如是我聞。一時，佛在阿耨達多（Anavatapta）龍王宮中，與五百比丘俱。菩薩摩訶薩一千位，皆是一生補處（Ekajatipratibaddha），皆得陀羅尼（Dharani）位階十地。猶如王子不久將紹繼王位，此諸菩薩亦復如是，有大功德而自莊嚴，不久當得灌頂之位，得成作佛。此諸菩薩各從他方諸佛世界而來，于諸佛所心無疑滯。時會眾中有一菩薩，名曰師子奮迅（Simhavikridita），從座而起，偏袒右肩，右膝著地，合掌向佛，而白佛言：『世尊，若有善男子善女人，盡其形壽，一切樂具供養如來，得福多不？』
佛告師子奮迅菩薩：『莫作是說，心生疑惑。供養如來得福甚多。何以故？如來有無量戒德、無量禪定三昧、無量智慧、無量解脫、無量解脫知見，並諸聲聞、緣覺、辟支佛，及一切賢聖，其福甚多不可量。』爾時，師子奮迅菩薩聞佛所說，心生信解，倍加恭敬供養尊重讚歎，即以衣服、房舍、臥具、病瘦湯藥，如是種種一切樂具，皆悉供養，令無所乏。若有善男子善女人，于如來滅度之後，取佛舍利如芥子許供養禮拜，比前功德，其福正等。若復有人持以七寶如須彌山等，於一劫中佈施聲聞、辟支佛，得

Thus have I heard. At one time, the Buddha was in the dragon king's palace of Anavatapta (阿耨達多, name of a lake), together with five hundred Bhikshus. There were one thousand Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas, all being Ekajatipratibaddha (一生補處, those who will be reborn only once more before attaining Buddhahood), all having attained the Dharani (陀羅尼, a type of mantra or spell) position and the ten Bhumi (十地, ten stages of Bodhisattva path). Just as a prince will soon inherit the throne, so too were these Bodhisattvas, adorned with great merit, and soon to attain the position of Abhisheka (灌頂, empowerment) and become Buddhas. These Bodhisattvas came from various Buddha-worlds in other directions, and had no doubts or hesitations regarding the Buddhas. At that time, in the assembly, there was a Bodhisattva named Simhavikridita (師子奮迅, Lion-like Play), who rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, joined his palms, and said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One, if there are good men and good women who, throughout their lives, offer all kinds of delightful things to the Tathagata (如來, Thus Come One), how great is the merit they obtain?'
The Buddha told the Bodhisattva Simhavikridita: 'Do not speak like that, giving rise to doubts in your mind. Offering to the Tathagata brings immense merit. Why? Because the Tathagata has immeasurable precepts and virtues, immeasurable Samadhi (禪定, meditative absorption), immeasurable wisdom, immeasurable liberation, and immeasurable knowledge and vision of liberation, as well as all the Shravakas (聲聞, Hearers), Pratyekabuddhas (緣覺, Solitary Buddhas), and Pratyekabuddhas (辟支佛, Solitary Buddhas), and all the virtuous and noble ones. Their merit is immense and immeasurable.' At that time, the Bodhisattva Simhavikridita, hearing what the Buddha said, gave rise to faith and understanding in his mind, and with redoubled reverence, made offerings, honored, respected, and praised the Buddha. He offered clothing, dwellings, bedding, medicine for illnesses, and all kinds of delightful things, providing everything without lack. If there are good men and good women who, after the Parinirvana (滅度, passing away) of the Tathagata, take a grain-sized relic of the Buddha and make offerings and prostrations, their merit is equal to the previous merit. If someone were to use the seven treasures, as numerous as Mount Sumeru (須彌山, the central mountain in Buddhist cosmology), to make offerings to Shravakas and Pratyekabuddhas for one Kalpa (劫, eon), they would obtain
