Being skilled in methods, abiding in all the Buddha's teachings, without doubt, being skilled in wisdom that does not depend on others, like the supreme banner of all Bodhisattvas, suitable for a king. This great Bodhisattva Akashagarbha shows all sentient beings the way to be born in the heavens and to liberation, frees beings from the diseases of mental afflictions, and heals major diseases of bodily toxins. Those who are defiled by wrong views and do not know the path to heaven and liberation, if they prostrate to this Bodhisattva, fumigate with incense and agarwood, and recite words of prayer, then, in accordance with their thoughts and latent tendencies, whatever good roots they have from the past, he will skillfully awaken or show in dreams the roots of virtue to which their minds are directed. Through this method, they will quickly be liberated from wrong views, evil aspirations, and bad refuges, thereby obtaining the conduct of their body, speech, and mind, virtuous friends, and upright aspirations. They will quickly be liberated from unpleasant smells, afflictions, and all actions that lead to bad destinies, thereby obtaining control over their own minds and being shown the method of abiding in profound patience. Similarly, for sentient beings whose bodies are afflicted by various diseases, and those who are mentally distracted, whose senses such as the eyes are impaired, and whose limbs are deficient, if they pray for the pacification of these diseases, then in their dreams, forms such as Brahmins, Indra, Saraswati, kings, ministers, doctors, parents, children, and maidens will show the medicine and implements for pacifying diseases, and through these methods, all diseases will be pacified. Similarly, for those who desire to have an audience, to increase wealth, to not be separated from enjoyment, to have long life, power, beauty, children and servants, wisdom, fame, holiness, lineage, qualities, gentle speech, harmony with sentient beings, liberation from sins, recitation, listening, crafts, solitude, desire for meditation, and the six perfections such as generosity, if they pray, he will show the method and accomplish all desires as they wish. Furthermore, for those who are stingy, he guides them to practice generosity, greatly promoting the practice of the perfections, and guides other sentient beings to attain perfect enlightenment and methods.

Those who wish to establish from the four abodes of the wise and Brahma to great compassion, if they pray to the Bodhisattva Akashagarbha, he will show them the method in a form that suits their respective capacities. Through this method, with minimal effort, countless sentient beings, those who do not abide in the vehicle and those who abide in the vehicle of hearers and self-realizers, can also be turned away from the unsurpassed Great Vehicle without turning back, and can be established in various samadhis, dharanis, and patience, and up to the ten bhumis. Thus, Akashagarbha is endowed with inconceivable methods, wisdom, and great compassion. Son of good family, the measure of space can be grasped by some, but the measure of Akashagarbha's methods, wisdom, great compassion, and the power of generating samadhi, and the measure of completely maturing sentient beings cannot be grasped, thus he is endowed with inconceivable qualities. Any sentient being who is without deceit, whose view is upright and possesses correct diligence, does not praise himself, does not slander others, has abandoned jealousy and stinginess, is without pretense and possesses sincere intention, son of good family, he cherishes such a sentient being, showing the method, wisdom, diligence, and the means of taming, thereby completely liberating them from suffering, and generating the mind in unsurpassed enlightenment, dedicating all roots of virtue to enlightenment, and becoming irreversible from unsurpassed enlightenment. In order to perfect the six perfections, he becomes joyful and greatly tamed, thereby quickly attaining Buddhahood. Thus, Akashagarbha is endowed with inconceivable qualities of the Dharma of taming, thereby completely maturing all sentient beings. Thus it was said. Then, Bodhisattva Maitreya asked the Blessed One: Blessed One, why does this son of good family wear a wish-fulfilling jewel on his head and is so radiant, while other Bodhisattvas are not like that? The Blessed One replied: Son of good family, Bodhisattva Akashagarbha is endowed with great compassion, having entered for the benefit of sentient beings, liberating them from great suffering. For those sentient beings who have committed fundamental downfalls, those who are going to the lower realms, those who destroy all roots of virtue, all the wise

对于那些被一切抛弃、无依无靠的众生，虚空藏就成了良药。消除邪见的浓雾，使人脱离疑惑，是引路人。洗净一切罪恶和不净之物，使人远离恶道，安置于天界和解脱。对于那些内心充满贪欲、极度愤怒、怀有恶意、隐瞒和吝啬、被愚痴的黑暗所笼罩、无端说话、不畏惧来世、因积攒财富而不知满足、总是行于不善十业道的人们，他能关闭恶趣之门，引导他们走向天界和解脱。因此，除了如来之外，所有包括天神在内的世人都应供养这位圣人。因此，如果出现盗取三宝财物等王族容易犯的五种堕落，以及大臣容易犯的五种堕落，还有平民初学者容易犯的八种堕落。这样，当菩萨的根本堕落和声闻的根本堕落发生时，菩萨虚空藏会以各种形象显现，宣说甚深经藏。那些心器破裂的王族等，会因对过去的业感到后悔和羞愧而忏悔和放弃，并以极大的喜悦投入善道，从而被引导至天界和解脱。因此，想要忏悔堕落之根本的人，应在黎明时分焚烧沉香和中国香等熏香，念诵虚空藏的名号并祈祷。根据他们的因缘，在梦中，他会以任何一种形象出现在他们面前，指示从堕落中解脱的方法和大乘的善巧方便，使他们安住于禅定、忍辱、总持和地之间，使他们稳固地安住于大乘，并获得不退转于无上菩提、圆满六度、坚定不移的精进，以及精通智慧和方便，从而使那些初学菩萨立即证得菩提。

