【English Translation】 English version The Buddha Speaks the Dharani Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva

Thus have I heard. At one time, the Buddha was dwelling at Kharadiya Mountain, the place where the Muni sage resided. He was with a great assembly of Bhikshus, countless and innumerable Shravakas, and immeasurable and boundless Bodhisattva Mahasattvas. After finishing the 'Moon Treasury Sutra,' at that time, great fragrant clouds rained from the south, great fragrant rain, great flower clouds rained, great flower rain, immeasurable garland clouds rained, various garland rains, great robe clouds rained, great robe rain. At Kharadiya Mountain, the place where the Muni sage resided, all these great rains completely filled the area. Great dark clouds rained, and at the same time, incense, flowers, clothing, and garlands also proclaimed various immeasurable Dharma sounds. In this order, and so on, there were the sounds of the Three Refuges, the sound of upholding precepts, the sound of patience, the sound of diligence, the sound of meditation, the sound of possessing wisdom and subduing the four maras, the sound of fame universally heard and pervading the three realms, the sound of mindfulness, concentration, and total retention (dharani), the sound of emptiness, signlessness, and wishlessness, the sound of detachment from desire, the sound of form being like foam, the sound of sensation being like a water bubble, the sound of perception being like shimmering heat, the sound of formations being like a banana tree, the sound of consciousness being like illusion, the sound of impermanence, suffering, emptiness, and no-self, the sound of shame and remorse, the sound of the four foundations of mindfulness, the sound of loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity, the sound of realizing all dharmas, the sound of Nirvana having no dwelling, the sound of the Three Vehicles, the sound of turning the Dharma wheel, the sound of accomplishing sentient beings, the sound of delivering from the three evil paths, the sound of the six paramitas, the sound of skillful means, and even the sound of fully possessing the ten bhumis, the sound of sporting with supernatural powers, the sound of sporting with the unsurpassed Great Vehicle, the sound of avaivartika (non-retrogression), the sound of the forbearance of the unproduced dharmas, the sound of entering the ocean of Buddhas. All those who came saw the various rains and also heard the immeasurable sounds of the Dharma, the sound of obtaining clothing and adornments at will. Moreover, they all saw that their two hands had wish-fulfilling jewels, raining down wish-fulfilling treasures. These wish-fulfilling treasures each emitted light. In these lights, they all saw all the Buddhas of the ten directions in countless worlds like the sands of the Ganges River. At the places of these Buddhas, there were Bodhisattvas surrounding them. In the light, they completely saw the Buddhas of the ten directions.

世界。若有病者。蒙光觸身眾病除愈。一切繫縛及應死者。光觸身故皆得解脫。若身行惡口行惡意行惡。光觸身時悉除三惡。若諸飢渴眾生蒙光觸身亦皆飽滿。種種擿罰身受苦切。乏少衣服嚴飾瓔珞種種之物。蒙光觸身隨所憶念悉得滿足。若有殺生偷盜邪淫妄言綺語兩舌惡口罵詈蒙光觸身。如是等惡皆悉得除。諸眾生有求不得苦。蒙光觸身皆悉受樂。光明清凈悉無翳障。風雲塵霧及諸穢苦惱辛酸。不善音聲乃至怖畏惡觸皆得除滅。遠離諸惡。一切邪偽諂曲亦皆無餘。一切惡欲悉得棄捨。諸妙勝樂一切皆集。爾時眾會皆悉堅固難動。不動如地。心無去來不可毀壞。如是大眾得未曾有。以何因緣我等身體今皆大重不能自勝。當於爾時有一帝釋。名曰凈有。于大眾中不遠而坐。於是凈有即從座起。而整衣服右膝著地。合掌向佛以偈問曰。

實語實見者　　實住牟尼尊　久住於法行　　唯愿演說法　佛為實因緣　　能滅眾生苦　何故於此處　　而雨種種雨　大眾皆喜悅　　心生信安樂　開示諸疑惑　　令住于大乘　身難動如地　　及一切人天　皆見如是相　　大眾悉有疑　兩手各皆出　　摩尼寶光明　一切諸衣鬘　　雜飾嚴身具　十方之福田　　離一切過惡　眾苦得休息　　皆因緣救世　一切諸

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本世界。如果有病人，蒙受光明照觸身體，各種疾病都能痊癒。一切被束縛以及本應死去的人，因為光明照觸身體的緣故，都能得到解脫。如果身行惡事、口出惡語、意念邪惡，光明照觸身體時，都能消除這三種惡行。如果各種飢渴的眾生蒙受光明照觸身體，也都能得到飽滿。種種鞭打懲罰加身，遭受痛苦折磨，缺少衣服、莊嚴的飾品、瓔珞等各種物品，蒙受光明照觸身體，隨著心中所憶念的，都能得到滿足。如果有人殺生、偷盜、邪淫、妄語、綺語、兩舌、惡口、罵詈，蒙受光明照觸身體，像這些惡行都能全部消除。各種眾生有求不得的痛苦，蒙受光明照觸身體都能感受到快樂。光明清凈，沒有絲毫的陰翳阻礙，風雲塵霧以及各種污穢痛苦、惱怒辛酸、不善的聲音乃至恐怖畏懼的惡劣觸感都能消除滅盡，遠離各種罪惡。一切虛假欺騙、諂媚奸詐也都沒有剩餘，一切邪惡的慾望都能捨棄，各種美妙殊勝的快樂一切都聚集而來。這時，所有在場的眾人，心意都變得堅固難以動搖，像大地一樣不動，心無所從來，也無所去，不可摧毀。這樣的大眾獲得了前所未有的體驗。因為什麼因緣，我們的身體現在都變得如此沉重，不能自持？當時有一位帝釋（Indra，天神之王），名叫凈有（Shuddha-bhava），在大眾之中離佛不遠的地方坐著。於是凈有立即從座位上站起，整理好衣服，右膝著地，合掌向佛，用偈頌問道：『說真實語、見真實相的人，安住于真實的牟尼（Muni，聖人）尊者，長久安住于佛法修行，唯愿您演說佛法。佛陀是真實的因緣，能夠滅除眾生的痛苦，為什麼在這裡降下種種甘露之雨？大眾都感到喜悅，心中生起信心和安樂，請您開示各種疑惑，令我們安住于大乘佛法。身體難以動搖，如同大地一般，以及一切人天，都見到這樣的景象，大眾心中都有疑問。兩手各自放出摩尼寶（Mani jewel，如意寶珠）的光明，一切衣服、花鬘，各種裝飾身體的物品。您是十方眾生的福田，遠離一切過失罪惡，各種痛苦得以止息，都是因為您救度世間。一切諸…』