福多不。不也世尊。佛言若有出家在家之人。能持一錢以用佈施初發菩提心人。得福德比前功德。百分千分百千萬分不及其一。乃至算數譬喻所不能及。如是如是如佛所說。若復有人。于如來滅度之後行於曠路。見於如來塔廟。若善男女。能於一華若一燈燭。若一團泥用涂像前以用供養。若有善男子善女人。持一銅錢施於佛像。為補治故。若以一掬水用灑佛塔地。除去不凈乾花燭燼。若燒香供養。舉足一步詣于塔寺。若一稱南無佛。欲使此人墮三惡道。百千萬劫終無是處。
佛告師子奮迅菩薩。有陀羅尼名曰花聚。多所饒益諸天世人。有能受持讀誦通利如法修行。所得福德倍過於上。復有善男子。供養聲聞緣覺辟支佛菩薩。百千萬倍不及其一。乃至算數譬喻所不能知。是人命終終不生於八難之處卑賤之家。在所生處六情完具。自識宿命。常值三寶見佛聞法。終不忘失菩提之心。能得甚深無量辯才。乘六神通游至十方諸佛世界。咨受妙法教化眾生。爾時世尊即說咒曰。
多狄他 度羅尼 陀羅尼 陀羅尼 磨禰波 步婆散尼 悉題 旃題 涅目脂 涅呵梨 慮伽缽帝 佛陀缽帝 帝梨 烏迦啰[口知]佉伽羅[口知] 啰殊波伽帝 帝阇和帝 毗舍羅佛題 曇摩波嘶 阿叉夜羯卑羯波和帝 阿彌多羯卑
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 福德多嗎？『不多，世尊。』佛說：『如果有人，無論是出家還是在家之人，能用一個銅錢來佈施給初發菩提心的人，所得的福德比之前的功德，百分、千分、百千萬分都不及其一，乃至用算數譬喻都無法比擬。』『是的，是的，正如佛所說。』如果又有人，在如來滅度之後行走在曠野道路上，看見如來的塔廟，無論是善男子還是善女人，能用一朵花、一盞燈燭，或一團泥土塗抹在佛像前用來供養；如果有善男子善女人，用一個銅錢施捨給佛像，爲了修補的緣故；或者用一捧水灑在佛塔的地上，除去不乾淨的東西、乾枯的花朵、蠟燭殘燼；或者燒香供養，抬腳一步走向塔寺，或者唸一聲『南無佛』（皈依佛），想要使這個人墮入三惡道，百千萬劫也不會有這樣的事。
佛告訴師子奮迅菩薩（Lion's Courage Bodhisattva）：『有一種陀羅尼（dharani，總持），名叫花聚（Flower Cluster），能大大饒益諸天和世人。有人能受持、讀誦、通達、如法修行，所得的福德超過上面所說的。』『供養聲聞（sravaka，聽聞佛法者）、緣覺（pratyekabuddha，獨自覺悟者）、辟支佛（pratyekabuddha，同緣覺）、菩薩（bodhisattva，立志成佛者），百千萬倍都不及其一，乃至用算數譬喻都無法知道。』『這個人命終之後，終究不會生於八難之處（八種難以修行的地方）、卑賤的家庭。所生之處六根完具，能自己認識宿命，常能遇到三寶（佛、法、僧），見佛聞法，終不忘失菩提之心，能得到甚深無量的辯才，乘六神通遊歷到十方諸佛世界，請教接受妙法，教化眾生。』這時，世尊就說了咒語：

【English Translation】 English version 'Is merit much?' 'No, World Honored One.' The Buddha said, 'If there is someone, whether a monastic or a layperson, who can use one copper coin to give alms to someone who has initially aroused the Bodhi mind (bodhicitta, the mind of enlightenment), the merit obtained is such that the previous merit cannot compare to it by one percent, one thousandth, one hundred millionth, or even by calculation or analogy.' 'Yes, yes, as the Buddha said.' If there is someone who, after the Nirvana (parinirvana, complete liberation) of the Tathagata (tathāgata, 'the one who has thus come' or 'the one who has thus gone', referring to the Buddha), walks on a wilderness road and sees a stupa (stupa, a dome-shaped structure serving as a Buddhist shrine) or temple of the Tathagata, whether a good man or a good woman, who can use one flower, one lamp, or one lump of mud to smear before the Buddha image for offering; if there is a good man or good woman who donates one copper coin to the Buddha image for the sake of repair; or who sprinkles a handful of water on the ground of the Buddha's stupa, removing impurities, withered flowers, and candle remnants; or who burns incense for offering, takes one step towards the stupa or temple, or utters once 'Namo Buddha' (Homage to the Buddha), wanting to make this person fall into the three evil realms, for hundreds of thousands of kalpas (kalpa, an aeon, a very long period of time) there will never be such a thing.'
