佛說大乘聖無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經

西天中印度摩伽陀國那爛陀寺傳教大師三藏賜紫沙門臣法天奉詔譯

如是我聞。一時，世尊在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。與一千二百五十位大比丘眾在一起。他們都是斷盡煩惱、心意解脫，不再有任何煩惱的阿羅漢，已經獲得自身的利益，內心得到很好的解脫，為大眾所熟知的大阿羅漢。還有智慧廣大、功德莊嚴、威儀具足的諸位尊者、菩薩摩訶薩等，爲了聽聞佛法都聚集在這裡。在這些與會大眾中，以大慧妙吉祥菩薩摩訶薩為首。當時，釋迦牟尼佛憐憫未來世中一切短命的眾生，爲了讓他們增長壽命，獲得巨大的利益，所以宣說了這種不可思議、秘密、甚深、微妙殊勝的佛法。這時，

世尊告訴大慧妙吉祥菩薩說：『你們仔細聽好。從這南閻浮提（Jambudvipa，我們所居住的這個世界）向西，經過無量數的佛土，有一個世界名為無量功德藏（Amitagunadhara）。那個國土莊嚴美麗，用各種珍寶裝飾，清凈殊勝，安穩快樂，超過十方世界，微妙第一。在那無量功德藏世界中，有一尊佛名為無量壽決定光明王如來（Amitayus-Niyata-Prabha-Raja-Tathagata），證得了無上正等菩提。現在正住在那個世界中，以大慈悲心為眾生演說妙法，使他們獲得殊勝的利益和安樂。』

佛又告訴妙吉祥菩薩說：『現在這閻浮提世界中的人，壽命大約一百歲。其中很多人造作各種惡業，因而中年夭折。妙吉祥菩薩，如果有眾生能夠見到這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》，功德非常殊勝，或者聽聞到這部經的名字』

【English Translation】 English version The Dharani Sutra of the Buddha on the Great Vehicle of the Holy Immeasurable Life, the King of Determined Light, the Tathagata

No. 937 [No. 936]

The Dharani Sutra of the Buddha on the Great Vehicle of the Holy Immeasurable Life, the King of Determined Light, the Tathagata

Translated by the Tripitaka Master, the Purple-Robed Shramana Chen Fatian, from Nalanda Monastery in Magadha, Central India, under Imperial Decree

Thus have I heard. At one time, the World Honored One was in Jeta Grove in Shravasti, together with a great assembly of twelve hundred and fifty Bhikshus. All were Arhats who had exhausted their outflows, whose minds were liberated, who were free from afflictions, who had attained their own benefit, whose minds were well liberated, and who were known by the assembly. There were also great and wise Bodhisattva Mahasattvas, adorned with merit and virtue, complete with dignified conduct, and other venerable ones, who had all gathered to hear the Dharma. In the assembly, the foremost was the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Great Wisdom Wondrous Auspiciousness (Mahamati-Manjushri). At that time, Shakyamuni Buddha, out of compassion for all short-lived beings in the future world, so that they might increase their lifespan and obtain great benefit, spoke this inconceivable, secret, profound, subtle, and supreme Dharma. At that time,

The World Honored One said to the Bodhisattva Great Wisdom Wondrous Auspiciousness: 'You should listen attentively. From this Jambudvipa (Southern Jambudvipa, the world we live in), westward, passing through immeasurable Buddha lands, there is a world named Immeasurable Treasury of Merit (Amitagunadhara). That land is adorned with splendor, decorated with various jewels, pure and supreme, peaceful and joyful, surpassing the ten directions, the most subtle and excellent. In that world of the Immeasurable Treasury of Merit, there is a Buddha named Immeasurable Life, the King of Determined Light, the Tathagata (Amitayus-Niyata-Prabha-Raja-Tathagata), who has attained Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi (unsurpassed, right and perfect enlightenment). He now dwells in that world, and with great compassion, expounds the wonderful Dharma for all beings, enabling them to obtain supreme benefit and happiness.'