【English Translation】 English version World. If there are sick people, by the light touching their bodies, all kinds of diseases are cured. All those who are bound and those who should die, because the light touches their bodies, are liberated. If one's body commits evil deeds, one's mouth speaks evil words, and one's mind harbors evil thoughts, when the light touches the body, all three evils are eliminated. If various hungry and thirsty beings receive the touch of light on their bodies, they are all satisfied. Various beatings and punishments are inflicted on their bodies, causing suffering and torment. Lacking clothes, solemn ornaments, necklaces, and various items, when the light touches their bodies, whatever they remember in their minds is fulfilled. If someone commits killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, false speech, embellished speech, divisive speech, harsh speech, or curses, when the light touches their bodies, such evils are all eliminated. If sentient beings have the suffering of not getting what they seek, when the light touches their bodies, they all experience happiness. The light is pure and clear, without any shadows or obstacles. Wind, clouds, dust, fog, and various defilements, sufferings, annoyances, bitterness, unpleasant sounds, and even terrifying and fearful evil touches are all eliminated and extinguished, and one is far from all evils. All falsehood, deception, flattery, and treachery are also completely gone. All evil desires are abandoned, and all wonderful and supreme joys are gathered together. At this time, all those present are firm and immovable, as immovable as the earth. Their minds have no coming or going, and cannot be destroyed. Such a great assembly has gained an unprecedented experience. For what reason are our bodies now so heavy that we cannot control ourselves? At that time, there was an Indra (Indra, King of Gods) named Shuddha-bhava (Shuddha-bhava, Pure Existence), sitting not far from the Buddha in the assembly. Then Shuddha-bhava immediately rose from his seat, adjusted his clothes, knelt on his right knee, joined his palms, and asked the Buddha in verse: 『The one who speaks truthfully and sees the true form, the Muni (Muni, Sage) who dwells in truth, has long dwelt in the practice of the Dharma. May you expound the Dharma. The Buddha is the true cause and condition, able to eliminate the suffering of sentient beings. Why is it that here, various rains of nectar are falling? The assembly is joyful, and faith and happiness arise in their hearts. Please reveal all doubts and let us abide in the Great Vehicle. The body is difficult to move, like the earth, and all humans and gods see such a sight. The assembly all has doubts. Each hand emits the light of a Mani jewel (Mani jewel, wish-fulfilling jewel), all clothes, garlands, and various ornaments for adorning the body. You are the field of merit for all sentient beings in the ten directions, far from all faults and evils. All sufferings are rested, all because you save the world. All the…』

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本天人問道：『沒有什麼能描述這其中的因緣，是誰擁有如此神通之力，來到這個地方？爲了佛陀、諸菩薩、梵摩（Brahmā，大梵天）和帝釋（Indra，帝釋天）等，唯愿救世者能講述這神通的因緣。』爾時，世尊告訴凈有帝釋說：『正是這樣，正是這樣。你現在仔細聽好，我將為你解說。是地藏菩薩摩訶薩（Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva，地藏大菩薩）于無量阿僧祇劫（asamkhya kalpas，無數劫）以來，爲了在五濁惡世中成就眾生而來到這裡。他與八十頻婆那由他百千億等大菩薩一同前來，都是爲了禮拜、供養、恭敬，想要見到大眾，想要聽大眾隨喜。這地藏菩薩化作沙門（śrāmaṇa，出家修行者）的形象，展現神通力所變化的景象。有如此等等盛大的莊嚴之事，也是如來（Tathāgata，佛）不可思議的無量功德。他也被稱為聲聞（śrāvaka，聽聞佛法者）、辟支佛（Pratyekabuddha，緣覺）正法的伏藏，也被稱為解脫智慧之寶的大寶庫，也被稱為菩薩救世之法，也被稱為涅槃（nirvāṇa，寂滅）導師的商主，猶如如意寶珠能滿足一切所求，也如寶庫般供給一切商人，也如大地能生長善根，也是求取涅槃之法的神器，也是功德清凈的寶瓶，也是日月照明的行處，也是黑暗幽冥中的巨大火炬，如月亮般清涼消除煩惱之熱，如無足之人得到如意的乘具，如亂心之人得到甘露之味，如衰弱年老之人遇到枴杖。他是大福田的根本，捨棄之心毫無凝滯，如後來的流水般救助苦難，如升起的親友般消除結使之炎的云蓋，如清凈的水珠消除污穢，若在險峻的迴路上指示正路，是疲憊至極的人可以安穩休息的林地，是四種湍急河流般的生死輪迴的橋樑，也是度過彼岸的無上大船，是三種善根（無貪、無嗔、無癡）的殊勝果報，是諸位佈施者最上的大乘，持戒不動如須彌山（Sumeru，須彌山），精進難以摧毀猶如金剛（vajra，金剛），忍辱堅固也如大地，總持正法心中沒有三相（能、所、中間），禪定莊嚴如美妙的花鬘，智慧深廣猶如大海，心無所依猶如虛空，方便善巧而無染著。』

【English Translation】 English version The Deva asked: 'Nothing can describe the cause and condition of this. Whose supernatural power is it that has brought you here? For the sake of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Brahma (Brahmā, the creator god), and Indra (Indra, king of the gods), we beseech the savior of the world to speak of the cause and condition of this supernatural power.' At that time, the World-Honored One said to Pure Existence Indra: 'So it is, so it is. Now listen carefully, and I will explain it to you. It is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva, the great Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha) who, for countless asamkhya kalpas (asamkhya kalpas, countless eons), has come here to accomplish sentient beings in this world of five turbidities. He has come together with eighty pimbas nayutas hundreds of thousands of billions of great Bodhisattvas, all to pay homage, make offerings, and show reverence, desiring to see the assembly, desiring to hear the assembly rejoice. This Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has manifested as a śrāmaṇa (śrāmaṇa, wandering ascetic), displaying the transformations of supernatural power. There are such grand and magnificent events, which are also the inconceivable and immeasurable merits of the Tathāgata (Tathāgata, the thus-gone one). He is also known as the hidden treasure of the Dharma of the śrāvakas (śrāvaka, one who hears the teachings), Pratyekabuddhas (Pratyekabuddha, solitary Buddha), also known as the great treasure store of the wisdom of liberation, also known as the Bodhisattva's Dharma of saving the world, also known as the merchant chief who guides to nirvāṇa (nirvāṇa, cessation), like a wish-fulfilling jewel that satisfies all desires, also like a treasure store for all merchants, also like the earth that can produce good roots, also a divine tool for seeking the Dharma of nirvāṇa, also a pure vase of merit, also a place where the sun and moon illuminate, also a great torch in the darkness and gloom, like the moon's coolness relieving the heat of afflictions, like a footless person obtaining a wish-fulfilling vehicle, like a confused person obtaining the taste of nectar, like a weak and old person encountering a walking stick. He is the root of the great field of blessings, with a mind free from stagnation, like a flowing stream saving from suffering, like rising relatives removing the cloud cover of the flames of defilements, like a clear water pearl removing impurities, if on a dangerous and winding road, he shows the right path, he is a peaceful forest seat for the extremely weary, he is a bridge over the four swift currents of samsara, also a supreme great ship for crossing to the other shore, he is the excellent reward of the three good roots (non-greed, non-hatred, non-delusion), he is the supreme great vehicle for all givers, upholding the precepts unmoving like Mount Sumeru (Sumeru, the central world-mountain), diligent and indestructible like a vajra (vajra, diamond), patient and enduring also like the earth, upholding the Dharma with a mind without the three aspects (subject, object, and middle), meditation adorned like a beautiful garland, wisdom profound and vast like the ocean, a mind without reliance like empty space, skillful in means without attachment.'

