English version: The Paramita (perfection of wisdom), will soon achieve all-knowing wisdom (Buddha's wisdom). Good man! This Bodhisattva Mahasattva (great Bodhisattva) Akasagarbha, because of his courageous benefit to all sentient beings, has such a wish-fulfilling jewel on his head, and is surrounded by countless hundreds of thousands of Shakya-Vaidurya jewels (a precious gem), which is not the case with all other Bodhisattvas. Good man! This Bodhisattva Mahasattva Akasagarbha has achieved such inconceivable expedient wisdom. Furthermore, good man! If there are sentient beings who hear the name of Bodhisattva Mahasattva Akasagarbha, or make his image, or make offerings to him, this person will have no disasters in this life, water cannot drown him, fire cannot burn him, knives cannot harm him, poison cannot affect him, neither humans nor non-humans (referring to ghosts and gods) can harm him, and there will be no suffering from prison, thieves, enemies, various diseases, or hunger and thirst. Regardless of the length of life, there will be no accidental death. When approaching the end of life, the eyes cannot see colors, the ears cannot hear sounds, the nose cannot smell odors, the tongue cannot taste flavors, the body cannot feel touch, and the hands and feet and other organs cannot function, leaving only a faint consciousness and the warmth of the body. At this time, Bodhisattva Mahasattva Akasagarbha will appear in a form corresponding to the deity that the sentient being believes in, either as the form of a Chakravartin King (an ideal monarch who rules the world), or the form of Dhritarashtra (Eastern Guardian King), or the form of Vaishravana (Northern Guardian King), or the form of Virudhaka (Southern Guardian King), or the form of Virupaksha (Western Guardian King), or the form of other deities, or the form of dragons, yakshas (a type of ghost), gandharvas (heavenly musicians), asuras (a type of warlike ghost), garudas (a type of golden-winged bird god), kinnaras (heavenly singers), mahoragas (a type of great serpent god), humans or non-humans, appearing in front of that person and reciting a verse: 'The meaning of the Four Noble Truths (basic Buddhist teachings), the wise should contemplate, if understood, one can be liberated from birth and death.' Good man! At this time, when that sentient being is approaching the end of life, having seen the deity he used to believe in, and having heard such an important verse spoken for him, he will not fall into evil realms after death, and because of this power, he will quickly be liberated from birth and death. Furthermore, good man! If there are sentient beings who are fond of the Buddha's teachings, Bodhisattva Mahasattva Akasagarbha will appear in the form of the Buddha at the time of their death, and recite a verse for them: 'The Buddha's wisdom is real, it can cross the sea of birth and death, quickly seek the Buddha's wisdom, to completely eliminate all suffering.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。’

“Good man! At that time, those beings, upon seeing the Buddha's body and hearing this verse, would observe with utmost sincerity, filled with joy and excitement beyond measure. After their lives end, they would be reborn in a pure Buddha-land, never again to dwell in the five turbid worlds. They would constantly be in the presence of that Tathagata Buddha, hear the wondrous Dharma, and soon attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unexcelled complete enlightenment). Good man! This Bodhisattva Mahasattva (great Bodhisattva), Akasagarbha, would, as those beings approach their death, cause them to hear the wondrous Dharma and see the Sangha, universally revealing these to them. Good man! This Bodhisattva Mahasattva, Akasagarbha, has accomplished such inconceivable expedient wisdom. “Furthermore, good man! If various beings desire to obtain the power of Samadhi (meditative absorption) at will, they should, in the latter part of the night, purify themselves by bathing, put on clean new clothes, burn solid black aloeswood and Tagara incense, generate a heart of compassion for all beings, face the east, sincerely join their palms, recite the name of Bodhisattva Akasagarbha, and say: ‘Akasagarbha, who holds great wisdom and possesses great compassion, I beseech you to grant me the Samadhi of non-forgetfulness.’ Then, they should recite this Dharani (mantra) saying: ‘O lou mu lou nuo qi bo cha di li suo wu tuo luo po tan li nai ye nai ye’ ‘Maha Karunika (great compassionate one) a nu bo yan po si mei li ti xi qie luo yan po si mei li ti ba she luo she po si mei li ti lu she si mei li ti a po cha nai si mei li ti fu chi ju zhi si mei li ti so ha’ “Good man!