The Buddha further said to the Bodhisattva Wondrous Auspiciousness: 'Now, in this world of Jambudvipa, people's lifespans are about one hundred years. Among them, many create various evil karmas and die prematurely. Wondrous Auspiciousness, if there are beings who can see this Dharani Sutra of the Immeasurable Life, the King of Determined Light, the Tathagata, the merit is extremely supreme, or if they hear the name of this sutra.'

。若自書寫若教他人書是經竟。或於自舍宅或於高樓。或安精舍殿堂之中。受持讀誦遵奉禮拜。種種妙華燒香粖香。涂香華鬘等。供養無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經。如是短壽之人。若能志心書寫受持。讀誦供養禮拜。如是之人復增壽命滿於百歲。

複次妙吉祥菩薩。若有眾生聞是無量壽決定光明王如來名號。若能志心稱念一百八遍。如此短命眾生復增壽命。或但聞其名號。志心信受遵崇之者。是人亦得增益壽命。

複次妙吉祥菩薩。若有恒時心無暫舍。志誠思求妙法。善男子善女人等汝應諦聽。我今為說無量壽決定光明王如來一百八名陀羅尼曰。

曩謨(引)婆(去)誐嚩(無可反)帝阿播哩弭跢(引)愈(轉舌)霓野(二合)曩素(上)尾𡫸(寧吉反)室止(二合)怛帝口*祖啰(引)惹(仁佐反)野怛他(引)誐哆(引)野(引)啰賀(二合)帝三(去)么藥(二合)訖三(二合)沒馱(引)野怛你也(二合)他(去)唵(引)薩(慱舌呼)嚩(無可反)僧塞迦(二合引)啰波哩舜馱達(他割反)㗚么(二合)帝誐誐曩三(去)母努蘗(二合)帝娑嚩(二合短呼)婆(去引)嚩尾舜弟么賀(引)曩野波哩嚩(引)黎娑嚩(二合引)賀(引)

妙吉祥菩薩。此無量壽決

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：如果親自書寫或教他人書寫這部經書完畢，或在自己的住宅，或在高樓，或安放在精舍殿堂之中，受持讀誦，遵奉禮拜，用各種美妙的鮮花、燒香、粖香、涂香、花鬘等，供養《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》。如此短壽之人，如果能夠真心誠意地書寫、受持、讀誦、供養、禮拜，這樣的人就能增加壽命，活到一百歲。

其次，妙吉祥菩薩（Manjushri Bodhisattva）。如果有眾生聽聞《無量壽決定光明王如來》（Amitayus-Nirdharita-Tejoraja Tathagata）的名號，如果能夠真心誠意地稱念一百零八遍，如此短命的眾生就能增加壽命。或者僅僅聽聞他的名號，真心誠意地信受、遵崇的人，這個人也能得到增益壽命。

其次，妙吉祥菩薩（Manjushri Bodhisattva）。如果有恒常不斷、心中沒有片刻舍離，至誠懇切地思求妙法的善男子、善女人等，你們應當仔細聽好。我現在為你們宣說《無量壽決定光明王如來》（Amitayus-Nirdharita-Tejoraja Tathagata）一百零八名陀羅尼，內容如下：

曩謨(引)婆(去)誐嚩(無可反)帝阿播哩弭跢(引)愈(轉舌)霓野(二合)曩素(上)尾𡫸(寧吉反)室止(二合)怛帝口*祖啰(引)惹(仁佐反)野怛他(引)誐哆(引)野(引)啰賀(二合)帝三(去)么藥(二合)訖三(二合)沒馱(引)野怛你也(二合)他(去)唵(引)薩(慱舌呼)嚩(無可反)僧塞迦(二合引)啰波哩舜馱達(他割反)㗚么(二合)帝誐誐曩三(去)母努蘗(二合)帝娑嚩(二合短呼)婆(去引)嚩尾舜弟么賀(引)曩野波哩嚩(引)黎娑嚩(二合引)賀(引)

妙吉祥菩薩（Manjushri Bodhisattva），這《無量壽決

【English Translation】 English version: If one personally writes or instructs others to write this sutra completely, or in one's own residence, or in a high building, or places it in a pure abode, a hall, or a temple, and upholds, recites, reveres, and worships it, offering various exquisite flowers, incense, powdered incense, scented ointment, garlands, etc., to the 'Amitayus-Nirdharita-Tejoraja Tathagata Dharani Sutra', such a person with a short lifespan, if able to wholeheartedly write, uphold, recite, offer, and worship it, will have their lifespan extended to a full hundred years.