如眾華聚。處於外道如師子王。遠離煩惱如犀一角。滅諸結使如洗塵垢。能除臭穢如疾飄風。將護有疾如彼良醫。消除眾病如妙藥王。斷除煩惱如持利劍。為怖畏者作大親友。防諸怨敵如堅城塹。能除其濁如清凈水。濟諸饑乏猶如茸果。亦是裸者最勝衣服。與盛熱者為密雲蓋。具足如是善根果報。清凈第一堅固不壞。妙色處能生受樂。于大會處而生慚愧。除諸結使。禪定行處乘四正勤。四攝決流忍辱大地亦如須彌。總持深廣如彼大海。神足無礙自在如虛空。降伏諸魔一切結習。修行正道無量禪定。亦為一切種種智之洲渚。能轉無上清凈法輪。地藏菩薩摩訶薩為欲來故先現此瑞。亦為供養恭敬我故來至於此。佛復讚歎地藏菩薩言。汝從南方來。八十頻婆百千那由他菩薩以神通力俱來至此。悉作聲聞像在如來前。頂禮佛足右繞三匝。即為合掌而說偈言。

兩足最勝大導師　　恒修于慈發善心　能生忍辱如大地　　解脫眾生除瞋恚　具足最大諸相好　　而能嚴飾一切界　能滿一切諸福田　　常修實語及大慈　能悉斷除諸受網　　皆能如實善安住　舍余清凈諸佛國　　其中眾生具善根　本願欲度濁惡世　　成就一切諸眾生　能生堅固勤精進　　超過無量諸苦行　常修難行恐怖處　　超過無量諸苦行　布

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：猶如眾多鮮花聚集在一起。處於外道之中，如同獅子之王。遠離煩惱，如同犀牛的獨角。滅除各種煩惱的束縛，如同洗去塵垢。能夠去除臭穢，如同疾風飄過。照顧有疾病的人，如同良醫。消除各種疾病，如同妙藥之王。斷除煩惱，如同手持利劍。為恐懼的人們作大親友。防禦各種怨敵，如同堅固的城墻。能夠去除污濁，如同清凈的水。救濟飢餓的人們，猶如成熟的果實。也是裸體者最殊勝的衣服。為炎熱的人們提供濃密的云蓋。具備如此圓滿的善根果報，清凈第一，堅固不壞。美妙的處所能夠產生快樂的感受。在大會之處能夠生起慚愧之心。去除各種煩惱的束縛。在禪定修行之處，奉行四正勤。四攝法如決堤之水般涌流，忍辱之心廣大如大地，也如須彌山。總持的智慧深廣如大海。神足通無礙自在，如同虛空。降伏各種魔障和一切煩惱習氣。修行正道和無量的禪定。也是一切種種智慧的洲渚。能夠轉動無上清凈的法輪。地藏菩薩摩訶薩（Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva，偉大的菩薩）爲了前來此處，所以先顯現這些瑞相。也是爲了供養恭敬我，所以來到這裡。佛陀又讚歎地藏菩薩說：『你從南方而來，八十頻婆（pimba，數量單位）百千那由他（nayuta，數量單位）菩薩以神通力一同來到這裡，都示現為聲聞（sravaka，聽聞佛法而證悟的弟子）的形象，在如來（Tathagata，佛的稱號）面前，頂禮佛足，右繞三匝，然後合掌說偈頌：『兩足尊中最殊勝的大導師，恒常修習慈悲，發起善良之心，能夠生起忍辱之心，如同大地一般，解脫眾生，去除瞋恚。具足最圓滿的各種相好，能夠莊嚴裝飾一切世界，能夠滿足一切諸福田，常修真實語和大慈悲心，能夠完全斷除各種感受的羅網，都能夠如實地安住。捨棄其他清凈的諸佛國土，其中的眾生都具備善良的根基，本來的願望是度化污濁惡世的眾生，成就一切諸眾生。能夠生起堅固的勤奮精進之心，超過無量的各種苦行，常在難以修行和恐怖之處修行，超過無量的各種苦行，佈施。』

【English Translation】 English version: Like a gathering of many flowers. Being among non-Buddhists is like a lion king. Being far from afflictions is like a rhinoceros's single horn. Eradicating all fetters is like washing away dust. Being able to remove foulness is like a swift wind. Caring for the sick is like a good doctor. Eliminating all diseases is like a king of wondrous medicine. Cutting off afflictions is like wielding a sharp sword. Being a great friend to those who are fearful. Defending against enemies is like a strong fortress. Being able to remove turbidity is like pure water. Aiding the hungry is like ripe fruit. Also, being the most excellent clothing for the naked. Providing a dense cloud cover for those suffering from heat. Possessing such complete roots of goodness and their rewards, being the purest, most steadfast, and indestructible. A wondrous place capable of generating joyful experiences. Able to generate shame in great assemblies. Removing all fetters. In places of meditative practice, practicing the Four Right Exertions. The Four Means of Attraction flow like a bursting dam, patience is as vast as the earth, and also like Mount Sumeru (Sumeru, the central world-mountain in Buddhist cosmology). The Dharani (Dharani, a type of Buddhist mantra or spell) is as deep and vast as the ocean. Spiritual powers are unobstructed and free, like the empty sky. Subduing all demons and all habitual afflictions. Cultivating the right path and immeasurable meditations. Also, being an island of all kinds of wisdom. Able to turn the unsurpassed pure Dharma wheel. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva, the great bodhisattva) manifests these auspicious signs in advance because he wishes to come here. Also, he comes here to make offerings and show reverence to me.' The Buddha further praised Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, saying, 'You come from the south, with eighty pimba (pimba, a unit of measurement) hundreds of thousands of nayutas (nayuta, a unit of measurement) of bodhisattvas, all coming here together through their spiritual powers, all appearing as sravakas (sravaka, a disciple who attains enlightenment by hearing the Buddha's teachings), before the Tathagata (Tathagata, 'one who has thus come,' an epithet of the Buddha), bowing at the Buddha's feet, circumambulating three times to the right, and then joining their palms and speaking in verse: 'The most excellent great guide among the two-legged, constantly cultivating compassion and generating good intentions, able to generate patience like the earth, liberating beings and removing anger. Possessing the most complete marks and characteristics, able to adorn all realms, able to fulfill all fields of merit, constantly cultivating truthful speech and great compassion, able to completely cut off all nets of sensation, all able to abide well in reality. Abandoning other pure Buddha lands, in which beings possess good roots, the original vow is to liberate beings in the turbid and evil world, accomplishing all beings. Able to generate steadfast diligence and vigor, surpassing immeasurable sufferings, constantly practicing in difficult and fearful places, surpassing immeasurable sufferings, giving.'

