【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本如是我聞：一時，佛陀在王舍城（Rājagṛha）的靈鷲山（Gṛdhrakūṭa）中，當時與一千二百五十位大比丘和一千位菩薩在一起，他們都像彌勒菩薩（Maitreya Bodhisattva）一樣。佛陀告訴舍利弗（Śāriputra）說：『從這裡向東經過一個恒河沙數（gaṅgā-nadī-vālukā）的世界，有一個佛剎（buddhakṣetra），那裡的佛號為快樂如來（Sukha-tathāgata）、無所著（arhat）、等正覺（samyak-saṃbuddha），現在正在說法，國土名為不可勝（Adurjaya）。』『舍利弗！從這裡向東經過兩個恒河沙數的世界，有一個佛剎，那裡的佛號為月英幢王如來（Candra-ketu-dhvaja-rāja-tathāgata）、無所著、等正覺，現在正在說法，國土名為歡樂（Nandā）。』『舍利弗！從這裡向東經過三個恒河沙數的世界，有一個佛剎，那裡的佛號為等遍明如來（Samanta-prabhāsa-tathāgata）、無所著、等正覺，現在正在說法，國土名為喜愛（Priyā）。』『舍利弗！從這裡向東經過四個恒河沙數的世界，有一個佛剎，那裡的佛號為分別過出清凈如來（Vibhāga-atikrānta-viśuddha-tathāgata）、無所著、等正覺，現在正在說法，國土名為內噲（Antar-hṛdaya）。』『舍利弗！從這裡向東經過五個恒河沙數的世界，有一個佛剎，那裡的佛號為等功德明首如來（Samanta-guṇa-prabhāsa-śira-tathāgata）、無所著、等正覺，現在正在說法，國土名為無狐疑（Avitarka）。』『舍利弗！從這裡向東經過六個恒河沙數的世界，有一個佛剎，那裡的佛號為本草樹首如來（Mūla-oṣadhi-vṛkṣa-śira-tathāgata）、無所著、等正覺，現在正在說法，國土名為無毒螫（Aviṣa-daṃśa）。』『舍利弗！從這裡向東經過七個恒河沙數的世界，有一個佛剎，那裡的佛號為過寶蓮華如來（Atīta-ratna-padma-tathāgata）、無所著、等正覺，現在正在說法，國土名為蓮華香（Padma-gandha）。』

The Buddha said to Śāriputra: 'To the east from here, passing one gaṅgā-nadī-vālukā (number of sands in the Ganges River) of worlds, there is a Buddha-kṣetra (Buddha-field), where the Buddha is named Sukha-tathāgata (The Tathāgata of Happiness), Arhat (Worthy One), Samyak-saṃbuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One), now teaching the Dharma, and the land is named Adurjaya (Invincible).'

弗！東方去是過八恒沙有佛剎，佛號寶樂蓮華快住樹王如來、無所著、等正覺，今現在說法，國土名甘音聲稱說。

「複次，舍利弗！諸佛如來清凈國土，彼方無五濁、無愛慾、無女人、無意垢、無咒詛、無相擇。

「複次，舍利弗！諸佛如來，若有善男子、善女人，聞是八佛名者，受持諷誦讀奉行者，終不墮三惡道，除五不中止罪。

「複次，舍利弗！是善男子、善女人，若有持是八佛名及國土名者，受持諷讀奉行之者，以是功德，若發菩薩心，所生處常遇陀鄰尼、常遇相好、常遇相音、常遇右轉福。是善男子、善女人，奉行是八佛教令，如其正行者，女人所生處轉為男子。

「複次，舍利弗！諸佛如來，是善男子、善女人，以平旦凈澡漱、正衣服，晝夜各三時奉讀是經，得功德無量，第一四天王常擁護。是善男子、善女人，若在縣官中當讀是經、若在怨家中當讀是經、若在盜賊中當讀是經、若在水火中當讀是經、若在海水中逢風浪恐怖當讀是經、若在軍兵對斗中當讀是經、若為蠱毒所中當讀是經、若聞惡鳥鳴若惡夢當讀是經、若為龍神所中當讀是經、若為諸魔所中恐怖毛起者當讀是經、若有急恐病疫疾痛者，持是八陽咒經咒之，立得除愈。」