Furthermore, Manjushri Bodhisattva. If there are sentient beings who hear the name of 'Amitayus-Nirdharita-Tejoraja Tathagata', and if they can wholeheartedly recite it one hundred and eight times, such short-lived beings will have their lifespan extended. Or, merely hearing his name and wholeheartedly believing in and revering him, that person will also gain an increase in lifespan.

Furthermore, Manjushri Bodhisattva. If there are good men and good women who constantly, without a moment's abandonment in their hearts, sincerely seek the wonderful Dharma, you should listen carefully. I will now speak for you the 'Amitayus-Nirdharita-Tejoraja Tathagata' one hundred and eight names Dharani, which is as follows:

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：《定光明王如來一百八名陀羅尼》。如果有人親自書寫，或者教他人書寫這個陀羅尼（dharani，總持、真言），安置在高樓之上，或者殿堂內清凈之處，如法嚴飾，以種種供品供養。短命之人可以因此獲得長壽，滿足百歲。這樣的人在去世后，便能往生到無量壽決定光明王如來（Amitayus-niyata-prabha-raja-tathagata）的佛剎，即無量功德藏世界之中。當釋迦牟尼佛（Sakyamuni Buddha）宣說這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》時，有九十九俱胝（koti，印度計數單位，一俱胝等於一千萬）佛，一心同聲，也宣說了這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》。當時又有八十四俱胝佛，一心同聲，也宣說了這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》。當時又有七十七俱胝佛，一心同聲，也宣說了這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》。當時又有六十六俱胝佛，一心同聲，也宣說了這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》。當時又有五十五俱胝佛，一心同聲，也宣說了這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》。當時又有四十四俱胝佛，一心同聲，也宣說了這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》。當時又有三十六俱胝佛，一心同聲，也宣說了這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》。當時又有二十五俱胝佛，一心同聲，也宣說了這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》。當時又有十殑伽河沙數（Ganges river sands，比喻極多的數量）俱胝佛，各自心無差別，異口同聲，也都宣說了這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》。這部陀羅尼經，如果有人自己書寫，或者教人書寫，這樣的人在去世后，不會墮入地獄、不會墮入餓鬼、不會墮入畜生。

【English Translation】 English version: The Dharani of the One Hundred and Eight Names of Amitayus-niyata-prabha-raja-tathagata (定光明王如來). If someone personally writes or teaches others to write this dharani (陀羅尼, a type of mantra or incantation), and places it on a high tower or in a clean place within a temple, adorns it properly, and makes various offerings, a person with a short lifespan can obtain longevity and live to a hundred years. Such a person, upon death, will be reborn in the Buddha-field of Amitayus-niyata-prabha-raja-tathagata (無量壽決定光明王如來), in the world of the Treasury of Immeasurable Merits. When Sakyamuni Buddha (釋迦牟尼佛) was expounding this 'Amitayus-niyata-prabha-raja-tathagata Dharani Sutra,' ninety-nine kotis (俱胝, a unit of measurement in India, one koti equals ten million) of Buddhas, with one mind and voice, also expounded this 'Amitayus-niyata-prabha-raja-tathagata Dharani Sutra.' At that time, there were also eighty-four kotis of Buddhas, with one mind and voice, who also expounded this 'Amitayus-niyata-prabha-raja-tathagata Dharani Sutra.' At that time, there were also seventy-seven kotis of Buddhas, with one mind and voice, who also expounded this 'Amitayus-niyata-prabha-raja-tathagata Dharani Sutra.' At that time, there were also sixty-six kotis of Buddhas, with one mind and voice, who also expounded this 'Amitayus-niyata-prabha-raja-tathagata Dharani Sutra.' At that time, there were also fifty-five kotis of Buddhas, with one mind and voice, who also expounded this 'Amitayus-niyata-prabha-raja-tathagata Dharani Sutra.' At that time, there were also forty-four kotis of Buddhas, with one mind and voice, who also expounded this 'Amitayus-niyata-prabha-raja-tathagata Dharani Sutra.' At that time, there were also thirty-six kotis of Buddhas, with one mind and voice, who also expounded this 'Amitayus-niyata-prabha-raja-tathagata Dharani Sutra.' At that time, there were also twenty-five kotis of Buddhas, with one mind and voice, who also expounded this 'Amitayus-niyata-prabha-raja-tathagata Dharani Sutra.' At that time, there were also ten Ganges river sands (殑伽河沙數) kotis of Buddhas, each with the same mind, and with one voice, all expounding this 'Amitayus-niyata-prabha-raja-tathagata Dharani Sutra.' If someone writes this Dharani Sutra themselves or teaches others to write it, such a person will not fall into hell, will not fall into the realm of hungry ghosts, and will not fall into the realm of animals after death.