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本佈施、持戒、忍辱、精進，修習禪定與智慧，無數的諸佛、菩薩等，以及聲聞大眾，我都供養。充分供給他們飢渴所需的食物和飲料，以及治療疾病的湯藥，救度一切被束縛的眾生。我從最初就捨棄身命，爲了利益眾生而沒有貪戀和吝惜。常常爲了佛法而捨棄身體，將皮、骨、肉、血佈施給眾生。將自己所得到的快樂全部捨棄，以大慈悲心對待一切眾生。對於處在煩惱之網中的眾生，通過修行寂滅之道，全部超度他們。開啟和關閉一切六根（眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意），常常能夠遠離各種慾望。修習苦、無常、空、無我，也善於觀察世俗的真理（世諦）。諸苦的根源在於愛慾，能夠徹底斷絕各種煩惱。因為這個緣故，攝持六根，能夠善於斷除一切愛慾。能夠修習無量的大悲法門，普遍給予一切眾生。我一定不捨棄大誓願，但也不執著于殊勝的菩提（覺悟）。一切眾生的如如之相，也看到盲昧的眾生遭受痛苦。這樣思惟，爲了眾生，便能勤奮修習大精進。發起超凡的精進，佈施、持戒、忍辱，修習各種禪定以及智慧。猶如母親對待自己唯一的孩子，以慈愛之心養育他。你對於眾生也應該這樣，常常能夠賑濟和供給一切。因此你迅速獲得菩提，救度一切無量的眾生。你最初修習菩提的時候，發誓愿不捨棄一個眾生。沒有不依止佈施、持戒、忍辱，精進、禪定，修習智慧的。常常能夠在末法時代中，尋求無上殊勝的菩提。因此救世主在末劫之時，迅速獲得無上最殊勝的道。調伏惡魔、夜叉（一種鬼神）等，各種惡龍、神以及人。猶如金剛摧毀各種煩惱結，完全能夠安住于各種聖道。為無量的眾生授記，將來成就菩提無上道。功德最殊勝、明智的人，是真正的福田中的大將。在無量的世界中作為救世主，覆蓋一切眾生。

修習種種施　我今當學發弘誓　　我今來此佛神足　我當修學處濁世　　能到第一勝菩提

爾時地藏菩薩摩訶薩以若干種天華香華瓔珞而散佛上。所散之華變成寶蓋。是時地藏菩薩在佛前坐。諦聽受經。諸來會眾見地藏菩薩生希有想。以種種香華瓔珞繒蓋幢幡及諸衣服。以散地藏菩薩上。作如是言。我等快得善利。佛神力故得見如是諸大丈夫。禮敬問訊。

爾時復有渴仰菩薩摩訶薩。從座而起。整其衣服右膝著地。合掌向佛白佛言。世尊此善男子從何佛國而來至此。修何善根能作如是種種讚歎說佛功德。我從昔來未曾聞見。

爾時世尊告渴仰菩薩。止止大士。不須是聞一切大眾及諸天人。除佛如來無有能知。此善男子功德數量。如來今日必當顯說。但諸天人愚闇自弊。是族姓子成就不可思議功德首楞嚴三昧。入如來行處得無生法忍。于諸佛法而得自在。入深法忍已度一切智海。此善男子游戲。以師子光三昧登一切智山須彌之頂。摧伏異學成就眾生。在所佛國悉皆止住。隨諸佛國入智三昧。以是三昧力故。令一切國土眾生見諸菩薩。隨諸佛國入智樂三昧。于彼國土所有供養佛。隨諸佛國入清凈樂三昧。入是三昧悉見諸欲一切過悉。而於心相清凈無染。隨諸佛土入慚愧三昧。而於彼國令諸眾生悉得

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本修習種種佈施我今應當學習發起宏大的誓願，我今來到佛陀的神足之處。我當修學于這充滿污濁的世界，能夠到達第一殊勝的菩提境界。

這時，地藏菩薩摩訶薩用各種各樣的天華、香華、瓔珞散在佛陀身上。所散的花變成寶蓋。當時地藏菩薩在佛前坐著，專注地聽受經文。各位來參加法會的聽眾，見到地藏菩薩，都生起稀有難得的想法，用各種各樣的香華、瓔珞、繒蓋、幢幡以及各種衣服，散在地藏菩薩身上，這樣說道：『我們真是太幸運了，因為佛陀的神力，能夠見到這樣的大丈夫，禮敬問候。』

這時，又有一位渴仰菩薩摩訶薩，從座位上站起來，整理好衣服，右膝著地，合掌向佛，稟告佛陀說：『世尊，這位善男子是從哪個佛國來到這裡？修習了什麼善根，能夠這樣讚歎，宣說佛陀的功德？我從過去到現在，從未曾聽聞見過。』

這時，世尊告訴渴仰菩薩：『停止，停止，大士！不必再問了。所有的大眾以及諸天人，除了佛陀如來，沒有誰能夠完全知曉這位善男子的功德數量。如來今天必定要顯說。只是諸天人愚昧昏暗，被自身所矇蔽。這位族姓之子成就了不可思議功德的首楞嚴三昧（一切事究竟堅固的意思），進入如來的行處，得到無生法忍（對諸法不生不滅的體悟）。對於諸佛的教法，而得自在。進入甚深法忍，已經度過一切智慧之海。這位善男子游戲神通，以師子光三昧（如獅子般的光明禪定）登上一切智慧之山，須彌山的頂峰，摧伏各種不同的學說，成就眾生。在所到的佛國都停留住下，隨順各個佛國進入智慧三昧。因為這種三昧的力量，讓一切國土的眾生見到諸位菩薩。隨順各個佛國進入智慧喜樂三昧，在那些國土供養佛陀。隨順各個佛國進入清凈喜樂三昧，進入這種三昧，完全看清各種慾望的一切過失，而內心清凈沒有污染。隨順各個佛土進入慚愧三昧，從而在那個佛國，讓所有眾生都得到慚愧之心。』

【English Translation】 English version Practicing Various Kinds of Giving I shall now learn to make great vows; I have come here to the Buddha's divine feet. I shall cultivate and learn in this turbid world, able to reach the supreme Bodhi.

