English version: Therefore, Avalokiteshvara (观音), you should know, and universally proclaim to all lands as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. Chapter Thirteen: Entrusting to Humans and Devas At that time, the World Honored One raised his golden arm and again stroked the crown of the head of Bodhisattva Mahasattva Ksitigarbha (地藏), and said these words: 'Ksitigarbha! Ksitigarbha! Your spiritual power is inconceivable; your compassion is inconceivable; your wisdom is inconceivable; your eloquence is inconceivable. Even if all the Buddhas of the ten directions were to praise and proclaim your inconceivable deeds, they could not exhaust them in millions of kalpas (劫, eons). Ksitigarbha! Ksitigarbha! Remember that today, in the Trayastrimsa Heaven (忉利天, one of the six heavens of the desire realm, where Indra resides), in the great assembly of hundreds of thousands of millions of inexpressible, inexpressible Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and the eight classes of gods and dragons (天龙八部, protectors of Buddhism), I again entrust to you all the beings of humans and devas, those who have not yet left the three realms (欲界, 色界, 无色界, desire realm, form realm, formless realm), and are still in the burning house (火宅, a metaphor for the world filled with afflictions and suffering). Do not let these beings fall into evil realms for even a single day or night, let alone fall into the five Avici hells (五无间, hells for extremely grave offenses) and the Avici hell (阿鼻地狱, the most painful of the eight great hells), where they would suffer for millions of kalpas without any hope of release?' 'Ksitigarbha! The beings of Jambudvipa (南阎浮提, the world we inhabit) have unstable minds, and many are inclined to evil. Even if they generate good thoughts, they quickly regress. If they encounter evil conditions, their evil thoughts grow moment by moment. Because of this, I manifest hundreds of thousands of millions of transformation bodies to liberate them, according to their individual capacities. Ksitigarbha! I now earnestly entrust to you the assembly of devas and humans. In the future, if there are devas, good men, or good women who plant even a small root of goodness in the Dharma, even as small as a hair, a mote of dust, a grain of sand, or a drop of water, you should use your spiritual power to protect these people, so that they may gradually cultivate the unsurpassed path and not regress. Furthermore, Ksitigarbha! In the future, if devas or humans, according to their karmic retribution, fall into evil realms, and are about to fall into those realms, or have already reached the entrance, if these beings can recite the name of one Buddha, the name of one Bodhisattva, or one verse of a Mahayana (大乘, the Great Vehicle) scripture, you should use your spiritual power to expediently rescue them. In the places where these people are, manifest boundless bodies, destroy the hells, and cause them to be reborn in the heavens, where they may enjoy supreme bliss.' At that time -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 时，世尊而说偈言： “现在未来天人众， 吾今殷勤付嘱汝， 以大神通方便度， 勿令堕在诸恶趣。”

