English version: All diseases will be healed, or some, merely by seeing the manifested form of the Bodhisattva, will have their diseases immediately removed. Such, good man, is the great compassion of the Mahāsattva (great being) Akasagarbha Bodhisattva. If there are sentient beings who are poor and suffering, desiring great wealth, desiring to recite and study much, desiring to delight in much learning, desiring to seek liberation, desiring to be free from desires, desiring to attain meditative concentration, desiring to gain fame, desiring to be the foremost, desiring to be skillful, desiring to be free, desiring to have a handsome appearance, desiring to have a good countenance, desiring to have a wonderful voice, desiring to have a good fragrance, desiring to have the best flavors, desiring to have good tactile sensations, desiring to have food and drink, desiring to be courageous and strong, desiring to have a noble lineage, desiring to have a son, desiring to have a daughter, desiring to have family members, desiring to have blessings, desiring to accomplish the six pāramitās (perfections: generosity, morality, patience, diligence, meditation, and wisdom), desiring to have skillful speech, desiring to protect all sentient beings, desiring to be freed from all prisons, desiring to break all evil precepts, those with a giving heart wish to establish these, and so it is with wisdom. Desiring to have longevity, desiring to have much wealth and be able to use it, desiring to make the miserly able to practice giving, those who break precepts to uphold them, those who are angry to cultivate patience, those who are lazy to abide in diligence, those with scattered minds to cultivate meditation, those who are foolish to cultivate wisdom, those who are uncertain of their path to be encouraged to study the Śrāvakayāna (the path of the hearers), and those who are attached to self to be taught the Pratyekabuddhayāna (the path of the solitary realizer). If there are sentient beings who are far from great compassion, cherishing only themselves and abandoning all other beings, wishing to be free from this mind, to generate great compassion, not only protecting themselves but also embracing all beings, and generating the mind of Anuttarā-samyak-sambodhi (the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment). Good man, at that time, the Mahāsattva Akasagarbha Bodhisattva, knowing their minds, will manifest skillful means, causing these sentient beings to abandon their former thoughts, to generate great compassion, not only protecting themselves but also not abandoning all beings, generating the Bodhi mind, and abiding in the four Brahmavihāras (immeasurables: loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity). If there are sentient beings who delight in great compassion, desiring to save all sentient beings, desiring to abide in Anuttarā-samyak-sambodhi, in a secluded place, or in a forest, or in an open space, burning solid black aloeswood and tagara incense, joining their palms respectfully towards the ten directions, prostrating themselves with their five limbs touching the ground, and sincerely taking refuge. The Mahāsattva Akasagarbha Bodhisattva will then speak this dhāraṇī mantra: English version: All diseases will be healed, or some, merely by seeing the manifested form of the Bodhisattva, will have their diseases immediately removed.