At that time, Ksitigarbha (Earth Treasury) Bodhisattva Mahasattva scattered various kinds of heavenly flowers, fragrant flowers, and necklaces upon the Buddha. The scattered flowers transformed into jeweled canopies. At that time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sat before the Buddha, attentively listening to and receiving the sutra. All those assembled, seeing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, conceived rare and wondrous thoughts, and scattered various kinds of fragrant flowers, necklaces, silken canopies, banners, and clothing upon Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, saying, 'We are truly fortunate to have gained such benefit. By the Buddha's divine power, we are able to see such great beings, and pay our respects and inquire after their well-being.'

At that time, there was also a Bodhisattva Mahasattva named Thirsting-for-Guidance, who arose from his seat, arranged his robes, knelt on his right knee, and, with palms joined, said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, from which Buddha-land did this good man come to this place? What good roots has he cultivated to be able to offer such praise and speak of the Buddha's merits? From the past until now, I have never heard or seen such a thing.'

At that time, the World Honored One said to Thirsting-for-Guidance Bodhisattva, 'Stop, stop, great being! There is no need to ask further. Among all the assembly and the gods and humans, none but the Buddhas and Tathagatas can fully know the extent of this good man's merits. The Tathagata will surely reveal them today. It is only that the gods and humans are foolish and darkened, obscured by their own faults. This son of a noble family has achieved the Samadhi of Surangama (heroic advance), with inconceivable merits, entered the Tathagata's sphere of activity, and attained the forbearance of non-origination (understanding of the non-arising and non-ceasing nature of all dharmas). He has gained mastery over the Buddhas' teachings, and having entered deep forbearance, has crossed the ocean of all wisdom. This good man playfully manifests, and with the Samadhi of Lion's Light (lion-like light concentration), ascends the mountain of all wisdom, the summit of Mount Sumeru, subduing heretical teachings and accomplishing the salvation of sentient beings. In whatever Buddha-land he dwells, he enters the Samadhi of Wisdom in accordance with the Buddha-land. By the power of this Samadhi, he causes all beings in the land to see the Bodhisattvas. In accordance with the Buddha-lands, he enters the Samadhi of Wisdom and Joy, making offerings to the Buddhas in those lands. In accordance with the Buddha-lands, he enters the Samadhi of Pure Joy, and upon entering this Samadhi, he sees all the faults of all desires, and his mind is pure and undefiled. In accordance with the Buddha-lands, he enters the Samadhi of Shame and Remorse, thereby causing all beings in that land to attain shame and remorse.'

They follow various Buddha-lands into the Samadhi of Banner Observation (a type of meditation), and can also enable all beings in those Buddha-lands to detest and abandon all evil deeds, uphold the ten virtues, and ascend to the heavenly realms. They follow various Buddha-lands and deeply enter the Samadhi of Great Compassionate Sound (a type of meditation), and can also enable all beings in those Buddha-lands to have compassion for each other, generate hearts of loving-kindness, attain fearless minds, have no angry minds, and equally cherish and remember each other with compassion.

In various Buddha-lands, if famine arises, he causes the famine to completely disappear, and everything becomes abundant. This clansman, with the majestic and spiritual power of this Samadhi, is able to accomplish all sentient beings. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva accomplishes sentient beings with inconceivable merits and virtues.

His adornment and power are like the thunder of lightning, and in the time it takes to eat a meal, he can accomplish countless billions of nayutas of people who are endowed with good roots.

【English Translation】 English version Immeasurable 'asamkhya' (Sanskrit, meaning countless) beings, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, are enabled by this countenance to escape all evils and fully achieve inconceivable merits. This good man, with his firm vow power, can enable all beings to achieve enlightenment. Such a son of a good family sometimes manifests as the body of Brahma (Hindu god) to accomplish beings, sometimes as the body of Ishvara (Hindu god), Mahadeva (Hindu god), or Maheshvara (Hindu god). Sometimes he manifests as the body of Parinirmita-vasavartin (the highest of the six heavens in the desire realm), Nirmanarati (one of the six heavens in the desire realm), Tushita (one of the six heavens in the desire realm), Yama (one of the six heavens in the desire realm), Shakra (the lord of the gods), or the Four Heavenly Kings. Sometimes he manifests as the body of a Bodhisattva, sometimes as the body of a Pratyekabuddha, or as the body of a Shravaka. Sometimes he manifests as the body of a Chakravartin (universal monarch), a Brahmin (priest caste), a Kshatriya (warrior caste), a Vaishya (merchant caste), or a Shudra (laborer caste). Sometimes he manifests as the body of a man or a woman, sometimes as the body of a boy or a girl. Sometimes he manifests as the body of a Gandharva (celestial musician), a Kinnara (celestial musician), a Mahoraga (great serpent deity), a Deva (god) or a Naga (dragon), or a Yaksha (guardian spirit). Sometimes he manifests as the body of a Rakshasa (demon), sometimes as the body of a Kumbhanda (pot-shaped demon), sometimes as the body of a Pishacha (flesh-eating demon), sometimes as the body of a Putana (foul-smelling demon). Sometimes he manifests as the body of a lion, sometimes as the body of a tiger or a wolf, sometimes as the body of a dove or a horse, sometimes as the body of a water buffalo, sometimes as the body of various birds. Sometimes he manifests as the body of Yama (the lord of death), sometimes as the body of a hell-warden, sometimes as the body of hell itself, expounding various Dharmas for all beings, revealing the Three Vehicles (Shravaka Vehicle, Pratyekabuddha Vehicle, Bodhisattva Vehicle) according to their capacities, enabling them all to attain the state of non-retrogression. This good man has achieved such an inconceivable treasury of merit, adorning himself with the jewel of liberation. He is also the mother of all Dharmas of the Bodhisattvas, the supreme merchant leading to Great Nirvana. Good man, Maitreya (future Buddha), Manjushri (Bodhisattva of wisdom), Avalokiteshvara (Bodhisattva of compassion), Samantabhadra (Bodhisattva of practice), and others are the leaders. If someone were to pay homage and make offerings to such great Bodhisattvas, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, for a hundred kalpas (eons), seeking their wishes, it would not equal the merit of paying homage and making offerings to Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva for the duration of a single meal. The merit is far greater, and the wishes sought will be quickly fulfilled. Why? Because this Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva can greatly benefit all beings, like a wish-fulfilling jewel. This son of a good family, wishing to accomplish beings, can generate a firm and great treasury of compassion, fulfilling the wishes of all beings. Therefore, good men and good women, you should make offerings to Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva. At that time, the assembly, including Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas (great Bodhisattvas) and Shravakas (hearers) who came from the ten directions, all the Devas (gods), humans, Yakshas (guardian spirits), Gandharvas (celestial musicians), etc., rose from their seats...

