功德及利益事，或露齿笑，或背面非，或劝人共非，或一人非，或多人非，乃至一念生讥毁者，如是之人，贤劫千佛灭度，讥毁之报，尚在阿鼻地狱，受极重罪。过是劫已，方受饿鬼。又经千劫，复受畜生。又经千劫，方得人身。纵受人身，贫穷下贱，诸根不具，多被恶业，来结其心，不久之间，复堕恶道。是故，普广！讥毁他人供养，尚获此报，何况别生恶见毁灭？ “复次，普广！若未来世，有男子女人，久处床枕，求生求死，了不可得，或夜梦恶鬼，乃及家亲，或游险道，或多魇寐，共鬼神游，日月岁深，转复尪瘵，眠中叫苦，惨凄不乐者，此皆是业道论对，未定轻重，或难舍寿，或不得愈。男女俗眼，不辨是事。但当对诸佛菩萨像前，高声转读此经一遍。或取病人可爱之物，或衣服宝贝、庄园舍宅，对病人前，高声唱言：‘我某甲等，为是病人，对经像前，舍诸等物，或供养经像，或造佛菩萨形像，或造塔寺，或然油灯，或施常住。’如是三白病人，遣令闻知。假令诸识分散，至气尽者，乃至一日、二日、三日、四日，至七日已来，但高声白，高声读经。是人命终之后，宿殃重罪，至于五无间罪，永得解脱。所受生处，常知宿命。何况善男子、善女人，自书此经，或教人书，或自塑画菩萨形像，乃至教 现代汉语译本 关于功德和利益的事情，如果有人露出牙齿嘲笑，或者在背后诽谤，或者劝说他人一起诽谤，或者一个人诽谤，或者多人诽谤，乃至一念之间产生讥讽毁谤的念头，这样的人，即使贤劫千佛都已灭度，讥讽毁谤的报应，仍然会在阿鼻地狱中，遭受极其严重的罪罚。过了这个劫数之后，才会转生为饿鬼。又经过千劫，再次转生为畜生。又经过千劫，才能获得人身。即使获得人身，也会贫穷困苦，诸根不全，常常被恶业缠绕，内心不得安宁，不久之后，又会堕入恶道。所以，普广！讥讽毁谤他人供养，尚且会获得这样的报应，更何况是另外产生邪见而加以毁灭呢？ 再者，普广！如果未来世，有男子女人，长期卧病在床，求生不得，求死不能，或者夜里梦见恶鬼，乃至梦见家亲，或者在危险的道路上游荡，或者经常做噩梦，与鬼神同行，时间久了，身体越来越虚弱，在睡梦中痛苦呻吟，悲惨凄凉，不快乐，这些都是因为业道论对，尚未确定轻重，或者难以舍弃寿命，或者无法痊愈。世俗男女，用肉眼无法辨别这些事情。应当在诸佛菩萨像前，高声诵读此经一遍。或者拿取病人喜爱的东西，或者衣服宝贝、庄园房屋，在病人面前，高声宣告说：‘我某某等人，为了这个病人，在佛像前，舍弃这些物品，或者供养佛像，或者塑造佛菩萨的形象，或者建造塔寺，或者点燃油灯，或者布施常住。’这样三次告知病人，让他知道。即使诸识分散，直到气息断绝，乃至一日、二日、三日、四日，到七日之内，只要高声宣告，高声诵读此经。这个人命终之后，宿世的灾祸重罪，乃至五无间罪，都将永远得到解脱。所受生的处所，常常能够知道宿命。更何况善男子、善女人，自己书写此经，或者教他人书写，或者自己塑造绘画菩萨的形象，乃至教他人塑造绘画呢？

English version Regarding matters of merit and benefit, if someone shows their teeth in mockery, or slanders behind someone's back, or encourages others to slander together, or slanders alone, or many slander, even if a single thought of ridicule and defamation arises, such a person, even if a thousand Buddhas of the Bhadrakalpa have passed away, the retribution for ridicule and defamation will still be in Avici Hell, enduring extremely severe punishments. After this kalpa has passed, they will be reborn as a hungry ghost. After another thousand kalpas, they will be reborn as an animal. After another thousand kalpas, they will finally obtain a human body. Even if they obtain a human body, they will be poor and destitute, with incomplete faculties, often entangled by evil karma, their hearts restless, and soon after, they will fall into evil paths again. Therefore, Puguang! Ridiculing and defaming others' offerings already incurs such retribution, how much more so for those who generate evil views and destroy them? Furthermore, Puguang! If in the future world, there are men and women who have been bedridden for a long time, unable to seek life or death, or who dream of evil ghosts at night, or even