尔时，地藏菩萨摩诃萨胡跪合掌，白佛言：“世尊！唯愿世尊，不以为虑。未来世中，若有善男子、善女人，于佛法中，一念恭敬，我亦百千方便，度脱是人，于生死中，速得解脱。何况闻诸善事，念念修行？自然于无上道，永不退转。” 说是语时，会中有一菩萨，名虚空藏，白佛言：“世尊！我自至忉利，闻于如来赞叹地藏菩萨威神势力，不可思议。未来世中，若有善男子、善女人，乃及一切天龙，闻此经典，及地藏名字，或瞻礼形像，得几种福利？唯愿世尊，为未来现在一切众等，略而说之。” 佛告虚空藏菩萨：“谛听！谛听！吾当为汝分别说之。若未来世，有善男子、善女人，见地藏形像，及闻此经，乃至读诵，香华饮食、衣服珍宝，布施供养，赞叹瞻礼，得二十八种利益：一者天龙护念，二者善果日增，三者集圣上因，四者菩提不退，五者衣食丰足，六者疾疫不临，七者离水火灾，八者无盗贼厄，九者人见钦敬，十者神鬼助持，十一者女转男身，十二者为王臣女，十三者端正相好，十四者多生天上，十五者或为帝王，十六者宿智命通，十七者有求皆从，十八者眷属欢乐 ，十九者诸横销灭，二十者业道永除，二十一者去处尽通，二十二者夜梦安乐，二十三者先亡离苦，二十四者宿福受生，二十五者诸圣赞叹，二十六者聪明利根，二十七者饶慈愍心，二十八者毕竟成佛。 “复次，虚空藏菩萨！若现在未来，天龙鬼神，闻地藏名，礼地藏形，或闻地藏本愿事行，赞叹瞻礼，得七种利益：一者速超圣地，二者恶业销灭，三者诸佛护临，四者菩提不退，五者增长本力，六者宿命皆通，七者毕竟成佛。” 尔时，十方一切诸来不可说不可说诸佛如来，及大菩萨、天龙八部，闻释迦牟尼佛，称扬赞叹地藏菩萨，大威神力，不可思议，叹未曾有。是时忉利天，雨无量香华，天衣珠璎，供养释迦牟尼佛，及地藏菩萨已。一切众会，俱复瞻礼，合掌而退。 地藏菩萨本愿经卷下 现代汉语译本 十九、各种横祸消灭，二十、恶业的道路永远消除，二十一、所去之处一切通达无碍，二十二、夜晚做梦安稳快乐，二十三、已故的亲人脱离苦难，二十四、过去所修的福报得以受用，并能转生善处，二十五、受到诸位圣贤的赞叹，二十六、变得聪明且具有敏锐的根性，二十七、充满慈悲怜悯之心，二十八、最终成就佛果。 ‘再者，虚空藏菩萨（Xukongzang Pusa，菩萨名）！如果现在或未来，天龙（Tianlong，天神和龙神）、鬼神等众生，听闻地藏（Dizang，菩萨名）之名，礼拜地藏的形象，或者听闻地藏菩萨的本愿事迹和修行，并加以赞叹瞻仰礼拜，可以获得七种利益：一、迅速超越凡夫境界，到达圣贤之地；二、恶业消灭；三、得到诸佛的护佑和降临；四、菩提心永不退转；五、增长自身原有的力量；六、能够通晓过去世的宿命；七、最终成就佛果。’ 当时，十方一切前来集会的不可说不可说诸佛如来（Zhufurulai，佛的称号），以及大菩萨、天龙八部（Tianlongbabu，佛教中的八类护法神）等，听闻释迦牟尼佛（Shijiamouni Fo，佛名）称扬赞叹地藏菩萨的大威神力，不可思议，都感叹从未有过这样的殊胜。这时，忉利天（Daolitian，欲界六天之一）降下无量的香花、天衣和珠宝璎珞，供养释迦牟尼佛和地藏菩萨。一切在场的众会，都再次瞻仰礼拜，合掌而退。 《地藏菩萨本愿经》卷下

English version Nineteenth, all kinds of unexpected disasters are extinguished; twentieth, the path of evil karma is forever eliminated; twenty-first, all places one goes are unobstructed; twenty-second, one has peaceful and joyful dreams at night; twenty-third, deceased relatives are liberated from suffering; twenty-fourth, past blessings are received and one is reborn in a good place; twenty-fifth, one is praised by all the sages; twenty-sixth, one becomes intelligent and possesses sharp faculties; twenty-seventh, one is filled with compassion and mercy; twenty-eighth, one ultimately attains Buddhahood. 'Furthermore, Bodhisattva Xukongzang (Xukongzang Pusa, name of a Bodhisattva)! If in the present or future, beings such as gods, dragons (Tianlong, gods and dragon deities), and ghosts, hear the name of Dizang (Dizang, name of a Bodhisattva), pay homage to the image of Dizang, or hear of Dizang Bodhisattva's fundamental vows and practices, and praise and venerate them, they will obtain seven benefits: first, they will quickly transcend the realm of ordinary beings and reach the realm of sages; second, evil karma will be extinguished; third, they will receive the protection and presence of all Buddhas; fourth, their Bodhi mind will never regress; fifth, their original power will increase; sixth, they will be able to understand their past lives; seventh, they will ultimately attain Buddhahood.' At that time, all the ineffable and countless Buddhas Tathagatas (Zhufurulai, title of a Buddha) who had come from the ten directions, as well as the great Bodhisattvas, the eight classes of gods and dragons (Tianlongbabu, eight classes of protective deities in Buddhism), upon hearing Shakyamuni Buddha (Shijiamouni Fo, name of a Buddha) extolling and praising the great spiritual power of Dizang Bodhisattva, which is inconceivable, all marveled at such unprecedented magnificence. At this time, the Trayastrimsha Heaven (Daolitian, one of the six heavens in the desire realm) rained down immeasurable fragrant flowers, heavenly garments, and jeweled necklaces as offerings to Shakyamuni Buddha and Dizang Bodhisattva. All the assembled beings once again paid homage and retreated with palms joined.