而起隨力供養。或以金銀等。以敬彼地藏菩薩上。或以種種寶華衣服摩尼寶珠及華鬘珠瓔珞金縷幡蓋。以散地藏菩薩上。復以無量音樂種種讚頌供養地藏菩薩。爾時地藏菩薩摩訶薩復以此供施修伽陀即說偈言。

天人龍神所供養　　十方菩薩皆來集　聞有救世大功德　　愿佛受我最勝供

爾時地藏菩薩摩訶薩說是偈已頂禮佛足。於是世尊復說偈言。

欲起堅固凈智者　　能滅眾生諸煩惱　令眾得樂如寶手　　能斷結納如金剛　汝起大悲諸精進　　以是供養最勝尊　其心如海救一切　　度諸眾生苦彼岸

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：然後起身，儘自己的能力供養。或者用金銀等，來尊敬地藏菩薩（Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva）。或者用各種寶華、衣服、摩尼寶珠以及華鬘、珠瓔珞、金縷幡蓋，來散在（供養）地藏菩薩上。再用無量的音樂和各種讚頌來供養地藏菩薩。這時，地藏菩薩摩訶薩（Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva-Mahasattva）又用這些供施修伽陀（Sugata，如來）的功德，說了這樣的偈頌：

『天人龍神所供養，十方菩薩皆來集，聞有救世大功德，愿佛受我最勝供。』

這時，地藏菩薩摩訶薩說完這偈頌后，頂禮佛足。於是，世尊（Lord Buddha）又說了偈頌：

『欲起堅固凈智者，能滅眾生諸煩惱，令眾得樂如寶手，能斷結納如金剛，汝起大悲諸精進，以是供養最勝尊，其心如海救一切，度諸眾生苦彼岸。』

這時，地藏菩薩摩訶薩作禮後起身，對佛說：『世尊（Lord Buddha），我應當救濟度化這四天下（the four continents）。增長比丘（bhiksu，男出家人）、比丘尼（bhiksuni，女出家人）、優婆塞（upasaka，男居士）、優婆夷（upasika，女居士）的壽命。護念增長他們的壽命，使他們身體沒有疾病。增長他們的色相和體力，增長他們的名稱，增長他們的資財產業，增長他們的親友，增長他們的眷屬，增長他們的信心和戒律，增長他們的多聞，增長他們的佈施，增長他們的忍辱，增長他們的方便，增長他們的學習意願以及諸聖諦（the Four Noble Truths）。增長人們對於大乘（Mahayana）一切延道的理解，增長照明真實法相的能力，增長成就一切眾生的功德，增長髮起大慈悲喜捨之心，增長無量的一切清凈之法，增長美妙的稱譽，名聞三界（the Triple Realm），增長法雨滋潤三有（the Three Realms）的流轉，增長大地一切事物的滋味，增長眾生所有的善業，增長法氣和無數的福德善行，增長智慧，使一切都得到照明，增長六波羅蜜（the Six Paramitas）所修行的道路，增長五眼（the Five Eyes）的通達無礙，增長灌頂，增長涅槃（Nirvana），增長威德，照明一切未曾有之法。』

【English Translation】 English version: Then, rising up, they offer according to their ability. Or with gold and silver, etc., to respectfully honor that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Or with various precious flowers, clothing, mani jewels, as well as flower garlands, jeweled necklaces, golden thread banners and canopies, to scatter upon (offer to) Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Furthermore, with immeasurable music and various praises, they make offerings to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. At that time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva-Mahasattva, with these offerings of Sugata, then spoke this verse:

'Worshipped by gods, humans, and dragons, Bodhisattvas from the ten directions gather, Hearing of the great merit of saving the world, May the Buddha receive my supreme offering.'

At that time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva-Mahasattva, after speaking this verse, prostrated at the Buddha's feet. Thereupon, the Lord Buddha spoke another verse:

'Those who wish to cultivate firm and pure wisdom, Can extinguish all the afflictions of sentient beings, Bringing joy to beings like a precious hand, Able to sever bonds like a diamond, You arise with great compassion and diligence, With this offering to the most supreme one, Your heart is like the sea, saving all, Delivering all beings to the shore of liberation.'

At that time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva-Mahasattva, after making obeisance, arose and said to the Buddha: 'Lord Buddha, I shall deliver and liberate these four continents. Increase the lifespan of bhiksus (monks), bhiksunis (nuns), upasakas (male lay devotees), and upasikas (female lay devotees). Protect and increase their lifespan, so that their bodies are free from illness. Increase their complexion and strength, increase their fame, increase their wealth and possessions, increase their friends, increase their family members, increase their faith and precepts, increase their learning, increase their generosity, increase their patience, increase their skillful means, increase their desire for learning and the Four Noble Truths. Increase people's understanding of all the paths of the Mahayana, increase the ability to illuminate the true nature of reality, increase the merit of accomplishing all sentient beings, increase the arising of great compassion, joy, and equanimity, increase all immeasurable pure dharmas, increase the wonderful reputation, spreading fame throughout the Triple Realm, increase the rain of dharma that nourishes the cycle of the Three Realms, increase the flavor of all things on earth, increase all the good karma of sentient beings, increase the dharma energy and countless meritorious deeds, increase wisdom, so that everything is illuminated, increase the path practiced by the Six Paramitas, increase the unobstructed penetration of the Five Eyes, increase empowerment, increase Nirvana, increase the majestic virtue, illuminating all unprecedented dharmas.'