For those beings abandoned by all, without refuge or protection, this Akashagarbha becomes a medicine. It dispels the thick fog of wrong views, separates one from doubt, and is a guide. It washes away all sins and impure things, turns one away from evil paths, and places one in the heavens and liberation. For those beings whose minds are exceedingly attached to desires, who are extremely angry, harbor malice, conceal and are miserly, who are enveloped by the darkness of ignorance, speak without reason, do not fear the next world, are not satisfied with accumulating wealth, and always engage in the ten non-virtuous paths, he closes the doors to the lower realms and leads them to the heavens and liberation. Therefore, apart from the Tathagatas, all the worlds including the gods should worship this noble being. Therefore, if there occur the five kinds of downfalls that are likely to happen to royal families, such as stealing the property of the Three Jewels, as well as the five that are likely to happen to ministers, and the eight that are likely to happen to ordinary beginners, thus, when the root downfalls of Bodhisattvas and the root downfalls of Shravakas occur, Bodhisattva Akashagarbha appears in various forms and expounds the profound Sutras. Those royal families and others whose vessels of hearts have been broken, repent and abandon their former deeds with regret and shame, and with great joy engage in virtuous paths, thereby being led to the heavens and liberation. Therefore, those who wish to purify the root of downfalls should burn incense such as agarwood and Chinese incense at dawn, recite the name of Akashagarbha, and pray. According to their karma, in dreams, he will appear before them in any form, showing the methods of rising from downfalls and the skillful means of the Great Vehicle, placing them in the midst of Samadhi, patience, Dharani, and the Bhumis, establishing them firmly in the Great Vehicle, and obtaining unwavering diligence in completing the six Paramitas without turning back from unsurpassed Bodhi, and mastering wisdom and skillful means, thereby enabling those first Bodhisattvas to attain Bodhi immediately.

获得名为“不忘失菩提心”的等持，不久将成佛。因此，即使是那些具有堕落的人，也能从中站起来，安立于无上菩提，因此，虚空藏菩萨就像是从非常勇敢中产生的如意宝珠，珍贵的肢体之精华安住在头顶上。种姓之子，此外，听到虚空藏菩萨的名字吗？描绘他的形象吗？对他进行供养吗？为他进行服侍吗？尊敬他吗？崇敬他吗？用各种供品来崇敬他吗？向他顶礼吗？甚至献出自己的生命吗？那么，这些众生不会因火而死亡。同样，他们不会因水、武器或毒药而死亡。除了寿命耗尽之外，无论是人还是非人，都无法夺走他们的生命。他们不会非时而死。他们不会变成麻风病人。他们不会因饥渴而死亡。他们不会被国王的惩罚所斩断。在死亡时刻来临之际，不会出现堕入恶道的根源。在他们的感官停止，意识尚未离开身体之前，虚空藏菩萨会以与他们自己所敬仰的方式相符的婆罗门或帝释天等形象显现，并教导四圣谛之法，使他们明白并趋向天界。对于信仰佛陀的人，他会化现为佛陀的形象来教导佛法，使他们因忆念佛陀的声音而感到欢喜和满足，在死亡时刻到来之际，往生到清净的佛土。对于信仰佛法和僧伽的人，他也会宣说与之相应的佛法。任何想要极度掌控各种等持之心的人，想要读诵各种佛陀的教言和论典，想要忆念等等，想要进入大海和洞穴，想要享用殊胜精华的人，通过向虚空藏菩萨祈祷，这些愿望都会如愿以偿。那些身患疾病、被囚禁在监狱、被束缚、面临被处决或杀害的人，以及面临火、水、毒药、武器、诅咒和巫术，老虎、狮子、盗贼和奸诈之徒的恐惧，以及渴望远离与亲友分离和与不友善者相遇等痛苦的人。

Having obtained the samadhi called "Not Forgetting the Bodhicitta," one will soon become enlightened. Therefore, even those who are endowed with downfalls can rise from them and be established in unsurpassed enlightenment. Thus, it appears that this Akashagarbha is like a wish-fulfilling jewel that arises from great bravery, with the essence of precious limbs dwelling on the head. Son of the lineage, have you also heard the name of Akashagarbha? Do you engage in drawing his form? Do you make offerings to him? Do you serve him? Do you respect him? Do you venerate him? Do you honor him with various offerings? Do you prostrate to him? Do you even offer your own life? Then, those sentient beings will not experience death by fire. Likewise, they will not die by water, weapons, or poison. Except for the exhaustion of their lifespan, no one, whether human or non-human, can take their life. They will not die untimely deaths. They will not become lepers. They will not experience death by hunger or thirst. They will not be cut off by the king's punishment. At the time of death, the root of falling into the abyss will not arise. Until their senses cease and their consciousness has not departed from their body, Akashagarbha will appear in the form of a Brahmin or Indra, etc., in accordance with the way they themselves respect, and having made them understand the teaching of the Four Noble Truths, they will incline towards higher realms. For those who have faith in the Buddha, he will emanate as the form of the Buddha and teach the Dharma, so that they rejoice and are satisfied by the sound of remembering the Buddha, and at the time of death, they will be born in a completely pure Buddha-field. For those who have faith in the Dharma and the Sangha, he will also teach the Dharma that is in accordance with that. Anyone who desires to have great control over the mind in various samadhis, who desires to read various teachings and treatises of the Buddha, who desires mindfulness, etc., who desires to enter the great ocean and caves, and who desires to partake of excellent essences, by praying to Akashagarbha, those hopes will be fulfilled as desired. Those who are afflicted with illness, imprisoned in prisons, bound, facing execution or being killed, and facing the fear of fire, water, poison, weapons, curses, and witchcraft, tigers, lions, thieves, and deceitful people, and those who desire to be free from suffering such as separation from friends and encountering unfriendly people.
