English version It's like this, the person who surpasses, what the heavens cannot cover, what the earth cannot bear, the immeasurable billions, hundreds of thousands, and 'gai' (an extremely large unit of number) of Buddha lands (the worlds where Buddhas teach), then you can reach the world of 'Jie Jun'. There is a Buddha there named 'Bao Guang Yue Dian' (Precious Light Moon Palace), also called 'Miao Zun Yin Wang Ru Lai' (Wonderful Honored Sound King Tathagata, one of the ten titles of a Buddha), 'Zhi Zhen' (The Truthful One, a title of a Buddha), 'Deng Zheng Jue' (Perfect Enlightenment, the wisdom of a Buddha), 'Ming Xing Cheng Wei' (Perfect in Knowledge and Conduct, the virtues of a Buddha), 'Shan Shi' (Well-Gone, a title of a Buddha), 'Shi Jian Jie' (Understanding of the World, the wisdom of a Buddha), 'Wu Shang Shi' (Unsurpassed One, a title of a Buddha), 'Dao Fa Yu' (Tamer of Beings, a title of a Buddha), 'Tian Ren Shi' (Teacher of Gods and Humans, a title of a Buddha), 'Fo' (Buddha, the enlightened one), 'Shi Zun' (World Honored One, a title of a Buddha), who is present there now. Sons and daughters of good families who study the Bodhisattva path (the practice of Mahayana Buddhism), hearing the name of that Buddha without doubt, believing that the Buddha's wisdom eye (the wisdom of a Buddha) can hear this name, the place where they are born will become a 'Wheel-Turning King' (an ideal ruler of the world). If a Buddha appears in the world, they will often meet the Buddha, see countless Buddhas, the Truthful Ones (a title of a Buddha), and make offerings to them, purely practice 'Brahma conduct' (pure conduct), obtain supernatural powers, move freely, have mastery of 'Dharani' (memory and understanding of Buddhist teachings), be able to see the Tathagata (a title of a Buddha), see as many equal and perfect enlightenments (the wisdom of a Buddha) as the sands of the Ganges River, abandon birth and death, surpass as many eons (extremely long units of time) as the sands of the Ganges River, their hearts are always peaceful, never forgetting, constantly aspiring to the unsurpassed and true path (the teachings of the Buddha), without dust, not approaching the dust of the world, therefore obtaining freedom, their bodies are as firm as hooks and chains, staying in one place they possess the four necessities (clothing, food, shelter, and medicine), their bodies are like purple gold, adorned with the thirty-two marks of a great man (physical characteristics of a Buddha), obtaining the eight kinds of sounds (the voice of a Buddha) like Brahma, abandoning the eight difficulties (eight obstacles to practicing Buddhism), and always obtaining peace and quiet. At that time, the World Honored One, having observed this meaning, then spoke in verse: 'Those who hear the name of 'World Roar' (a title of a Buddha), do not harbor doubt in their hearts, Firmly believing in the light of the Buddha's teachings, they are truly blessed. They will often become Wheel-Turning Kings, always encountering Buddhas, When the time is right, they will make offerings, in