耶舍三藏诵此咒。天平寺锈法师从耶舍三藏口受此咒。其人云:“经本外国不来。受持咒法,日夜六时各诵三七遍;晨夜澡漱,嚼杨枝,然香火,于形象前跪,合掌诵三七遍。日日恒尔,即灭四重、五逆、十恶,谤方等罪悉得除灭。现在不为一切诸邪鬼神之所恼乱,命终之后任运往生阿弥陀国,何况昼夜受持诵读功德不可思议。”   佛说阿弥陀经卷第一 现代汉语译本:龙树菩萨(Nāgārjuna Bodhisattva)发愿往生安养(极乐世界),在梦中感应到了这个咒语。 耶舍三藏(Yasha Tripitaka)诵持此咒。天平寺的锈法师从耶舍三藏口中得到了这个咒语。那人说:‘经书原本在外国没有传来。受持这个咒语的方法是,每天早晚六个时段各诵念二十一遍;早晚洗漱,嚼杨枝,点燃香火,在佛像前跪下,合掌诵念二十一遍。每天都这样坚持,就能消灭四重罪(杀父、杀母、杀阿罗汉、破和合僧)、五逆罪(杀父、杀母、杀阿罗汉、出佛身血、破和合僧)、十恶业(杀生、偷盗、邪淫、妄语、两舌、恶口、绮语、贪欲、嗔恚、邪见),诽谤方等经典的罪业也都能消除。现在不会被一切邪恶鬼神所恼乱,命终之后自然往生阿弥陀佛(Amitābha)的极乐世界,更何况昼夜受持诵读,其功德更是不可思议。’ 《佛说阿弥陀经》卷第一

English version: Nāgārjuna Bodhisattva, wishing to be reborn in Sukhāvatī (the Pure Land), received this mantra in a dream. Yasha Tripitaka recited this mantra. The monk Xiu of Tianping Temple received this mantra orally from Yasha Tripitaka. That person said: 'The original scriptures have not come from foreign lands. The method for receiving and upholding this mantra is to recite it twenty-one times each during the six periods of the day and night; wash and rinse in the morning and evening, chew on a willow twig, light incense, kneel before the image, and recite it twenty-one times with palms together. If you persist in this daily, you will eradicate the four grave offenses (killing one's father, killing one's mother, killing an Arhat, and causing disunity in the Sangha), the five heinous crimes (killing one's father, killing one's mother, killing an Arhat, shedding the blood of a Buddha, and causing disunity in the Sangha), the ten evil deeds (killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, divisive speech, harsh speech, idle chatter, greed, anger, and wrong views), and the sins of slandering the Vaipulya sutras. In the present, you will not be disturbed by any evil ghosts or spirits, and after death, you will naturally be reborn in the Amitābha Buddha's Pure Land, let alone the inconceivable merit of receiving, upholding, and reciting it day and night.'