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：真求梨（Jenqiuli，咒語中的一個詞）（四十七）休樓休樓休樓（Xiulou xiulou xiulou，咒語中的一個詞）（四十八）鳩流兜彌梨（Jiuliudou Mili，咒語中的一個詞）（四十九）彌梨板（Mili Ban，咒語中的一個詞）（五十）婆荼婆可羅（Potuo Poke Luo，咒語中的一個詞）（五十一）𨶳𨶳梨（Sasa Li，咒語中的一個詞）（五十二）嚧𠺕嚧樓𠺕（Lulu Loulou Lu，咒語中的一個詞）（五十三）婆婆阇毗（Popo Shepi，咒語中的一個詞）（五十四）輪檀彌（Luntan Mi，咒語中的一個詞）（五十五）私婆呵（Suo Pohe，咒語中的一個詞）（五十六）摩訶復陀迦樓沙毗輪檀瀰瀰私婆呵（Mohe Futuo Jialousha Piluntan Misuo Pohe，咒語中的一個詞）（五十七）迦樓沙羅波毗輪檀彌私婆呵（Jialousha Luopo Piluntan Misuo Pohe，咒語中的一個詞）（五十八）迦樓沙烏阇毗揄檀彌私婆呵（Jialousha Wushe Pi Yutan Misuo Pohe，咒語中的一個詞）（五十九）薩婆呵奢婆利富羅檀彌私婆呵（Sapo Heshe Polifuluo Tantan Misuo Pohe，咒語中的一個詞）（六十）薩婆婆斯耶三波陀瀰瀰私波呵（Sapo Poshiye Sanbotuo Misuo Pohe，咒語中的一個詞）（六十一）薩婆多他多阿帙底私婆呵（Sapo Tuotuo Azhidi Suo Pohe，咒語中的一個詞）（六十二）薩婆菩提薩埵阿帙底阿㝹元地底私婆呵（Sapo Puti Sadu Azhidi Ayou Yuandidi Suo Pohe，咒語中的一個詞）（六十三）

世尊，現在所說的咒語是前所未有的威德光明，是各種功德的根本，是記錄和辨別的章句陀羅尼神咒。我過去在恒河沙數諸佛那裡受持這個咒語，它能增長一切純潔善良的法，增長各種善根的根莖枝葉花果藥穀雨水土地火焰風，增長喜悅快樂，增長財物，增長殊勝美妙，增長產業。這個咒語的威力既能善於繫縛，也能善於解脫。世尊宣說這個陀羅尼咒，能與四大部洲的聲聞弟子，包括比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷，都給予護念，增長他們的財物和一切產業，增長佛法，使佛法能夠流佈，使廣大無量的三界眾生都能夠享受安樂。

這時，地藏菩薩廣泛宣說了這樣的大記莂經。當時，佉羅提耶山發生了六種震動，所有的音樂之聲，無需敲擊自然鳴響，天空中降下各種寶華，一切大眾都感到震驚害怕，生起了稀有之想。

這時，阿難從座位上站起來，袒露右肩，雙手合掌，向佛稟告說：『世尊，這部佛法應當叫什麼名字？應當如何受持？應當如何修行？』佛告訴阿難說：『這部經……』

【English Translation】 English version: Jenqiuli (a word in the mantra) (47), Xiulou xiulou xiulou (a word in the mantra) (48), Jiuliudou Mili (a word in the mantra) (49), Mili Ban (a word in the mantra) (50), Potuo Poke Luo (a word in the mantra) (51), Sasa Li (a word in the mantra) (52), Lulu Loulou Lu (a word in the mantra) (53), Popo Shepi (a word in the mantra) (54), Luntan Mi (a word in the mantra) (55), Suo Pohe (a word in the mantra) (56), Mohe Futuo Jialousha Piluntan Misuo Pohe (a word in the mantra) (57), Jialousha Luopo Piluntan Misuo Pohe (a word in the mantra) (58), Jialousha Wushe Pi Yutan Misuo Pohe (a word in the mantra) (59), Sapo Heshe Polifuluo Tantan Misuo Pohe (a word in the mantra) (60), Sapo Poshiye Sanbotuo Misuo Pohe (a word in the mantra) (61), Sapo Tuotuo Azhidi Suo Pohe (a word in the mantra) (62), Sapo Puti Sadu Azhidi Ayou Yuandidi Suo Pohe (a word in the mantra) (63).

World Honored One, the mantra now spoken possesses unprecedented majestic virtue and illumination. It is the root of all virtues, a Dharani divine mantra that records and distinguishes chapters and verses. In the past, I received and upheld this mantra from Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River. It increases all pure and virtuous dharmas, increases the roots, stems, branches, leaves, flowers, fruits, medicinal herbs, grains, rain, water, earth, fire, and wind of all good roots. It increases joy and happiness, increases wealth, increases excellence and wonder, and increases industries. The power of this mantra is skillful in binding and also skillful in liberating. The World Honored One speaks this Dharani mantra, which protects and supports all the Shravaka disciples in the four continents, including Bhikshus, Bhikshunis, Upasakas, and Upasikas, increasing their wealth and all their industries, increasing the Buddhadharma, enabling it to spread, and allowing the vast and boundless Three Realms to enjoy happiness.

At that time, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva extensively proclaimed such a Great Prediction Sutra. At that time, Mount Kharadiya shook in six ways. All musical sounds played without being struck. Precious flowers rained down. All the assembly were startled and fearful, giving rise to rare thoughts.

At that time, Ananda rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, and with his palms together, said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, what should this Dharma be called? How should it be received and upheld? How should it be practiced?' The Buddha told Ananda, 'This Sutra...'

名為地藏菩薩誓願度諸眾生。如是受持。複名大方廣。如是受持。亦名師子光三昧。亦名隨諸佛土入慚愧三昧。如是受持。亦名陀羅尼神咒。如是受持。修行法用汝今復聽。佛告阿難。若有眾生臨當形戮杻械枷鎖疾病困苦鬼魅所著者。一心敬禮地藏菩薩稱名。至心誦持此咒。懺悔根本重罪發菩提心。從今始以盡未來際。不殺不盜不淫不妄語不飲酒。不食肉不食五辛。受三聚戒。何等為三。攝善法戒。攝眾生戒。攝律儀戒。乃至菩提歸命三寶眾。不歸依九十六種外道邪法。佛復告阿難。若比丘比丘尼優婆塞優婆夷受持此咒。凈持房舍安建道場。懸繒幡蓋香泥塗地燒香散華。稱地藏菩薩至心敬禮。誦唸此咒。五逆十惡四重八禁。若不除滅無有是處。除不至心等方經偷僧祇物乃至一比丘物此經不攝。若有受持讀誦此經陀羅尼咒。有飛尸伏注鳥鳴百怪一切諸惡悉皆消滅。

爾時毗沙門天王頂禮佛足白佛言。世尊若有受持讀誦此經陀羅尼咒者。我當擁護蓋其勢力。若有眾生信邪倒見。或事北神九子母神阿魔神灶君社地社神詐稱先人。如是邪見。我使此人行住不安。惡夢縱橫。唯愿世尊聽我受持。佛告善哉善哉。汝大慈無量饒益眾生。我助汝喜。佛說經已。梵天帝釋四天王菩薩摩訶薩一切大集阿難等。聞佛所說歡喜奉行。

