尔时世尊告虚空藏菩萨摩诃萨言：“善哉善哉！汝今说此无尽降伏师子奋迅陀罗尼。一切众生临命终时最后神识，有重烦恼障及重恶业，此陀罗尼悉能烧然，令得往生清净佛国。善男子！汝今善能以此成熟无量众生，又能成熟无量佛刹村园城邑一切众生，又随所应现种种形，又随其根说种种法，或为演说大乘经典开深法门。若沙门旃陀罗、婆罗门旃陀罗、刹利旃陀罗、毗舍旃陀罗、首陀罗旃陀罗，此诸人等所犯重罪，以因汝故悉得烧然，今于善法建立增长。”尔时世尊而说偈言： “众生诸贪诤， 皆因诸根起， 若能摄诸根， 疾得于解脱。” 尔时如来说此经已，有十千人天得无生法忍，无量人天得诸三昧，又无量人天得陀罗尼，又无量人天逮得忍辱，又无量人天于十地中各得增进。 尔时世尊告阿难及弥勒菩萨摩诃萨言：“汝等应当恭敬奉持此经。”尔时阿难及弥勒菩萨即从座起，偏袒右肩，长跪合掌白佛言：“世尊！此妙经典我已受持。当何名此经？”佛言：“善男子！此经名‘忏悔尽一切罪陀罗尼经’，亦名‘不可思议方便智救济一切众生经’，亦名‘能满一切众生所愿如如意宝珠经’，亦名‘虚空藏菩萨经’。如是奉持。阿难当知，若有善男子善女人 现代汉语译本： ‘泥(ní)娑(suō)婆(pó)呵(hē)’ 那时，世尊告诉虚空藏菩萨摩诃萨说：‘太好了，太好了！你现在说的这个无尽降伏师子奋迅陀罗尼（一种咒语），一切众生在临终时，最后的意识，如果有很重的烦恼障碍和很重的恶业，这个陀罗尼都能烧尽，使他们能够往生清净的佛国。善男子！你现在能够很好地用这个陀罗尼来成熟无量的众生，又能成熟无量佛刹（佛的国土）的村庄、园林、城镇中的一切众生，又能随众生的需要示现各种不同的形象，又能根据他们的根器说各种不同的法，或者为他们演说大乘经典，开启深奥的法门。如果是沙门旃陀罗（贱民出身的僧侣）、婆罗门旃陀罗（贱民出身的婆罗门）、刹利旃陀罗（贱民出身的刹帝利）、毗舍旃陀罗（贱民出身的吠舍）、首陀罗旃陀罗（贱民出身的首陀罗），这些犯了重罪的人，因为你的缘故，都能被烧尽罪业，现在在善法上建立增长。’那时，世尊说了偈语： ‘众生各种贪欲和争斗，都是因为各种感官引起的，如果能够摄持住各种感官，就能很快得到解脱。’ 那时，如来说完这部经后，有一万人天得到了无生法忍（对不生不灭的真理的领悟），无量人天得到了各种三昧（禅定），又有无量人天得到了陀罗尼（总持法门），又有无量人天得到了忍辱，又有无量人天在十地（菩萨修行的十个阶段）中各自得到了增进。 那时，世尊告诉阿难和弥勒菩萨摩诃萨说：‘你们应当恭敬地奉持这部经。’那时，阿难和弥勒菩萨立即从座位上站起来，袒露右肩，长跪合掌对佛说：‘世尊！这部殊胜的经典我们已经接受奉持。这部经应当叫什么名字呢？’佛说：‘善男子！这部经名为《忏悔尽一切罪陀罗尼经》，也名为《不可思议方便智救济一切众生经》，也名为《能满一切众生所愿如如意宝珠经》，也名为《虚空藏菩萨经》。应当这样奉持。阿难，你要知道，如果有善男子善女人