。不墮閻羅王界業道冥官。永不於是諸惡道中受其惡報。如是之人由是書寫此無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經功德力故。於後一切生處。生生世世得宿命智。此無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經。若自書若教人書。如是之人則同書寫八萬四千法藏。所獲功德而無有異。此無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經。若復有人若自書若教人書。如是之人便同修建八萬四千寶塔。所獲功德而無有異。此無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經。若自書若教人書。如是之人若有五無間地獄之業。由是功德力故。其業皆悉消除。此無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經。若自書若教人書。如是之人不墮魔王及魔眷屬。不墮藥叉羅剎道中。不墮非橫死亡。永不受是諸惡果報。此無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經。若自書若教人書。如是之人臨命終時。有九十九俱胝佛。面現其前來迎是人。往生於彼佛國土中。汝等勿生疑惑。此無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經。若自書若教人書。如是之人當來永不受其女人之身。此無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經。若自書若教人書。如是之人常得東方彥達嚩主持國天王。南方矩伴拏主增長天王。西方大龍主廣目天王。北方大藥叉主多聞天王。密隱其身隨逐衛護。若復有人為於此經。能以少分財寶佈施之者。是人便同以三千大千世

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：不墮入閻羅王界（Yama's realm）的業道和冥官（underworld officials），永遠不會在這些惡道中遭受惡報。這樣的人由於書寫此《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》（The Amitayus-determined-light-king-tathagata Dharani Sutra）的功德力，在後世的一切生處，生生世世都能獲得宿命智（knowledge of past lives）。這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》，如果自己書寫或教他人書寫，這樣的人就等同於書寫了八萬四千法藏（eighty-four thousand Dharma treasures），所獲得的功德沒有任何差別。這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》，如果有人自己書寫或教他人書寫，這樣的人就等同於修建了八萬四千寶塔（eighty-four thousand precious stupas），所獲得的功德沒有任何差別。這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》，如果自己書寫或教他人書寫，這樣的人即使有五無間地獄（five unremitting hells）的業，由於這部經的功德力，其業都會全部消除。這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》，如果自己書寫或教他人書寫，這樣的人不會墮入魔王（Mara）及其魔眷屬（Mara's retinue）之中，不會墮入藥叉（Yaksa）羅剎（Rakshasa）道中，不會遭受橫死，永遠不會承受這些惡果報。這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》，如果自己書寫或教他人書寫，這樣的人臨命終時，有九十九俱胝（ninety-nine kotis）的佛，會顯現在他面前來迎接這個人，往生到那些佛的國土中。你們不要產生疑惑。這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》，如果自己書寫或教他人書寫，這樣的人將來永遠不會再受女人之身。這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》，如果自己書寫或教他人書寫，這樣的人常常會得到東方彥達嚩（Gandharva）持國天王（Dhritarashtra），南方矩伴拏（Kumbhanda）主增長天王（Virudhaka），西方大龍主廣目天王（Virupaksha），北方大藥叉（Yaksa）主多聞天王（Vaishravana）秘密地隱身跟隨衛護。如果有人爲了這部經，能夠以少許財寶佈施，這個人就等同於以三千大千世界（three thousand great thousand worlds）