是時，佛說要偈：

「是土無如來

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：佛陀說：『舍利弗，從東方經過八個恒河沙數那樣多的佛剎，有一佛土，佛號為寶樂蓮華快住樹王如來（如來是佛的稱號之一，意為「如實而來」），無所著（意為沒有任何執著），等正覺（意為完全正確的覺悟），現在正在說法，他的國土名為甘音聲稱說。』『再者，舍利弗，諸佛如來的清凈國土，那裡沒有五濁（指劫濁、見濁、煩惱濁、眾生濁、命濁），沒有愛慾，沒有女人，沒有意垢（指內心的污垢），沒有咒詛，沒有分別選擇。』『再者，舍利弗，諸佛如來，如果有善男子、善女人，聽到這八佛的名號，能夠受持、諷誦、讀誦、奉行，最終不會墮入三惡道（指地獄、餓鬼、畜生道），除非犯了五種不可饒恕的罪過。』『再者，舍利弗，這些善男子、善女人，如果能夠持誦這八佛的名號以及國土的名號，受持、諷誦、讀誦、奉行，憑藉這樣的功德，如果發菩薩心，所出生的地方常常會遇到陀鄰尼（指總持，能持一切法），常常會遇到相好（指佛的莊嚴相貌），常常會聽到美妙的音聲，常常會遇到右轉的福報。這些善男子、善女人，奉行這八佛的教誨，如果能夠如法修行，女人所出生的地方會轉為男子。』『再者，舍利弗，諸佛如來，這些善男子、善女人，在清晨洗漱乾淨、整理好衣服后，白天和夜晚各三次奉讀這部經，會得到無量的功德，第一四天王（指佛教的護法神）會常常擁護他們。這些善男子、善女人，如果在官府中應當讀誦這部經，如果在仇家應當讀誦這部經，如果在盜賊中應當讀誦這部經，如果在水火中應當讀誦這部經，如果在海水中遇到風浪恐怖時應當讀誦這部經，如果在軍隊對戰中應當讀誦這部經，如果被蠱毒所害應當讀誦這部經，如果聽到惡鳥鳴叫或做惡夢應當讀誦這部經，如果被龍神所害應當讀誦這部經，如果被各種魔所困擾而感到恐懼毛骨悚然時應當讀誦這部經，如果有急病、瘟疫、疾病疼痛，持誦這八陽咒經的咒語，立刻就能痊癒。』這時，佛陀說了重要的偈語：『這個國土沒有如來』

