那些缺乏衣物和乞食等物品和享受的众生,以慈悲之心称念虚空藏菩萨的名号,尽力供养并祈祷,虚空藏菩萨会以任何形式出现在他们面前,解除他们的贫困,使他们从一切痛苦中解脱,使他们所有的愿望都圆满,使他们所有的物品都丰盛。如果王子希望获得大国王的灌顶,同样,婆罗门和居士希望获得伟大的地位,以及那些喜欢工艺、听闻和禅修的人,如果他们希望达到伟大的地位,称念虚空藏菩萨的名号并祈祷,那么他的天耳会听到,并为他们指示方法,使他们的愿望如意圆满。种姓之子,虚空藏菩萨就是这样,具有方便功德之法和智慧大海,即使有人能够测量大海的水滴和十方无垠的虚空,却无法测量大菩萨虚空藏菩萨为了使众生完全成熟而化现的各种形象,有时化现为佛的形象,乃至在畜生和地狱众生中化现为畜生和地狱众生的形象。就这样,对于婆罗门等,他会化现各种各样的形象来调伏他们,对某些人显现化身,对某些人在梦中化现,对某些人在临终的最后时刻化现。他会净化他们的罪业,将他们从恶道中救度出来,从天界安置到大菩提。因此,虚空藏菩萨具有方便、智慧和佛陀的伟大功德,所以他的头上显现出如意宝珠。说完之后,所有眷属都对虚空藏菩萨感到惊奇,并进行了供养。虚空藏菩萨也将这一切献给佛陀薄伽梵,顶礼膜拜,请教佛法,并说了陀罗尼。

Those beings who lack clothing, alms, and other necessities and enjoyments, if they cherish a compassionate heart, invoke the name of Akashagarbha and make offerings to the best of their ability and pray, Akashagarbha will appear before them in any form, relieve their poverty, liberate them from all suffering, fulfill all their wishes, and make all their possessions abundant. If a prince desires to obtain the empowerment of a great king, similarly, if Brahmins and householders desire a great position, and those who are fond of crafts, hearing, and meditation, if they desire to attain a great position, and invoke the name of Akashagarbha and pray, then his divine ear will hear and show them the way, and their wishes will be fulfilled as desired. Son of good family, thus Akashagarbha is endowed with the Dharma of skillful qualities and a great ocean of wisdom. Even if someone could measure the drops of water in the great ocean and the boundless sky of the ten directions, they could not measure the various forms manifested by the great Bodhisattva Akashagarbha in order to fully ripen sentient beings. Sometimes he manifests as the form of a Buddha, and even among animals and hell beings, he manifests as the form of animals and hell beings. Thus, for Brahmins and others, he manifests in various forms to tame them. To some, he manifests directly; to some, he manifests in dreams; and to some, he manifests at the time of their final consciousness at the time of death. He purifies their sinful deeds, rescues them from the lower realms, and establishes them from the heavens to great enlightenment. Therefore, Akashagarbha is endowed with great qualities of skillful means, wisdom, and Buddhahood, so a wish-fulfilling jewel appears on his head. After he spoke, all the retinue were amazed at Akashagarbha and made offerings. Akashagarbha also offered all of this to the Buddha Bhagavan, prostrated, requested the Dharma, and spoke the dharani.

Sapas. Immeasurable and countless beings of gods and humans, through samadhi, dharani, and various kinds of forbearance, wisdom arose in the ten bhumis, and countless beings obtained forbearance of the dharma of non-birth. The Bhagavan spoke to Akashagarbha, saying: "You, through the power of compassion, in countless and immeasurable world realms, teach various Mahayana sutras with various forms, attire, and conduct in villages, cities, towns, regions, countries, and royal palaces, causing sentient beings to fully mature, and are able to cause beings from the royal caste to the outcaste, and from the ascetic to the outcaste, to abandon sinful dharmas and abide in virtuous dharmas." Thus he spoke. In the Great Liberation Sutra, it says: "The Bodhisattva Mahasattva Akashagarbha, in the future, in a thousand kalpas called Pure, in a world realm called Possessing Enjoyments, will attain enlightenment as the Tathagata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha, called Ornamented Pure. In that world realm, the great Bodhisattvas practice only the Mahayana. Any sentient beings who hear the name of Akashagarbha, and prostrate and make offerings, will be born in that world realm of Possessing Enjoyments. Whoever practices the Mahayana dharma there will obtain forbearance of the dharma of non-birth." Thus it was said. In the benefits of the one hundred and eight names of Akashagarbha, it says: "Therefore, if one always desires all those wishes, if one wants to be the bravest of all beings, one should always rely on Akashagarbha, the protector of the three realms, and also practice his mantra." Thus it was said. The fifth chapter, which tells of the realization of the Protector Akashagarbha. I prostrate, offer, and take refuge in the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Ksitigarbha. In the Ksitigarbha Ten Wheels Sutra, it says: The Bhagavan was dwelling on a mountain called Rikhala-deya, a place frequented by many sages, together with an immeasurable community of monks and a great community of Bodhisattvas, just as the Moon Treasury was being expounded, at that time from the south

