈亂者，　飛行到諸剎，　　所在大豐樂。　心意正無邪，　　見佛大歡喜，　所生常遇佛，　　等心奉事之。　一切眾惡除，　　疾得泥洹道，　精進無懈怠，　　去離諸緣著。　為人樸直儒，　　奉持八佛名，　勇猛降眾魔，　　其力如金剛。　端正相好具，　　一切莫能當，　佈施無慳貪，　　巨億萬家生。　盜賊及怨家，　　自然皆消除，　疾病縣官事，　　烏鳴諸惡夢，　持是八佛名，　　咒之即除愈。　奉持是經者，　　彌勒菩薩等，　第一四天王，　　常共擁護之。　所愿皆可得，　　踴躍大歡喜，　一心信樂者，　　福德亦如是。」

爾時，諸菩薩：颰陀和菩薩、羅憐那竭菩薩、橋曰兜菩薩、那羅達菩薩、須深彌菩薩、摩訶須和薩和菩薩、因祗達菩薩、和輪調菩薩，是八人求道已來無央數劫，於今未取佛，愿言：「使十方天下、人民皆得佛道。若有急疾，皆當呼我

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本佛的形象無比殊勝。人們聽聞這是尊貴的經典，如果能尊敬、信仰並樂於接受，奉行、持誦、研讀，保持清凈而不放縱。如果女子信仰這部經典，能保持恭敬謹慎而不諂媚，便可捨棄女身轉為男子，變得聰明且常具智慧。奉持八佛的名號，出入不會遭受盜賊的侵害。刀兵、水火、毒藥，各種邪惡都不能加害，喜愛並奉行這部經典，各種魔障都無法得逞。鬼神及其眷屬，都不能擾亂他們，可以飛行到達各個佛剎，所到之處都充滿安樂。心意純正沒有邪念，見到佛陀會非常歡喜，所生之處常能遇到佛陀，以平等心侍奉他們。一切罪惡都會消除，迅速證得涅槃之道，精進修行而不懈怠，遠離各種執著。為人樸實正直，奉持八佛的名號，勇猛地降伏各種魔障，其力量如同金剛一般。容貌端正，具足各種美好的相貌，一切都無法與之相比，佈施而不慳吝貪婪，能出生在富裕的家庭。盜賊和怨家，自然都會消除，疾病、官司、烏鴉的鳴叫等各種惡夢，持誦這八佛的名號，唸咒就能消除痊癒。奉持這部經典的人，彌勒菩薩（未來佛）等，第一四天王（佛教的護法神），常常共同擁護他們。所希望的都能實現，歡欣鼓舞，一心信仰並樂於接受的人，所獲得的福德也是如此。

當時，諸位菩薩：颰陀和菩薩（賢護菩薩）、羅憐那竭菩薩（離垢藏菩薩）、橋曰兜菩薩（寶積菩薩）、那羅達菩薩（無著菩薩）、須深彌菩薩（善思惟菩薩）、摩訶須和薩和菩薩（大善住菩薩）、因祗達菩薩（天授菩薩）、和輪調菩薩（調伏菩薩），這八位菩薩自求道以來，經歷了無數劫，至今尚未成佛，他們發願說：『愿使十方世界的所有人民都能證得佛道。如果有人身患急病，都應當呼喚我們的名字。』