【English Translation】 English version: The Buddha said, 'Shariputra, going east past eight Ganges river sands worth of Buddha lands, there is a Buddha land, the Buddha's name is Treasure Joy Lotus Flower Quick Dwelling Tree King Tathagata (Tathagata is one of the titles of the Buddha, meaning 'thus come'), without attachment (meaning without any clinging), Samyak-sambuddha (meaning perfectly correct enlightenment), now is preaching the Dharma, his land is named Sweet Sound Proclamation.' 'Furthermore, Shariputra, the pure lands of all Buddhas, there is no five turbidities (referring to the turbidity of the kalpa, views, afflictions, beings, and life), no desire, no women, no mental defilements (referring to inner impurities), no curses, no discrimination.' 'Furthermore, Shariputra, all Buddhas, if there are good men or good women, who hear the names of these eight Buddhas, and can receive, uphold, recite, read, and practice them, they will ultimately not fall into the three evil paths (referring to hell, hungry ghosts, and animal realms), unless they commit the five unpardonable offenses.' 'Furthermore, Shariputra, these good men and good women, if they can uphold the names of these eight Buddhas and the names of their lands, receiving, upholding, reciting, reading, and practicing them, with such merit, if they generate the Bodhi mind, the places where they are born will often encounter Dharani (referring to the ability to hold all dharmas), often encounter the auspicious marks (referring to the Buddha's majestic appearance), often hear beautiful sounds, and often encounter right-turning blessings. These good men and good women, who practice the teachings of these eight Buddhas, if they can practice according to the Dharma, the place where a woman is born will be transformed into a man.' 'Furthermore, Shariputra, all Buddhas, these good men and good women, after washing and cleaning themselves in the morning and arranging their clothes, if they respectfully read this sutra three times each day and night, they will obtain immeasurable merit, and the first Four Heavenly Kings (referring to the guardian deities of Buddhism) will always protect them. These good men and good women, if they are in government offices, they should read this sutra; if they are among enemies, they should read this sutra; if they are among thieves, they should read this sutra; if they are in water or fire, they should read this sutra; if they encounter terrifying storms at sea, they should read this sutra; if they are in military battles, they should read this sutra; if they are harmed by poison, they should read this sutra; if they hear the cries of evil birds or have bad dreams, they should read this sutra; if they are harmed by dragons or spirits, they should read this sutra; if they are troubled by various demons and feel fear and horror, they should read this sutra; if they have acute illnesses, plagues, or pain, by reciting the mantras of this Eight Yang Mantra Sutra, they will be immediately cured.' At that time, the Buddha spoke an important verse: 'This land has no Tathagata.'

，　　持是國土名，　一切眾惡除，　　疾得登正道。　所生常遇佛，　　見覺大歡喜，　照是世上尊，　　等心供事之。　百劫以無數，　　著常當離之，　疾逮泥洹道，　　奉是諸佛名，　今現諸如來，　　奉行明教名。　為人樸直軟，　　在在見所生，　端正相好具，　　巨億萬家生。　勇猛好佈施，　　為人不慳貪，　女人聞是要，　　踴躍大歡喜，　去離女人身，　　所生為男子。　諸兵不敢害，　　蠱道亦不幸，　縣官及盜賊，　　終不害是人。　五魔不能嬈，　　將帥及官屬，　奉行是經者，　　不能中得便。」

爾時，第一四天王、彌勒菩薩等，白佛言：「我曹當共擁護持是八陽咒經一切學者，我曹當併力擁護，病者令愈。」

佛說：「如是。」

第一四天王、彌勒菩薩等比丘眾，及諸天龍、鬼神、人民、阿須倫，聞經歡喜，為佛作禮而去。

八菩薩名：

第一名颰陀和菩薩、第二名羅那鄰竭菩薩、第三名憍曰兜菩薩、第四名那羅達菩薩、第五名須深菩薩、第六名因抵達菩薩、第七名摩訶須和薩和菩薩、第八名和輪調菩薩，是八人求道以來其劫無數，今未取佛。

是八人本俱學道時，俱愿八方、上下人民皆共使得佛。若有急者

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本『持』是國土的名稱，能消除一切罪惡，迅速登上正道。所生之處常能遇到佛，見到覺悟者會非常歡喜，他們是世上的尊者，應以平等心供養侍奉。經歷無數百劫，執著應當遠離，迅速到達涅槃之道，奉持諸佛的名號，現在諸如來顯現，奉行明教的名號。為人樸實正直，性情柔和，無論轉生何處，都相貌端正，具足美好，出生在巨億萬戶人家。勇猛精進，樂於佈施，為人不吝嗇貪婪，女人聽到這些道理，會踴躍歡喜，舍離女身，所生之處為男子。諸兵器不能傷害，蠱術邪道也不能加害，官府和盜賊，最終都不能傷害這個人。五種魔不能擾亂，將帥和官屬，奉行這部經的人，不能從中找到可乘之機。這時，第一四天王（四大天王之首）、彌勒菩薩等，對佛說：『我們應當共同擁護所有學習這部《八陽咒經》的人，我們應當合力擁護，使病者痊癒。』佛說：『正是這樣。』第一四天王、彌勒菩薩等比丘眾，以及諸天、龍、鬼神、人民、阿修羅，聽聞此經后都非常歡喜，向佛作禮后離去。八位菩薩的名號：第一位是颰陀和菩薩（賢護菩薩），第二位是羅那鄰竭菩薩（離垢藏菩薩），第三位是憍曰兜菩薩（高頂菩薩），第四位是那羅達菩薩（天臂菩薩），第五位是須深菩薩（善深菩薩），第六位是因抵達菩薩（天王菩薩），第七位是摩訶須和薩和菩薩（大善和菩薩），第八位是和輪調菩薩（調伏菩薩），這八位菩薩自求道以來，經歷無數劫，至今尚未成佛。這八位菩薩在最初一同修道時，都發愿讓八方上下的人民都能成佛。如果有人遇到急難