The Buddha told the Bodhisattva Simha Vikridita (Simhavikridita Bodhisattva, Lion's Courage Bodhisattva): 'There is a dharani (dharani, a sacred utterance or spell) called Flower Cluster (Puspakuta), which greatly benefits gods and people. If someone can receive, uphold, recite, understand, and practice it according to the Dharma (dharma, the teachings of the Buddha), the merit obtained exceeds what was mentioned above.' 'Offering to Sravakas (sravaka, a hearer or disciple), Pratyekabuddhas (pratyekabuddha, a solitary Buddha), and Bodhisattvas (bodhisattva, an enlightened being), it cannot compare by one hundred thousand times, or even be known by calculation or analogy.' 'After this person's life ends, they will never be born in the eight difficult places (eight conditions where practicing the Dharma is difficult) or a lowly family. In the place where they are born, the six senses will be complete, they will be able to recognize their past lives, they will always encounter the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), see the Buddha and hear the Dharma, they will never forget the Bodhi mind, they will be able to obtain profound and immeasurable eloquence, ride the six supernormal powers and travel to the Buddha worlds in the ten directions, consult and receive the wonderful Dharma, and teach sentient beings.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke the mantra:
Tadyatha Om Dharaṇi Dharaṇi Dharaṇi Maṇibhadre Subhasani Siddhe Candre Nermale Nirahare Lokapati Buddhapati Tili Ukkacolkhi Khakacolki Rasupagate Tejavati Visala Buddhe Dharmapasi Aksayakarpe Vikaravati Amitakarpe

佛說花聚陀羅尼咒經
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 休多舍尼，帝阇（dì shé）啝（hé）帝，泥句（ní jù）婆摩一唏（pó mó yī xī）帝，帝阇（dì shé）伽呵和帝，因題（yīn tí）夜佛題，咥（xì）拏（ná）佛提，莎訶（suō hē）。
佛說：如果有善男子、善女人，想要修持這個陀羅尼（tuó luó ní，總持、真言），可以在二月、三月或八月中，從白月（指農曆初一到十五）的初八到十五，清凈地沐浴，穿上新的乾淨衣服，在安靜的地方安坐于佛的形像前，懸掛絲綢幡蓋，用鮮花和香供養，禮拜懺悔，日夜六時誦持這個陀羅尼。無論是坐著還是行走，都不要讓心散亂。滿了七天之後，應當能夠見到佛。如果見不到，就再繼續兩個七天、三個七天，專心誦持這個陀羅尼，必定能夠見到佛坐在蓮花上為你說法。那時，就能自己認識到宿命，念力堅固，得到陀羅尼的無礙辯才。如果求多聞、求禪定、求智慧、求辯才、求醫方、求咒術、求工巧、求文藝，像這樣種種隨心所愿，全部都能得到。乃至成佛，最終也不會忘失，除了四諦（sì dì，苦、集、滅、道）。
這時，師子奮迅菩薩（shī zi fèn xùn pú sà），諸天人民以及阿修羅（ā xiū luó），各位比丘眾，聽聞佛所說，歡喜地信奉修行。

The Buddha said: If there are good men and good women who wish to practice this Dharani (陀羅尼, Dhāraṇī, a mnemonic device, incantation), they should, in the second, third, or eighth month, from the eighth to the fifteenth day of the white month (referring to the period from the first to the fifteenth of the lunar month), purify themselves by bathing and wearing new, clean clothes. They should sit in a quiet place before an image of the Buddha, hang silk banners and canopies, offer flowers and incense, and perform prostrations and repentance. They should recite this Dharani six times day and night. Whether sitting or walking, they should not let their minds be disturbed. After seven days, they should be able to see the Buddha. If they do not see the Buddha, they should continue for another two or three weeks, reciting this Dharani with focused attention. They will surely see the Buddha sitting on a lotus flower, expounding the Dharma for them. At that time, they will be able to recognize their past lives, their power of mindfulness will be strengthened, and they will attain unobstructed eloquence in Dharani. If they seek extensive learning, seek meditative concentration, seek wisdom, seek eloquence, seek medical knowledge, seek incantations, seek skillful craftsmanship, or seek artistic talent, in this way, whatever they desire in their hearts, they will all obtain. Even until they attain Buddhahood, they will never forget, except for the Four Noble Truths (四諦, sì dì, the Four Noble Truths: suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path to its cessation).
At this time, the Lion Swift Bodhisattva (師子奮迅菩薩, Shī zi fèn xùn pú sà), the gods, people, asuras (阿修羅, ā xiū luó), and all the Bhikshus (比丘, bǐ qiū) joyfully accepted and practiced what the Buddha had said.