dream of family members, or wander on dangerous paths, or frequently have nightmares, or travel with ghosts and spirits, and over time, their bodies become weaker and weaker, groaning in pain during sleep, miserable and unhappy, all these are due to the karmic retribution, the severity of which has not yet been determined, or they are unable to relinquish their lifespan, or they cannot be cured. Ordinary men and women cannot discern these matters with their physical eyes. They should, in front of the images of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, loudly recite this sutra once. Or take the patient's beloved items, or clothing, treasures, estates, and houses, and in front of the patient, loudly proclaim: 'We, so-and-so, for this patient, in front of the Buddha images, are giving up these items, either to make offerings to the Buddha images, or to sculpt the images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, or to build pagodas and temples, or to light oil lamps, or to donate to the permanent residence.' Inform the patient three times in this way, so that they are aware. Even if their consciousness is scattered, until their breath ceases, even for one day, two days, three days, four days, up to seven days, as long as you proclaim loudly and recite this sutra loudly. After this person's life ends, their past calamities and heavy sins, even the five heinous crimes, will be eternally liberated. The place where they are reborn will always be able to know their past lives. How much more so for good men and good women who write this sutra themselves, or teach others to write it, or sculpt and paint the images of Bodhisattvas themselves, or even teach others to sculpt and paint them? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 人塑画，所受果报，必获大利。

“是故，普广！若见有人读诵是经，乃至一念赞叹是经，或恭敬者，汝须百千方便，劝是等人，勤心莫退，能得未来现在千万亿不可思议功德。 “复次，普广！若未来世诸众生等，或梦或寐，见诸鬼神乃及诸形，或悲或啼，或愁或叹，或恐或怖。此皆是一生十生，百生千生，过去父母、男女弟妹、夫妻眷属，在于恶趣，未得出离，无处希望福力救拔，当告宿世骨肉，使作方便，愿离恶道。普广！汝以神力，遣是眷属，令对诸佛菩萨像前，志心自读此经，或请人读。其数三遍，或七遍。如是恶道眷属，经声毕是遍数，当得解脱。乃至梦寐之中，永不复见。 “复次，普广！若未来世有诸下贱等人，或奴或婢，乃至诸不自由之人，觉知宿业，要忏悔者，志心瞻礼地藏菩萨形像，乃至一七日中，念菩萨名，可满万遍。如是等人，尽此报后，千万生中，常生尊贵，更不经三恶道苦。 “复次，普广！若未来世中，阎浮提内，刹利、婆罗门、长者、居士、一切人等，及异姓种族，有新产者，或男或女，七日之中，早与读诵此不思议经典，更为念菩萨名，可满万遍。是新生子，或男或女，宿有殃报，便得解脱，安乐易养，寿命增长。若是承福生者，转增安乐，及与寿命 现代汉语译本：塑造佛像或绘画佛像，所获得的果报必定是巨大的利益。 因此，普广（菩萨名）！如果见到有人读诵这部经，甚至只是一念之间赞叹这部经，或者恭敬这部经的人，你必须用百千种方法，劝导这些人，勤奋精进不要退转，能够得到未来和现在千万亿不可思议的功德。 再者，普广！