【English Translation】 English version 'Chi' is the name of a land, which can eliminate all evils and quickly ascend to the right path. Those who are born there will often encounter the Buddha, and seeing the enlightened ones will bring great joy. They are the honored ones of the world, and should be served with equal respect. After countless eons, attachments should be abandoned, and the path to Nirvana should be quickly reached. Uphold the names of all Buddhas, and now the Tathagatas appear, practicing the teachings of the enlightened ones. They are honest and upright, gentle in nature, and wherever they are reborn, they are of handsome appearance, possessing all good qualities, and are born into families of billions. They are courageous and diligent, happy to give, and are not stingy or greedy. Women who hear these teachings will be overjoyed, abandon their female bodies, and be reborn as men. No weapons can harm them, nor can sorcery or evil ways. Officials and thieves will ultimately not be able to harm these people. The five demons cannot disturb them, nor can generals or officials. Those who practice this sutra cannot be taken advantage of. At that time, the First of the Four Heavenly Kings (the chief of the Four Heavenly Kings), Maitreya Bodhisattva, and others, said to the Buddha: 'We should jointly protect all those who study this 'Eight Yang Mantra Sutra'. We should work together to protect them, so that the sick may be healed.' The Buddha said: 'It is so.' The First of the Four Heavenly Kings, Maitreya Bodhisattva, and other monks, as well as the gods, dragons, ghosts, spirits, people, and Asuras, were all very happy upon hearing this sutra, and after bowing to the Buddha, they departed. The names of the eight Bodhisattvas: The first is Baddhaka Bodhisattva (Virtuous Protector Bodhisattva), the second is Ronalin-Gara Bodhisattva (Immaculate Treasury Bodhisattva), the third is Kyo-Yato Bodhisattva (High Peak Bodhisattva), the fourth is Narada Bodhisattva (Heavenly Arm Bodhisattva), the fifth is Su-Shen Bodhisattva (Good Deep Bodhisattva), the sixth is In-Di-Da Bodhisattva (Heavenly King Bodhisattva), the seventh is Maha-Su-He-Sa-He Bodhisattva (Great Good Harmony Bodhisattva), and the eighth is He-Lun-Tiao Bodhisattva (Subduing Bodhisattva). These eight Bodhisattvas have been seeking the path for countless eons, and have not yet attained Buddhahood. When these eight Bodhisattvas first practiced together, they all vowed that all people in the eight directions, above and below, would be able to attain Buddhahood. If anyone encounters an emergency

，當使呼我八人名字，即自得解除。若壽欲盡時，我八人便當飛行往迎之。愿持此一字之功德，愿一切人皆如八菩薩快也。

佛說八陽神咒經

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：當有人呼喚我們八人的名字時，他自己就能得到解脫。如果壽命將盡，我們八人便會飛往迎接他。愿以此持誦一個字（指咒語）的功德，愿一切人都能像八位菩薩一樣快樂自在。這是佛陀所說的《八陽神咒經》中的一段。

【English Translation】 English version: When someone calls out the names of us eight, they will immediately attain liberation. If their lifespan is about to end, we eight will fly to welcome them. May the merit of holding this one word (referring to the mantra) be such that all people may be as happy and free as the eight Bodhisattvas. This is a passage from the 'Eight Yang Divine Mantra Sutra' spoken by the Buddha.
