或者,念诵一个菩萨的名字,那个人今生就能获得安乐,不会见到罪恶,寿命终尽去世后,菩萨我们也会在前面引导,让我们往生到清净的国土。那是什么缘故呢?是为了受持这部经,忆持这部经的缘故。受持这部经,忆持就是执持佛身。执持佛身,显然就是菩萨,因此那些和我们学的是一样的。因为这些因缘,愿受持这部经的这些人,往生到同一个地方,永不分离。然后大梵天和三十三天诸神,以及护世四大天王,秘密主金刚手,夜叉的统帅大将扬达谢等,龙王嘎瓦和内嘎瓦,非天,迦楼罗,妙音天女,夺命母,山神,树神,河神,海神,地神,水神,火神,风神等等,无数不可思议的众神都从各自的座位上站起来,向世尊所在的方向合掌,恭敬地顶礼,然后对世尊这样说道:世尊,我们对于世尊所说的这部广大的解脱经,会恒常守护和忆持。这部经在哪里,我们就会恒常在那里打扫,使之完全清净。这部经无论是在佛塔中,还是在房屋中,或是在居士的家中,或是在寺院中,如果有人用不干净的手触碰这部经,或者不恭敬地读诵,或者念诵,我们就会使那个人在行住坐卧四种威仪中,身心不安。这部经在哪里,那里就会有恐惧和害怕,突然发生灾难。今生会有各种不适,来世也会堕入地狱。如果有人

Or, if one recites the name of a Bodhisattva, that person will obtain happiness in this very life, will not see sins, and even if they die after their lifespan is exhausted, the Bodhisattvas, we, will lead the way. We will be reborn in a pure land. Why is that? It is for the sake of taking up this sutra and holding it in mind. Taking up this sutra and holding it in mind is holding the body of the Buddha. Holding the body of the Buddha is clearly being a Bodhisattva, therefore those are the same as our teachings. Because of these causes and conditions, may those who hold this sutra in mind be reborn in the same place and never be separated. Then, the Great Brahma and the gods of the Thirty-Three, and the Four Great Kings who protect the world, and the Secret Lord Vajrapani, and the great Yaksha commander Yangdak She, and the Naga kings Gawa and Nye Gawa, and the Asuras, and the Garudas, and Saraswati, and the Matrikas, and the mountain gods, and the tree gods, and the river gods, and the sea gods, and the earth gods, and the water gods, and the fire gods, and the wind gods, and so on, countless and immeasurable, rose from their respective seats, and with palms joined together, respectfully prostrated to the Blessed One, and said to the Blessed One: Blessed One, we will always protect and uphold this great sutra of liberation, which the Blessed One has taught and which is widely spread. Wherever this sutra is, we will always sweep in front of it and make it completely pure. Whether this sutra is in a stupa, or in a house, or in the house of a householder, or in a monastery, if someone touches this sutra with unclean hands, or reads it without respect, or recites it, we will make that person uncomfortable in body and mind in the four postures of walking, standing, sitting, and lying down. Wherever it is, there will be fear and dread, and sudden harm will occur. There will be various discomforts in this life, and in the next life they will fall into hell. If someone

对这部经要恭敬,用干净的手拿取并受持吗?沐浴后用香熏,并读诵吗?念诵吗?受持或执持吗?书写吗?让人书写吗?忆念,或者不作罪恶之事,我们为了守护这部经,要对那个人作供养。要守护。那个人睡觉时,也要在他面前,不让出现恶兆。又, 总而言之,不让凶恶的敌人和凶恶的鬼神造成损害。也要守护他所居住的房屋。如果他去远方,我们都要经常跟随,并给予所需之物。无论去往四方何处,都没有障碍,经常见到善法,即使去世也能转生为天人。以那个因和那个缘,就能见到佛,而且不会空耗大乘,这样祈祷之后,世尊对诸菩萨摩诃萨、天和非天之主等说道:是的,是的。就是这样,就是这样。如你们所说,如果连听闻这部经都不能,又怎么能见到呢?如果想要受持、执持、读诵或念诵这部经,就要沐浴干净,穿上干净的衣服,在清净的寂静处,用幢幡、胜幢和伞盖装饰,用各种香、旃檀、香粉和涂香供养,并顶礼,像这样日夜六时,首先开始,到七天之间,每天都读诵这部经,不散乱心,不散乱念,不散乱分别,不散乱思惟,不散乱忆持,不散乱行为,不散乱教导和学习,日夜六时对这部经中出现的佛和菩萨以及十二部经顶礼并读诵,或者念诵,能够信奉和恭敬,就能如这部经中所说的那样,消除一切重罪。对此不要犹豫。

Show respect to this sutra. Should it be taken and held with clean hands? Should it be bathed, fumigated with incense, and recited? Should it be chanted? Should it be held or grasped? Should it be written? Should it be caused to be written? Should it be remembered, or if sinful actions are not committed, we will make offerings to that person in order to protect this sutra. We will protect. Even when that person is sleeping, we will be in front of him, preventing bad omens from occurring. Furthermore, in short, we will prevent harm from fierce enemies and fierce spirits. We will also protect the house where he dwells. If he goes on a journey, we will always follow him and provide whatever he needs. Wherever he goes in the four directions, may there be no obstacles, may he always see virtuous Dharma, and even if he dies, may he be reborn as a god. Through that cause and that condition, one will see the Buddha, and the Great Vehicle will not be in vain. After this prayer, the Bhagavan spoke to the Bodhisattvas, the great beings, the gods, and the lords of the Asuras, saying: "It is so, it is so. It is just as you have said. If one cannot even hear this sutra, how can one see it? If one wishes to take, hold, recite, or chant this sutra, one should bathe cleanly, wear clean clothes, and in a clean, secluded place, decorate with banners, victory banners, and umbrellas, and offer various incenses, sandalwood, powders, and ointments, and prostrate. In this way, six times day and night, starting from the beginning and continuing for seven days, each day one should read this sutra, without a distracted mind, without distracted mindfulness, without distracted thoughts, without distracted contemplation, without distracted retention, without distracted conduct, and without distracted teaching and learning. Six times day and night, one should prostrate to and read, or chant, with faith and reverence, to the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and the twelve categories of scriptures that appear in this sutra. If one is able to do so, then as it is said in this sutra, all heavy sins will be purified. Do not doubt this.