English version: 'Ní suō pó hē' At that time, the World Honored One said to Bodhisattva Mahasattva Akasagarbha: 'Excellent, excellent! You have now spoken this inexhaustible Subduing Lion's Swift Power Dharani (a type of mantra). When all sentient beings are at the point of death, their final consciousness, if they have heavy afflictive obstacles and heavy evil karma, this dharani can burn them all away, enabling them to be reborn in a pure Buddha land. Good man! You are now able to use this dharani to mature immeasurable sentient beings, and also to mature all sentient beings in the villages, gardens, and cities of immeasurable Buddha lands (Buddha's realms). You can also manifest various forms according to the needs of sentient beings, and speak various dharmas according to their capacities, or expound the Mahayana sutras for them, opening up profound dharma gates. If it is a Shramana Chandala (a monk of low caste), a Brahmin Chandala (a Brahmin of low caste), a Kshatriya Chandala (a Kshatriya of low caste), a Vaishya Chandala (a Vaishya of low caste), or a Shudra Chandala (a Shudra of low caste), these people who have committed serious offenses, because of you, can have their karmic offenses burned away, and now they are established and growing in good dharma.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke a verse: 'All the greed and strife of sentient beings arise from the various senses. If one can restrain the various senses, one will quickly attain liberation.' At that time, after the Thus Come One finished speaking this sutra, ten thousand humans and devas attained the Dharma-acceptance of Non-origination (understanding of the truth of non-birth and non-death), immeasurable humans and devas attained various samadhis (meditative states), and immeasurable humans and devas attained dharanis (mantras that hold all teachings), and immeasurable humans and devas attained forbearance, and immeasurable humans and devas each advanced in the ten bhumis (ten stages of Bodhisattva practice). At that time, the World Honored One said to Ananda and Bodhisattva Mahasattva Maitreya: 'You should respectfully uphold this sutra.' At that time, Ananda and Bodhisattva Maitreya immediately rose from their seats, bared their right shoulders, knelt on one knee, and with palms joined, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! We have already received and uphold this wonderful sutra. What should this sutra be called?' The Buddha said: 'Good men! This sutra is named the 'Dharani Sutra of Repenting and Exhausting All Sins', also named the 'Sutra of Inconceivable Expedient Wisdom Saving All Sentient Beings', also named the 'Sutra of the Wish-fulfilling Jewel that Fulfills All the Wishes of Sentient Beings', also named the 'Akasagarbha Bodhisattva Sutra'. You should uphold it in this way. Ananda, you should know that if there are good men and good women --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

，久发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心，于无量百千阿僧祇劫，修行六波罗蜜，于十方世界一切佛所种种供养，乃至满无量阿僧祇恒河沙劫。不如有人读诵书写为人解说虚空藏菩萨经，及持名号，比前功德，百分千分百千万亿分不及其一，算数譬类所不能知。” 尔时阿难及弥勒菩萨白佛言：“世尊！我当如是奉持。” 时诸大众，闻佛所说，欢喜踊跃，以诸供具供养于佛。 虚空藏菩萨经 现代汉语译本：长久以来发起了阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心（无上正等正觉之心），在无量百千阿僧祇劫（极长的时间单位）中，修行六波罗蜜（布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧），在十方世界一切佛的处所进行种种供养，乃至持续无量阿僧祇恒河沙劫（极其漫长的时间），都不如有人读诵、书写、为他人解说《虚空藏菩萨经》，以及持念虚空藏菩萨的名号。相比之前的功德，后者所获功德是前者的百分之一、千分之一、百千万亿分之一都无法比拟的，是算数和譬喻都无法知晓的。 当时，阿难和弥勒菩萨对佛说：‘世尊！我们应当如此奉持。’ 当时，所有在场的大众，听闻佛所说，都欢喜踊跃，用各种供品供养佛陀。 《虚空藏菩萨经》

English version: Having long generated the aspiration for Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (supreme perfect enlightenment), and having practiced the Six Paramitas (perfections of giving, morality, patience, diligence, meditation, and wisdom) for immeasurable hundreds of thousands of asamkhya kalpas (incalculable eons), and having made various offerings at the places of all Buddhas in the ten directions, even for immeasurable asamkhya kalpas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, it is still not comparable to someone who reads, writes, and explains the 'Akasagarbha Bodhisattva Sutra' to others, and who upholds the name of Akasagarbha Bodhisattva. Compared to the former merits, the latter's merits are not even one percent, one thousandth, one hundred millionth, or one hundred trillionth of the former, and cannot be known through calculation or analogy. At that time, Ananda and Bodhisattva Maitreya said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! We shall uphold it in this way.' At that time, all the assembly present, hearing what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and leaped for joy, and made offerings to the Buddha with various offerings.