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：名為地藏菩薩誓願度諸眾生。如此受持此經，又名大方廣。如此受持此經，也名師子光三昧（一種禪定境界）。也名隨諸佛土入慚愧三昧（在諸佛凈土中進入懺悔的禪定）。如此受持此經，也名陀羅尼神咒（具有神奇力量的咒語）。如此受持此經，修行方法你現在再聽好。佛告訴阿難（佛陀的弟子）：若有眾生面臨刑罰殺戮、手銬腳鐐、枷鎖束縛、疾病困擾、痛苦折磨，或被鬼魅附身，應一心敬禮地藏菩薩，稱念地藏菩薩名號，至誠誦持此咒，懺悔根本重罪，發起菩提心（覺悟之心），從今開始直到未來，不殺生、不偷盜、不邪淫、不妄語、不飲酒，不吃肉、不吃五辛（五種辛辣蔬菜），受持三聚戒（三種戒律）。哪三種呢？攝善法戒（聚集善法的戒律）、攝眾生戒（利益眾生的戒律）、攝律儀戒（遵守戒律的戒律），乃至證得菩提之前，都歸命三寶（佛、法、僧），不歸依九十六種外道邪法。佛又告訴阿難：若有比丘（出家男眾）、比丘尼（出家女眾）、優婆塞（在家男眾）、優婆夷（在家女眾）受持此咒，清凈地保持房舍，安立道場，懸掛幡蓋，用香泥塗地，焚香散花，稱念地藏菩薩名號，至誠敬禮，誦唸此咒，即使犯下五逆罪（殺父、殺母、殺阿羅漢、破和合僧、出佛身血）、十惡業（殺生、偷盜、邪淫、妄語、兩舌、惡口、綺語、貪慾、嗔恚、邪見）、四重禁（比丘戒中的四條根本戒律）、八禁（八關齋戒），若不能消除罪業，絕無可能。但是，不至誠心、誹謗經典、偷盜僧眾財物，乃至偷盜一個比丘的財物，此經的功德無法涵蓋。若有人受持讀誦此經和陀羅尼咒，即使有飛尸鬼、伏屍鬼作祟，或出現鳥鳴怪異等各種邪惡現象，都將全部消滅。這時，毗沙門天王（佛教護法神）頂禮佛足，對佛說：世尊，若有人受持讀誦此經和陀羅尼咒，我應當擁護他，覆蓋他的勢力。若有眾生相信邪見，或祭祀北神、九子母神、阿魔神、灶君、社地社神，假稱是已故的先人，像這樣的邪見，我會使這個人行住不安，惡夢連連。唯愿世尊允許我受持此經。佛說：好啊，好啊！你大慈大悲，無量地饒益眾生，我贊助你的歡喜。佛說完此經，梵天（色界天主）、帝釋（欲界天主）、四大天王（護世四天王）、菩薩摩訶薩（大菩薩）以及所有大眾，包括阿難等，聽聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。

【English Translation】 English version: It is named 'Earth Store Bodhisattva's Vow to Deliver All Sentient Beings'. Thus, uphold it. It is also named 'Great Extensive and Vast'. Thus, uphold it. It is also named 'Lion Light Samadhi' (a state of meditative concentration). It is also named 'Entering the Samadhi of Shame and Remorse in All Buddha Lands'. Thus, uphold it. It is also named 'Dharani Divine Mantra' (a mantra with miraculous power). Thus, uphold it. Now listen again to the methods of practice. The Buddha told Ananda (the Buddha's disciple): If there are sentient beings facing execution, handcuffs, shackles, imprisonment, illness, suffering, or possession by ghosts and demons, they should single-mindedly revere and pay homage to Earth Store Bodhisattva, recite his name, sincerely uphold this mantra, repent of their fundamental grave offenses, and generate the Bodhi mind (the mind of enlightenment). From this moment forward, until the end of the future, they should not kill, not steal, not engage in sexual misconduct, not lie, not drink alcohol, not eat meat, and not eat the five pungent vegetables. They should receive the Three Accumulative Precepts (three kinds of precepts). What are the three? The Precept of Accumulating Good Dharmas, the Precept of Benefiting Sentient Beings, and the Precept of Maintaining Discipline. Until they attain Bodhi, they should take refuge in the Triple Jewel (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), and not take refuge in the ninety-six kinds of heretical and deviant paths. The Buddha further told Ananda: If there are Bhikshus (ordained monks), Bhikshunis (ordained nuns), Upasakas (lay male devotees), and Upasikas (lay female devotees) who uphold this mantra, keep their dwellings clean, establish a Dharma practice place, hang banners and canopies, spread fragrant mud on the ground, burn incense, scatter flowers, recite the name of Earth Store Bodhisattva, sincerely revere and pay homage, and recite this mantra, even if they have committed the Five Heinous Offenses (killing one's father, killing one's mother, killing an Arhat, disrupting the Sangha, shedding the blood of a Buddha), the Ten Evil Deeds (killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, divisive speech, harsh speech, idle chatter, greed, hatred, wrong views), the Four Grave Prohibitions (the four fundamental precepts for monks), and the Eight Prohibitions (the Eight Precepts), if these offenses cannot be eradicated, there is no possibility. However, if one lacks sincerity, slanders the scriptures, steals the property of the Sangha, or even steals the property of a single Bhikshu, the merit of this scripture cannot cover it. If someone upholds, recites, and reads this scripture and Dharani mantra, even if there are flying corpse ghosts, lurking corpse ghosts, or strange bird calls and all kinds of evil phenomena, they will all be eliminated. At that time, Vaishravana (a guardian deity in Buddhism), prostrated at the Buddha's feet and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, if there are those who uphold, recite, and read this scripture and Dharani mantra, I shall protect them and cover them with my power. If there are sentient beings who believe in heretical views, or worship the Northern God, the Nine Children Mother Goddess, the Asura God, the Kitchen God, the Local Earth God, falsely claiming to be deceased ancestors, with such heretical views, I will cause these people to be restless in their movements and dwellings, and have nightmares. I beseech the World Honored One to allow me to uphold this scripture.' The Buddha said: 'Excellent, excellent! You are greatly compassionate and immeasurably benefit sentient beings. I rejoice in your joy.' After the Buddha finished speaking this scripture, Brahma (the lord of the Form Realm), Indra (the lord of the Desire Realm), the Four Heavenly Kings (the Four Guardian Kings), Bodhisattva Mahasattvas (great Bodhisattvas), and all the great assembly, including Ananda, heard what the Buddha had said and joyfully practiced it.