【English Translation】 English version: Will not fall into the karmic paths and underworld officials of Yama's realm, and will never suffer evil retribution in these evil realms. Such a person, due to the meritorious power of writing this 'Amitayus-determined-light-king-tathagata Dharani Sutra', will attain knowledge of past lives in all future rebirths, life after life. If one personally writes or teaches others to write this 'Amitayus-determined-light-king-tathagata Dharani Sutra', such a person is equivalent to writing eighty-four thousand Dharma treasures, and the merits obtained are no different. If someone personally writes or teaches others to write this 'Amitayus-determined-light-king-tathagata Dharani Sutra', such a person is equivalent to building eighty-four thousand precious stupas, and the merits obtained are no different. If one personally writes or teaches others to write this 'Amitayus-determined-light-king-tathagata Dharani Sutra', even if such a person has the karma of the five unremitting hells, due to the meritorious power of this sutra, all their karma will be eliminated. If one personally writes or teaches others to write this 'Amitayus-determined-light-king-tathagata Dharani Sutra', such a person will not fall into the realm of Mara and Mara's retinue, will not fall into the Yaksha and Rakshasa paths, will not suffer untimely death, and will never endure these evil consequences. If one personally writes or teaches others to write this 'Amitayus-determined-light-king-tathagata Dharani Sutra', at the time of their death, ninety-nine kotis of Buddhas will appear before them to welcome them, and they will be reborn in those Buddhas' lands. Do not harbor doubts. If one personally writes or teaches others to write this 'Amitayus-determined-light-king-tathagata Dharani Sutra', such a person will never again receive a woman's body in the future. If one personally writes or teaches others to write this 'Amitayus-determined-light-king-tathagata Dharani Sutra', such a person will always be secretly protected by Dhritarashtra, the Eastern Gandharva King; Virudhaka, the Southern Kumbhanda King; Virupaksha, the Western Great Dragon King; and Vaishravana, the Northern Great Yaksha King, who will conceal their bodies and follow to guard them. If someone, for the sake of this sutra, can give even a small amount of wealth in charity, that person is equivalent to using the three thousand great thousand worlds

界滿中。金銀琉璃硨磲瑪瑙珊瑚琥珀。如是七寶盡持佈施。若復有人供養此經典者。便同供養一切真實法藏。若復有人能持上妙七寶。供養毗婆尸。試棄。毗舍浮。俱留孫。揭諾揭牟尼。迦設波。釋迦牟尼如來應正等覺。所獲福德不能度量知其數量。若復有人供養此無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經。所獲福德亦復不能度量知其限量。又如四大海水充滿其中。不能得知一一滴數。若復有人書寫供養。受持讀誦此無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經。所獲福德亦復不能度量知其限數。若復有人書寫是無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經。處所地位則是成就諸佛真身舍利寶塔。應尊重禮拜。若有眾生耳聞此陀羅尼者。此之眾生永不受飛鳥四足多足異類之身。當來速得成就不退轉無上正等菩提。若復有人。積聚金銀琉璃硨磲瑪瑙珊瑚琥珀。如是七寶如妙高山王盡能舍施。所獲福德不可度量知其數量。若復有人為此無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經。而能佈施之者。所得福德亦復不能度量知其限數。若復有人書寫此無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經。禮拜供養者。如是之人則為禮拜供養十方諸佛剎土一切如來。而無有異。