immeasurable and inconceivable numbers. Constantly following the practice of Brahma conduct, with supernatural powers they walk alone, Holding and turning all Dharani, they are able to see the path of the Buddhas. They are always able to see the Buddhas, as many as the sands of the Ganges River, Surpassing all births and deaths, even billions of eons are like a few. Because they aspire to the Buddha's path, their hearts have never forgotten, Proclaiming the name of 'World Roar', they ask for it to be spread to the masses. They will achieve the status of a Wheel-Turning Sage King, standing in one place freely, Their bodies will appear as purple gold, possessing the thirty-two marks of excellence.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 若有闻佛号， 声音喻梵天， 弃捐八难处， 五体归礼敬。 不障塞佛道， 未曾怀瞋恨， 其闻佛名者， 不怀犹豫故。 若奉最胜号， 夙夜具七日， 彼眼致清净， 逮见无量佛， 未舍于肉眼， 而普见清净， 睹无数诸佛， 犹如江河沙。”

佛告童子：“若有菩萨闻彼佛名，及与凡夫殷勤精思，而遥自归咸能供养，悉闻十方诸佛所说，目皆睹见佥信乐之。前世宿命曾所供养无央数佛，适能得闻诸如来名，辄皆识念本所游历，为说往世本末名号，志所誓愿见他众生根原所从来。究竟佛道心怀悦豫，亘如日出永无尘翳，所睹极旷，弃除八难斗诤之事，其心和雅常怀闲静。若有笃信于佛道者，和合离别未曾怵惕，正使往世犯诸罪衅，应在恶趣烧炙劫数，小遇头痛众殃消除。火不能灾、风不能中，国主王者不能加害。闻如来名未曾生盲，目不痛瞎，不聋不哑，闻佛名故不偻不跛。诸龙、鬼神及阿须伦、饿鬼𧞣鬼、人与非人不能犯触，诸魅、暴鬼、神龙、地祇莫不爱乐。假使执持诸佛名者，功德如是，不可称计。” 佛于是而作颂曰： “目皆见诸佛， 咸能供养之， 闻所说辄受， 其人佥信乐。 宿命所更历， 供养无数佛， 适闻彼佛名， 现代汉语译本 如果有人听闻佛号，其声音如同梵天（Brahma，印度教的创造之神）之音， 便能脱离八难（八种难以修行佛法的障碍）之处，五体投地，虔诚礼拜。 他们不会阻碍佛道，心中不曾怀有嗔恨， 因为听闻佛名的人，心中不会有丝毫犹豫。 如果有人奉持最殊胜的佛号，早晚精进修行七日， 他们的眼睛将会变得清净，能够见到无量诸佛， 即使尚未舍弃肉眼，也能普遍见到清净的景象， 看到无数的佛陀，如同恒河沙数一般。 佛陀告诉童子：‘如果菩萨听闻彼佛之名，以及凡夫勤勉精进地思索，并遥远地归依，都能得到供养，都能听闻十方诸佛所说之法，亲眼见到并都信受欢喜。他们前世的宿命中曾经供养过无数的佛陀，才能听闻诸如来的名号，并且都能忆起自己曾经游历过的地方，为他们讲述往世的本末名号，以及他们所立下的誓愿，看到其他众生的根源所从来。最终成就佛道，心中充满喜悦，如同太阳升起，永远没有尘埃遮蔽，所见极其广阔，摒弃八难和争斗之事，内心平和宁静。如果有人对佛道笃信不疑，即使经历离合也不会感到恐惧，即使往世犯下各种罪过，本应在恶道中遭受烧灼之苦，但只要稍微遇到头痛等小病，所有的灾祸都会消除。火不能伤害他们，风不能侵袭他们，国王也不能加害他们。听闻如来名号的人不会是天生的盲人，眼睛不会疼痛失明，不会是聋子或哑巴，听闻佛名的人不会是驼背或跛子。诸龙、鬼神以及阿修罗（Asura，一种好战的神）、饿鬼、𧞣鬼（一种食人鬼）、人和非人等都不能侵犯他们，各种魅、暴鬼、神龙、地祇（土地神）都爱戴他们。假使有人执持诸佛的名号，其功德就是如此，不可称量。’ 佛陀于是作偈颂说： ‘眼睛都能见到诸佛，都能供养他们， 听闻他们所说的法就接受，这些人都会信受欢喜。 宿命中曾经经历过，供养过无数的佛陀， 才能听闻彼佛的名号，'

English version If there are those who hear the Buddha's name, its sound like that of Brahma (the Hindu god of creation), they will abandon the eight difficulties (eight obstacles to practicing the Dharma), prostrate themselves with their five limbs in reverence. They will not obstruct the path of the Buddha, nor will they harbor hatred in their hearts, for those who hear the Buddha's name will not have any hesitation in their minds. If one upholds the most supreme name of the Buddha, diligently practicing day and night for seven days, their eyes will become pure, and they will be able to see countless Buddhas, even without abandoning their physical eyes, they will be able to see pure sights everywhere, seeing countless Buddhas, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River. The Buddha told the youth: 'If Bodhisattvas hear the name of that Buddha, and ordinary people diligently contemplate and remotely take refuge, they will all receive offerings, they will all hear the teachings of the Buddhas in the ten directions, see them with their own eyes, and all believe and rejoice. In their