【English Translation】 English version The Buddha's form is supremely excellent. People who hear this honored scripture, if they respect, believe, and rejoice in it, Practice, uphold, recite, and study it, remaining pure and without negligence. If a woman believes in this scripture, maintaining reverence and caution without flattery, She can abandon her female form and transform into a man, becoming intelligent and always wise. Upholding the names of the Eight Buddhas, they will not be harmed by thieves when going out or coming in. Weapons, fire, poison, and all evils cannot harm them, Loving and practicing this scripture, all demons cannot take advantage. Ghosts, spirits, and their retinues cannot disturb them, They can fly to various Buddha lands, and wherever they go, there is great joy and abundance. With a pure mind and no evil thoughts, they will be very happy to see the Buddha, Wherever they are born, they will always encounter the Buddha, serving them with an equal mind. All evils will be eliminated, and they will quickly attain the path of Nirvana, Practicing diligently without laziness, they will be free from all attachments. Being honest and upright, upholding the names of the Eight Buddhas, They will bravely subdue all demons, their strength like that of Vajra (diamond). With a dignified appearance and possessing all good qualities, nothing can compare to them, Giving generously without stinginess or greed, they will be born into wealthy families. Thieves and enemies will naturally disappear, Diseases, lawsuits, the cawing of crows, and all bad dreams, By reciting the names of these Eight Buddhas, chanting will eliminate and heal them. Those who uphold this scripture, such as Maitreya Bodhisattva (the future Buddha), And the First Four Heavenly Kings (Buddhist guardian deities), will always protect them together. All their wishes can be fulfilled, and they will be overjoyed, Those who believe and rejoice wholeheartedly will receive such blessings.

At that time, the Bodhisattvas: Baddhāvāra Bodhisattva (Bhadrapala Bodhisattva), Roreṇakara Bodhisattva (Vimalagarbha Bodhisattva), Kyo-yutou Bodhisattva (Ratnakara Bodhisattva), Narada Bodhisattva (Anabhilagna Bodhisattva), Susimmi Bodhisattva (Subhuti Bodhisattva), Mahasuhasava Bodhisattva (Mahasudarsana Bodhisattva), Indradatta Bodhisattva (Devadatta Bodhisattva), and Haruncho Bodhisattva (Damana Bodhisattva), these eight Bodhisattvas, since seeking the path, have gone through countless kalpas and have not yet attained Buddhahood. They vowed: 'May all people in the ten directions of the world attain the path of Buddhahood. If anyone is suffering from a sudden illness, they should call upon our names.'

八人名字，即得解脫；壽命欲終時，我八人便當飛往迎逆之。」

諸菩薩彌勒等、第一四天王，皆白佛言：「吾當擁護持八吉祥神咒經者，與我併力令諸疾病皆得除愈。」

佛說經已，舍利弗、彌勒菩薩，及諸比丘、天龍、鬼神、阿須倫王，皆大歡喜樂聞。

佛說八吉祥神咒經

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：'唸誦這八個人的名字，就能得到解脫；當壽命將盡時，我們八個人就會飛去迎接他。' 諸位菩薩，如彌勒（Maitreya，未來佛）等，以及第一四天王（the Four Heavenly Kings，佛教的護法神），都對佛說：'我們應當擁護受持《八吉祥神咒經》的人，與他們一同努力，使一切疾病都得以痊癒。' 佛說完這部經后，舍利弗（Sariputra，佛陀十大弟子之一）、彌勒菩薩，以及各位比丘（bhikkhu，佛教出家男眾）、天龍（Naga，佛教護法神）、鬼神、阿修羅王（Asura，一種神道）等，都非常歡喜，樂於聽聞。佛說《八吉祥神咒經》

【English Translation】 English version: 'Reciting the names of these eight individuals will lead to liberation; when one's life is about to end, we eight will fly to welcome them.' All the Bodhisattvas, such as Maitreya (the future Buddha), and the first Four Heavenly Kings (the Four Heavenly Kings, guardians of Buddhism), all said to the Buddha: 'We shall protect those who uphold the 'Eight Auspicious Divine Mantra Sutra', and together with them, we will strive to ensure that all illnesses are cured.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Sariputra (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples), Bodhisattva Maitreya, and all the bhikkhus (Buddhist monks), Nagas (Buddhist guardian deities), ghosts and spirits, Asura Kings (a type of deity), and others were all very joyful and delighted to hear it. The Buddha Speaks the Eight Auspicious Divine Mantra Sutra