爾時釋迦牟尼世尊。說彼伽他曰。

修行佈施力成就　　佈施力故得成佛　若入大悲精室中　　耳暫聞此陀

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：充滿整個世界。如果有人用金、銀、琉璃、硨磲（一種海貝）、瑪瑙、珊瑚、琥珀這些七寶來佈施，另有人供養這部經典，那麼供養經典的人就等同於供養了一切真實的法藏。如果有人能用上好的七寶供養毗婆尸（Vipasyin，過去七佛之一）、試棄（Sikhin，過去七佛之一）、毗舍浮（Visvabhu，過去七佛之一）、俱留孫（Krakucchanda，過去七佛之一）、揭諾揭牟尼（Kanakamuni，過去七佛之一）、迦設波（Kasyapa，過去七佛之一）、釋迦牟尼（Sakyamuni）如來應正等覺，所獲得的福德無法衡量，無法得知其數量。如果有人供養這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》，所獲得的福德也同樣無法衡量，無法得知其數量。又如四大海水充滿其中，無法得知每一滴水的數量。如果有人書寫、供養、受持、讀誦這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》，所獲得的福德也同樣無法衡量，無法得知其限數。如果有人書寫這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》，這個地方就等於是成就了諸佛真身舍利的寶塔，應當尊重禮拜。如果有眾生聽到這個陀羅尼，這個眾生將永遠不會轉生為飛鳥、四足動物、多足動物等異類之身，將來能夠迅速成就不會退轉的無上正等菩提。如果有人積聚金、銀、琉璃、硨磲、瑪瑙、珊瑚、琥珀這些七寶，像妙高山王那樣多，全部捨棄佈施，所獲得的福德不可衡量，無法得知其數量。如果有人爲了這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》而能佈施，所得到的福德也同樣無法衡量，無法得知其限數。如果有人書寫這部《無量壽決定光明王如來陀羅尼經》，禮拜供養，這樣的人就等於是禮拜供養十方諸佛剎土的一切如來，沒有任何區別。這時釋迦牟尼世尊說了這首偈：修行佈施的力量得以成就，因為佈施的力量才能成佛。如果進入大悲精室中，耳朵暫時聽到這個陀羅尼……

【English Translation】 English version: Filled throughout the world. If someone uses gold, silver, lapis lazuli, tridacna (a kind of sea clam), agate, coral, and amber—these seven treasures—for almsgiving, and another person makes offerings to this scripture, then the person making offerings to the scripture is equivalent to making offerings to all the true Dharma treasures. If someone can use excellent seven treasures to make offerings to Vipasyin (one of the past seven Buddhas), Sikhin (one of the past seven Buddhas), Visvabhu (one of the past seven Buddhas), Krakucchanda (one of the past seven Buddhas), Kanakamuni (one of the past seven Buddhas), Kasyapa (one of the past seven Buddhas), and Sakyamuni Buddha, the Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha, the merit obtained cannot be measured, and its quantity cannot be known. If someone makes offerings to this 'Immeasurable Life, Determination of Light King Tathagata Dharani Sutra', the merit obtained also cannot be measured, and its quantity cannot be known. Furthermore, just as the four great seas are filled within, the number of each drop cannot be known. If someone writes, makes offerings to, upholds, and recites this 'Immeasurable Life, Determination of Light King Tathagata Dharani Sutra', the merit obtained also cannot be measured, and its limit cannot be known. If someone writes this 'Immeasurable Life, Determination of Light King Tathagata Dharani Sutra', the place is equivalent to accomplishing the precious stupa of the true body relics of all Buddhas, and should be respected and worshiped. If there are sentient beings who hear this dharani, these sentient beings will never be reborn into the bodies of birds, four-legged animals, multi-legged animals, or other different kinds. In the future, they will quickly achieve non-retrogressive Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. If someone accumulates gold, silver, lapis lazuli, tridacna, agate, coral, and amber—these seven treasures—as much as Mount Sumeru, and gives them all away in alms, the merit obtained cannot be measured, and its quantity cannot be known. If someone is able to give alms for this 'Immeasurable Life, Determination of Light King Tathagata Dharani Sutra', the merit obtained also cannot be measured, and its limit cannot be known. If someone writes this 'Immeasurable Life, Determination of Light King Tathagata Dharani Sutra' and worships and makes offerings to it, such a person is equivalent to worshiping and making offerings to all the Tathagatas in the Buddha lands of the ten directions, without any difference.