从妙香的大云中,降下妙香的细雨,以及鲜花、珍宝饰品和衣物的云朵,覆盖了山。从这些雨中发出各种佛法的声音。所有眷属的身体,都以他们各自喜欢的妙香和饰品等来庄严,各自的两个手掌中拿着如意宝珠,每一颗宝珠都像下雨般降下各种珍宝。从这些宝珠中发出各种光芒,在十方佛土,如恒河沙数般,见到如来被无量众眷属以敬意围绕。这些光芒触及那些佛土中因疾病而痛苦的众生,面临被杀害的众生,被囚禁的众生,行不善之事的众生,遭受饥渴之苦的众生,以及被各种惩罚折磨的众生,所有这些众生在光芒触及的瞬间,都脱离了痛苦,获得了如意的衣物、饰品和财富等,舍弃了十不善业,如愿以偿地获得所需之物。所有痛苦的煎熬都平息下来,充满极大的安乐。在所有这些佛土中,光明的照耀驱散了云、尘土、风、雨和不祥的声音等所有不悦意的景象,以及众多的恐惧和伤害。此外,他们完全脱离了恶业、邪语、邪思和邪见。大地平坦如手掌,充满了一切安乐的用具。冷热的煎熬不再有,完全平息,变得安乐。当时,许多眷属看到各自身体的地界变得特别沉重,几乎无法承受的景象。他们心中生起疑问:是什么原因导致了这样的景象?当时,眷属中的帝释天因陀罗,名为无垢生,向世尊请教:是什么样的因缘导致了这样的情况?世尊开示说:有一位伟大的菩萨名为地藏菩萨。过去,在无量无数的大劫中……

From the great clouds of exquisite fragrance, a fine rain of exquisite fragrance descended, as well as clouds of flowers, precious ornaments, and garments, covering the mountain. From this rain, various sounds of the Dharma arose. The bodies of all the retinue were adorned with exquisite fragrances and ornaments, etc., according to their individual preferences. Each held a wish-fulfilling jewel in their two palms, and from each of these jewels, various treasures rained down like a shower. From these jewels, various rays of light emanated, and in the Buddha-fields of the ten directions, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, the Tathagata was seen surrounded by countless retinues with reverence. These rays of light touched the beings in those fields who were suffering from illness, those facing slaughter, those imprisoned, those engaged in unwholesome deeds, those suffering from hunger and thirst, and those tormented by various punishments. All these beings, the moment they were touched by the light, were freed from suffering, obtained clothing, ornaments, and wealth, etc., as they wished, abandoned the ten unwholesome deeds, and obtained whatever they desired. All the torments of suffering were pacified, and they were filled with great bliss. In all those fields, the light dispelled all unpleasant sights such as clouds, dust, wind, rain, and inauspicious sounds, as well as many fears and harms. Furthermore, they were completely separated from evil deeds, wrong speech, wrong thoughts, and wrong views. The earth was as flat as the palm of a hand, filled with all the implements of comfort. The torments of heat and cold were no more, completely pacified, and they became blissful. At that time, many of the retinue saw that the earth element of their respective bodies had become particularly heavy, almost unbearable. They wondered, 'What cause or condition has led to such a sight?' At that time, Indra, the lord of the gods, named Immaculate Birth, asked the Bhagavan, 'What are the causes and conditions for such a situation?' The Bhagavan replied, 'There is a great Bodhisattva named Ksitigarbha. In the past, for immeasurable and countless great kalpas...'

Through his power, these miracles are displayed. That great Bodhisattva named Ksitigarbha is adorned with immeasurable, countless, inconceivable qualities, which all the worlds, including hearers and solitary realizers, cannot fathom.
