竹木，作其龛室。是中能塑画，乃至金银铜铁，作地藏形像，烧香供养，瞻礼赞叹。是人居处，即得十种利益。何等为十？一者，土地丰壤。二者，家宅永安。三者，先亡生天。四者，现存益寿。五者，所求遂意。六者，无水火灾。七者，虚耗辟除。八者，杜绝恶梦。九者，出入神护。十者，多遇圣因。 “世尊！未来世中，及现在众生，若能于所住处方面，作如是供养，得如是利益。” 复白佛言：“世尊！未来世中，若有善男子、善女人，于所住处，有此经典及菩萨像，是人更能转读经典，供养菩萨。我常日夜，以本神力，卫护是人，乃至水火盗贼，大横小横，一切恶事，悉皆销灭。” 佛告坚牢地神：“汝大神力，诸神少及。何以故？阎浮土地，悉蒙汝护。乃至草木沙石，稻麻竹苇，谷米宝贝，从地而有，皆因汝力。又常称扬地藏菩萨利益之事，汝之功德，及以神通，百千倍于常分。地神！若未来世中，有善男子、善女人，供养菩萨，及转读是经，但依地藏本愿经一事修行者，汝以本神力，而拥护之。勿令一切灾害，及不如意事，辄闻于耳，何况令受？非但汝独护是人故，亦有释梵眷属、诸天眷属，拥护是人。何故得如是圣贤拥护？皆由瞻礼地藏形像，及转读是本愿经故。自然毕竟出离苦海 现代汉语译本 用竹子或木头制作龛室，在其中塑造或绘画，甚至用金银铜铁制作地藏菩萨（Ksitigarbha）的形像，焚香供养，瞻仰礼拜，赞叹歌颂。这个人所居住的地方，就能得到十种利益。是哪十种呢？第一，土地肥沃丰饶。第二，家宅永远平安。第三，已故的亲人能往生天界。第四，在世的人能增福延寿。第五，所求的事情都能如愿。第六，没有水灾火灾。第七，虚耗之事被消除。第八，杜绝恶梦。第九，出入都有神灵护佑。第十，常常遇到圣贤的因缘。 ‘世尊！未来世中，以及现在的众生，如果能在自己居住的地方，按照这样的方式供养，就能得到这样的利益。’ 又禀告佛说：‘世尊！未来世中，如果有善男子、善女人，在自己居住的地方，有这部经典和菩萨的形像，这个人如果更能转读经典，供养菩萨。我常常日夜用我本有的神力，卫护这个人，乃至水灾火灾、盗贼，大的横祸小的横祸，一切不好的事情，都全部消灭。’ 佛告诉坚牢地神（Drdha）：‘你的大神力，众神都难以相比。为什么呢？阎浮提（Jambudvipa）的土地，都蒙受你的护佑。乃至草木沙石，稻麻竹苇，谷米宝贝，从地上生长出来的，都是因为你的力量。你又常常称扬地藏菩萨利益众生的事迹，你的功德，以及你的神通，比平常要多出百千倍。地神！如果未来世中，有善男子、善女人，供养菩萨，以及转读这部经典，只要依照《地藏本愿经》一事修行的人，你就要用你本有的神力，来拥护他。不要让一切灾害，以及不如意的事情，轻易地传入他的耳中，更何况让他遭受呢？不只是你独自护佑这个人，还有释提桓因（Sakra devanam Indra）、梵天（Brahma）的眷属、诸天眷属，都来拥护这个人。为什么能得到这些圣贤的拥护呢？都是因为瞻仰礼拜地藏菩萨的形像，以及转读这部《本愿经》的缘故。自然最终能够脱离苦海。’

English version Make a shrine of bamboo or wood. Within it, sculpt or paint, or even use gold, silver, copper, or iron to create an image of Ksitigarbha (Earth Treasury Bodhisattva), burn incense, make offerings, gaze upon it with reverence, and praise it. The place where this person dwells will receive ten benefits. What are the ten? First, the land will be fertile and abundant. Second, the home will be forever peaceful. Third, deceased relatives will be reborn in the heavens. Fourth, those living will have their lives extended. Fifth, all wishes will be fulfilled. Sixth, there will be no floods or fires. Seventh, wasteful expenses will be eliminated. Eighth, bad dreams will be prevented. Ninth, divine protection will be received when going out and coming in. Tenth, one will often encounter the causes of enlightenment. 'World Honored One! In the future, and for beings now living, if they can make such offerings in the place where they dwell, they will receive such benefits.' Again, he said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! In the future, if there are good men or good women who, in the place where they dwell, have this Sutra and the image of the Bodhisattva, and if this person can further recite the Sutra and make offerings to the Bodhisattva, I will constantly, day and night, use my inherent divine power to protect this person, even from floods, fires, thieves, great calamities, small calamities, and all evil things, which will all be extinguished.' The Buddha told Drdha (Firm Earth) Earth Spirit, 'Your great divine power is unmatched by other spirits. Why is this? The land of Jambudvipa is entirely under your protection. Even the grasses, trees, sand, stones, rice, hemp, bamboo, reeds, grains, and treasures that come from the earth are all due to your power. Moreover, you constantly praise the beneficial deeds of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Your merit and your spiritual powers are a hundred thousand times greater than usual. Earth Spirit! If in the future there are good men or good women who make offerings to the Bodhisattva and recite this Sutra, and who practice according to the single teaching of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vows Sutra, you should use your inherent divine power to protect them. Do not let any calamities or unpleasant things easily reach their ears, let alone cause them to suffer. It is not only you who protect this person, but also the retinue of Sakra devanam Indra (Indra), the retinue of Brahma, and the retinues of all the devas, who will protect this person. Why do they receive the protection of these sages and worthies? It is all because they gaze upon and revere the image of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and recite this Fundamental Vows Sutra. Naturally, they will ultimately escape the sea of suffering.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ，证涅槃乐。以是之故，得大拥护。” 见闻利益品第十二

This Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva possesses great compassion, pities suffering beings, and manifests hundreds of thousands of millions of bodies in hundreds of thousands of millions of worlds. All his merits and inconceivable spiritual powers, I have heard the World Honored One and the countless Buddhas of the ten directions praise Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva with one voice, saying: Even if the Buddhas of the past, present, and future were to speak of his merits, they could not exhaust them.

称扬地藏不思议事，令天龙八部，瞻礼获福。” 佛告观世音菩萨：“汝于娑婆世界，有大因缘。若天若龙、若男若女、若神若鬼，乃至六道罪苦众生，闻汝名者、见汝形者、恋慕汝者、赞叹汝者，是诸众生，于无上道，必不退转，常生人天，具受妙乐，因果将熟，遇佛授记。汝今具大慈悲，怜愍众生，及天龙八部，听吾宣说地藏菩萨不思议利益之事。汝当谛听，吾今说之。” 观世音言：“唯然，世尊！愿乐欲闻。” 佛告观世音菩萨：“未来现在诸世界中，有天人受天福尽，有五衰相现，或有堕于恶道之者。如是天人，若男若女，当现相时，或见地藏菩萨形像，或闻地藏菩萨名，一瞻一礼，是诸天人，转增天福，受大快乐，永不堕三恶道报。何况见闻菩萨，以诸香、华、衣服、饮食、宝贝、璎珞，布施供养，所获功德福利，无量无边。 “复次，观世音！若未来现在诸世界中，六道众生，临命终时，得闻地藏菩萨名，一声历耳根者，是诸众生，永不历三恶道苦。何况临命终时，父母眷属，将是命终人舍宅、财物、宝贝、衣服，塑画地藏形像。或使病人未终之时，眼耳见闻，知道眷属将舍宅宝贝等，为其自身，塑画地藏菩萨形像。是人若是业报合受重病者，承斯功德，寻即除愈，寿命增益 赞扬地藏菩萨不可思议的事迹，使天龙八部（佛教中的八类护法神）瞻仰礼拜，获得福报。 佛陀告诉观世音菩萨：‘你与娑婆世界（我们所处的世界）有很深的因缘。无论是天人、龙、男人、女人、神、鬼，乃至六道（佛教中的六种轮回道）中受苦的众生，凡是听到你的名字、见到你的形象、爱慕你、赞叹你的人，这些众生在无上菩提道（成佛之道）上必定不会退转，常能转生到人天善道，享受美好的快乐，因缘成熟时，会遇到佛陀授记。你现在具有大慈悲心，怜悯众生以及天龙八部，听我宣说地藏菩萨不可思议的利益之事。你应当仔细听，我现在就说。’ 观世音菩萨说：‘是的，世尊！我非常乐意听闻。’ 佛陀告诉观世音菩萨：‘在未来和现在的各个世界中，有些天人享受天福完毕，出现五衰相（天人寿命将尽的五种衰败征兆），或者有堕落到恶道（地狱、饿鬼、畜生）的。这样的天人，无论是男是女，当出现衰败征兆时，如果见到地藏菩萨的形象，或者听到地藏菩萨的名号，只要瞻仰礼拜一次，这些天人就会转增天福，享受更大的快乐，永远不会堕落到三恶道受报。更何况是见到或听到菩萨的名号，用各种香、花、衣服、饮食、宝贝、璎珞等布施供养，所获得的功德福报，更是无量无边。 ‘再者，观世音！如果未来和现在的各个世界中，六道众生在临命终时，能够听到地藏菩萨的名号，哪怕只是一声传入耳根，这些众生就永远不会经历三恶道的痛苦。更何况在临命终时，父母眷属将这个临终者的房屋、财物、宝贝、衣服，用来塑造或绘画地藏菩萨的形象。或者让病人未死之前，眼睛和耳朵能够看到或听到，知道眷属将房屋宝贝等，为了他自身，塑造或绘画地藏菩萨的形象。这个人如果是业报注定要遭受重病，凭借这个功德，也会立刻痊愈，寿命增长。’
