English version The Buddha's form is supremely excellent. People who hear this honored scripture, if they respect, believe, and rejoice in it, Practice, uphold, recite, and study it, remaining pure and without negligence. If a woman believes in this scripture, maintaining reverence and caution without flattery, She can abandon her female form and transform into a man, becoming intelligent and always wise. Upholding the names of the Eight Buddhas, they will not be harmed by thieves when going out or coming in. Weapons, fire, poison, and all evils cannot harm them, Loving and practicing this scripture, all demons cannot take advantage. Ghosts, spirits, and their retinues cannot disturb them, They can fly to various Buddha lands, and wherever they go, there is great joy and abundance. With a pure mind and no evil thoughts, they will be very happy to see the Buddha, Wherever they are born, they will always encounter the Buddha, serving them with an equal mind. All evils will be eliminated, and they will quickly attain the path of Nirvana, Practicing diligently without laziness, they will be free from all attachments. Being honest and upright, upholding the names of the Eight Buddhas, They will bravely subdue all demons, their strength like that of Vajra (diamond). With a dignified appearance and possessing all good qualities, nothing can compare to them, Giving generously without stinginess or greed, they will be born into wealthy families. Thieves and enemies will naturally disappear, Diseases, lawsuits, the cawing of crows, and all bad dreams, By reciting the names of these Eight Buddhas, chanting will eliminate and heal them. Those who uphold this scripture, such as Maitreya Bodhisattva (the future Buddha), And the First Four Heavenly Kings (Buddhist guardian deities), will always protect them together. All their wishes can be fulfilled, and they will be overjoyed, Those who believe and rejoice wholeheartedly will receive such blessings. At that time, the Bodhisattvas: Baddhāvāra Bodhisattva (Bhadrapala Bodhisattva), Roreṇakara Bodhisattva (Vimalagarbha Bodhisattva), Kyo-yutou Bodhisattva (Ratnakara Bodhisattva), Narada Bodhisattva (Anabhilagna Bodhisattva), Susimmi Bodhisattva (Subhuti Bodhisattva), Mahasuhasava Bodhisattva (Mahasudarsana Bodhisattva), Indradatta Bodhisattva (Devadatta Bodhisattva), and Haruncho Bodhisattva (Damana Bodhisattva), these eight Bodhisattvas, since seeking the path, have gone through countless kalpas and have not yet attained Buddhahood. They vowed: 'May all people in the ten directions of the world attain the path of Buddhahood. If anyone is suffering from a sudden illness, they should call upon our names.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: 'Reciting the names of these eight individuals will lead to liberation; when one's life is about to end, we eight will fly to welcome them.' All the Bodhisattvas, such as Maitreya (the future Buddha), and the first Four Heavenly Kings (the Four Heavenly Kings, guardians of Buddhism), all said to the Buddha: 'We shall protect those who uphold the 'Eight Auspicious Divine Mantra Sutra', and together with them, we will strive to ensure that all illnesses are cured.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Sariputra (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples), Bodhisattva Maitreya, and all the bhikkhus (Buddhist monks), Nagas (Buddhist guardian deities), ghosts and spirits, Asura Kings (a type of deity), and others were all very joyful and delighted to hear it.