如果未来世的众生，或者在梦中，或者在睡着时，见到各种鬼神以及各种形象，或者悲伤，或者哭泣，或者忧愁，或者叹息，或者恐惧，或者害怕。这些都是一生、十生、百生、千生，过去的父母、兄弟姐妹、夫妻眷属，在恶道之中，没有得到解脱，没有地方希望得到福力救拔，应当告诉他们前世的骨肉亲人，让他们想办法，希望他们脱离恶道。普广！你用你的神力，派遣这些眷属，让他们在诸佛菩萨像前，真心诚意地自己读诵这部经，或者请人读诵。读诵三遍，或者七遍。这样，在恶道的眷属，经声结束这些遍数后，应当得到解脱。甚至在梦中，也永远不会再见到他们。 再者，普广！如果未来世有各种卑贱的人，或者奴隶，或者婢女，甚至各种不自由的人，觉知到自己前世的业报，想要忏悔的，真心诚意地瞻仰礼拜地藏菩萨（菩萨名）的形像，甚至在一七日中，念诵菩萨的名号，可以念满一万遍。这样的人，在结束这一世的报应后，千万生中，常常出生在尊贵的环境，不再经历三恶道的痛苦。 再者，普广！如果未来世中，在阎浮提（世界名）内，刹利（印度四大种姓之一，指武士、王族）、婆罗门（印度四大种姓之一，指祭司）、长者（富裕的年长者）、居士（在家信徒）、一切人等，以及其他不同姓氏的种族，有新生儿出生，无论是男孩还是女孩，在七天之内，尽早为他们读诵这部不可思议的经典，并且为他们念诵菩萨的名号，可以念满一万遍。这个新生儿，无论是男孩还是女孩，如果宿世有灾殃报应，便可以得到解脱，安乐易养，寿命增长。如果是承福报而生的，会更加安乐，并且寿命也会增长。

English version: The merit and reward of sculpting or painting Buddha images is sure to be immense. Therefore, Puguang (a Bodhisattva)! If you see someone reciting this sutra, even if it's just a single thought of praising this sutra, or someone who respects it, you must use hundreds and thousands of methods to encourage these people, to be diligent and not retreat, so that they can obtain immeasurable merits and virtues in the future and present. Furthermore, Puguang! If sentient beings in the future world, whether in dreams or while sleeping, see various ghosts and spirits and various forms, or are sad, or crying, or worried, or sighing, or fearful, or terrified. These are all past parents, siblings, spouses, and relatives from one life, ten lives, a hundred lives, or a thousand lives, who are in the evil realms, have not been liberated, and have no place to hope for the power of blessings to save them. They should tell their flesh and blood relatives from past lives to find ways to help them escape the evil realms. Puguang! You should use your divine power to send these relatives to the presence of the images of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and have them sincerely recite this sutra themselves, or have someone else recite it. Recite it three times, or seven times. In this way, the relatives in the evil realms, after the sound of the sutra has finished these recitations, should be liberated. Even in dreams, they will never be seen again. Furthermore, Puguang! If in the future world there are various lowly people, or slaves, or servants, or even various people who are not free, who are aware of their past karma and want to repent, they should sincerely venerate and bow to the image of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva (a Bodhisattva), and even within seven days, recite the Bodhisattva's name, which can be recited ten thousand times. Such people, after the end of this life's retribution, will be born into noble circumstances in thousands of lives, and will no longer experience the suffering of the three evil realms. Furthermore, Puguang! If in the future world, within Jambudvipa (a world), there are Kshatriyas (one of the four castes in India, referring to warriors and royalty), Brahmins (one of the four castes in India, referring to priests), elders (wealthy elders), lay practitioners (Buddhist followers who are not monks), all people, and other races of different surnames, who have newborns, whether boys or girls, within seven days, they should recite this inconceivable sutra for them as soon as possible, and recite the Bodhisattva's name for them, which can be recited ten thousand times. This newborn, whether a boy or a girl, if they have past karmic retribution, will be liberated, be peaceful and easy to raise, and have their lifespan increased. If they are born with blessings, they will be even more peaceful, and their lifespan will also increase. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。

“复次，普广！若未来世众生，于月一日、八日、十四日、十五日、十八日、二十三、二十四、二十八、二十九日，乃至三十日，是诸日等，诸罪结集，定其轻重。南阎浮提众生，举止动念，无不是业，无不是罪，何况恣情杀害、窃盗、邪淫、妄语，百千罪状？能于是十斋日，对佛菩萨诸贤圣像前，读是经一遍，东西南北，百由旬内，无诸灾难。当此居家，若长若幼，现在未来百千岁中，永离恶趣。能于十斋日每转一遍，现世令此居家无诸横病，衣食丰溢。 “是故，普广！当知地藏菩萨有如是等不可说百千万亿大威神力利益之事。阎浮众生，于此大士有大因缘。是诸众生，闻菩萨名，见菩萨像，乃至闻是经，三字五字，或一偈一句者，现在殊妙安乐，未来之世，百千万生，常得端正，生尊贵家。” 尔时，普广菩萨闻佛如来称扬赞叹地藏菩萨已，胡跪合掌，复白佛言：“世尊！我久知是大士有如此不可思议神力，及大誓愿力。为未来众生，遣知利益，故问如来，唯然顶受。世尊！当何名此经？使我云何流布？” 佛告普广：“此经有三名：一名地藏本愿，亦名地藏本行，亦名地藏本誓力经。缘此菩萨，久远劫来，发大重愿，利益众生，是故汝等，依愿流布。” 普广闻已，合掌 现代汉语译本：佛陀又对普广菩萨说：‘普广，如果未来世界的众生，在每月的初一、初八、十四、十五、十八、二十三、二十四、二十八、二十九，乃至三十这些日子里，是各种罪业汇集的时候，会判定罪行的轻重。南阎浮提（指我们所居住的这个世界）的众生，一举一动，每一个念头，没有不是业，没有不是罪的，更何况是放纵自己的欲望去杀害、偷盗、邪淫、说谎，犯下成百上千的罪行呢？如果能在这些十斋日，在佛菩萨以及各位贤圣的像前，诵读这部经一遍，那么东西南北一百由旬（古印度长度单位，约合今天的1200-1600公里）的范围内，就不会有各种灾难。这个家庭，无论是年长的还是年幼的，在现在和未来的千百万年中，都将永远脱离恶道。如果能在十斋日每天诵读一遍，那么现世就能使这个家庭没有各种意外的疾病，衣食丰足。’ ‘所以，普广，你应该知道地藏菩萨有这样不可思议的、百千万亿的大威神力，能够利益众生。阎浮提的众生，与这位大菩萨有很深的因缘。这些众生，听到菩萨的名号，见到菩萨的像，乃至听到这部经的三个字、五个字，或者一个偈子、一句经文，现在就能得到殊胜的安乐，在未来的千百万世中，常常能够相貌端正，出生在尊贵的家庭。’ 这时，普广菩萨听佛如来称扬赞叹地藏菩萨后，跪下合掌，再次对佛说：‘世尊，我早就知道这位大菩萨有如此不可思议的神力，以及大誓愿力。为了让未来的众生了解这些利益，所以才向如来请教，我完全接受您的教诲。世尊，这部经应当叫什么名字？我应该如何传播流通呢？’ 佛告诉普广：‘这部经有三个名字：一名叫《地藏本愿》，也叫《地藏本行》，也叫《地藏本誓力经》。因为这位菩萨，在久远的劫以来，发下了重大的誓愿，要利益众生，所以你们应当按照他的誓愿来传播流通。’ 普广听后，合掌。