past lives, they have offered to countless Buddhas, and thus they are able to hear the names of the Tathagatas, and they can all remember the places they have traveled, telling them the origins and names of their past lives, as well as the vows they have made, seeing the origins of other sentient beings. They will ultimately achieve Buddhahood, their hearts filled with joy, like the rising sun, forever without dust obscuring it, their vision extremely vast, abandoning the eight difficulties and the matters of strife, their hearts peaceful and tranquil. If there are those who have unwavering faith in the Buddha's path, they will not be afraid even when experiencing separation and reunion, even if they have committed various sins in their past lives, and should have suffered burning torments in the evil realms, but as long as they encounter minor ailments such as headaches, all calamities will be eliminated. Fire cannot harm them, wind cannot invade them, and kings cannot inflict harm upon them. Those who hear the name of the Tathagata will not be born blind, their eyes will not be painful or blind, they will not be deaf or mute, and those who hear the Buddha's name will not be hunchbacked or lame. Dragons, ghosts, asuras (a type of warring god), hungry ghosts, yakshas (a type of man-eating ghost), humans, and non-humans cannot violate them, and all kinds of demons, violent ghosts, divine dragons, and earth deities all love them. If one upholds the names of the Buddhas, their merits are such that they cannot be measured.' The Buddha then spoke in verse: 'Their eyes can see all the Buddhas, and they can all make offerings to them, They accept what they hear, and these people all believe and rejoice. In their past lives, they have experienced, and offered to countless Buddhas, Thus they can hear the name of that Buddha,' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 一切悉识念， 其本之名号， 为众人说之。 复睹他众生， 能究竟佛道， 兴发欢喜心， 弃捐诸八难， 刈去诸诤讼， 所生常闲静。 假使信名者， 世护正真主， 其心不怀结， 雪弃愦闹事。 设犯无择罪， 受殃若干劫， 一时遇头痛， 诸衅永毕除。 不为火所灾， 在风不见中， 彼闻如来名， 王不能加害。 未曾为生盲， 不聋亦不哑， 其奉最胜号， 手脚不缺减。 鬼神揵沓和， 饿鬼厌恶神， 若闻如来称， 人毒咒不行。 诸魅若罗刹， 诸天若干龙， 奉此最胜名， 皆共爱敬之。”

佛复告童子：“假使有闻彼佛名者，疾逮三昧决诸狐疑不着音响，志无所生劳勋亿千。所以然者，闻佛名故。若值佛名坦然无疑，则能奉持越无数劫，其于末世信乐此法功德如是。若闻导师灭度后名，善宣法训执持讲说，若能诵怀于人中尊所演经典，修净致尊备诸佛行，临寿终时其心不乱，寻能睹见亿垓诸佛，闻所说法皆能受持。已自修立开化众生，闻不求短而悉化之令住佛道，其人设奉诸佛名者，为应供养诸佛大圣。并信吾身从佛之教，常自归命，永得解脱不趣地狱。其信佛慧则归吾身，其诽谤者是魔官属，斯在五趣 现代汉语译本 完全知晓一切念头， 其根本的名号，为众人宣说。 又见到其他众生，能够最终成就佛道， 生起欢喜心，舍弃各种八难（指八种难以修行佛法的障碍）， 消除各种争讼，所生之处常常安闲清静。 假设有人信仰佛的名号，世间所护持的正法， 其心中不怀有任何结缚，像雪一样抛弃喧闹之事。 即使犯下无择罪（指不分善恶的罪行），遭受若干劫的报应， 一旦遇到头痛，各种罪过都将永远消除。 不会遭受火灾，在风中也不会被吹散， 他们听到如来的名号，国王也不能加害。 不会是天生的盲人，不聋也不哑， 他们奉持最殊胜的名号，手脚不会残缺。 鬼神、揵沓和（一种音乐神）、饿鬼、厌恶神， 如果听到如来的称谓，人的毒咒将不起作用。 各种魅、罗刹（恶鬼），各种天、龙， 奉持这最殊胜的名号，都会共同爱戴敬重他。 佛陀又告诉童子：‘假设有人听到那位佛的名号，迅速获得三昧（禅定），决断各种狐疑，不执着于声音和形象，心志无所生，功劳亿千。之所以如此，是因为听闻佛的名号的缘故。如果遇到佛的名号，坦然无疑，就能奉持超越无数劫，他们在末世信奉此法的功德就是这样。如果听到导师（佛）灭度后的名号，善于宣讲佛法教诲，执持讲说，如果能够诵持人中尊（佛）所演说的经典，修持清净，达到尊贵，具备诸佛的修行，临终时心不散乱，立刻能够见到亿垓诸佛，听到他们所说的法都能接受并奉持。已经自我修立，开化众生，听到佛法不求速成，而是全部教化他们，让他们安住于佛道，这样的人如果奉持诸佛的名号，就应该接受诸佛大圣的供养。并且相信我（佛）所说的教诲，常常归命于佛，永远得到解脱，不会堕入地狱。他们相信佛的智慧，就是归信于我，那些诽谤佛法的人是魔的眷属，他们将在五趣（地狱、饿鬼、畜生、人、天）中轮回。’
