English version Birth and death rely on the multitude of consciousnesses; there is no true, essential entity. Discern the five skandhas (form, feeling, perception, mental formations, consciousness) in this way, and follow the Tathagata's (Thus Gone One) teachings, Quickly attain dharani (total retention), with no forgetting in the mind. All dharmas (phenomena) are originally pure, empty, and without self, Without contention, without attachment, this comes from the Tathagata's teachings. The Buddha told the youth: 'Going south from here, like the previous analogy, surpassing all those dust particles, and further beyond seventy-two billion hundred thousand 'gai' (an extremely large number) of incalculable Buddha lands, there is a world named 'Various Treasure Brocade'. There is a Buddha there named Tree Root Flower King (Buddha's name), who is now teaching the Dharma. If a son or daughter of good family hears the name of that Buddha, as Tathagata (Thus Gone One), Arhat (Worthy One), Samyaksambuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One), Vidyacharana-sampanna (Perfect in Knowledge and Conduct), Sugata (Well-Gone), Lokavid (Knower of the World), Anuttara-purusa-damya-sarathi (Unsurpassed Trainer of Those Who Can Be Tamed), Shasta deva-manushyanam (Teacher of Gods and Humans), Buddha (Enlightened One), Bhagavan (Blessed One), whose teachings are good in the beginning, middle, and end. If a son or daughter of good family hears the name of that Buddha, without doubt, believing in my eye of the Dharma, then in this very life, they will attain supreme virtue and possess five merits. What are the five? First, they will completely eliminate self-attachment, and in every birth, they will always encounter a Buddha's appearance in the world; second, they will obtain the most honored position, becoming a Chakravartin (Wheel-Turning King); third, they will attain dharani, holding the scriptures, with faith in the hundreds and thousands; fourth, they will achieve the thirty-two marks of a great man, and ultimately attain Buddhahood, with all practices perfected; fifth, they will attain the five supernormal powers, without any obstruction. These are the five merits. There are also five things by which one can attain supernormal powers. What are the five? First, the divine eye, able to see the coarse and fine, large and small, in the ten directions, the shravakas (hearers) and pratyekabuddhas (solitary realizers), both with and without learning, up to the World Honored One and the assembly, all surpassing; second, the divine ear, able to hear the burning and thirst of billions of hell beings and hungry ghosts, the suffering of animals, the peace and happiness of the heavens and the world, both good and bad, and the scriptures spoken by the Buddhas in the ten directions; third, the power of spiritual travel, able to fly throughout the Buddha lands, like the sun appearing in water, though appearing to come and go, there is no actual movement; fourth, the ability to know the minds of all beings, their good and bad, beautiful and ugly thoughts, whether they have intention or not, whether they are defiled or not; fifth, the ability to know past lives, knowing the causes and conditions of oneself and all beings in past lives. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version ‘Without outflows’ (referring to wisdom free from afflictions and attachments), one can know the worldly pleasures and the paths of practice that those with or without intention pursue; the fifth is, one can know one's past lives, and see the events of countless kalpas (eons) of beings, including past, future, and present events, with nothing not understood, and all clearly remembered. The Buddha then spoke in verses: ‘Those who praise the great sage among humans, upon hearing it, will not doubt, and will always be able to understand these principles, thus quickly attaining the five supernormal powers.’ ‘Revering this noble scripture, which is what the Buddha has spoken, such a person will have a dignified appearance, a body like purple gold, and shall become a noble master, a Chakravartin (universal monarch).’ ‘The body will be as strong as a hook and chain, which is a manifestation of merit, capable of establishing dignity, and thus attaining freedom.’ ‘His blessings will flourish, possessing a thousand sons, each brave and heroic, invincible in all directions.’ ‘His appearance will be extraordinary, with auspicious marks, his merits like those of the heavenly emperor.’ ‘If he becomes a king, he will have thousands of concubines, his body like heavenly gold, and his nature the most noble.’ ‘The places where he has lived in the past, and where he will go in the future, those who see this king will never tire of looking, and what he does will not be considered a calamity.’ ‘All the ministers, all the noble and powerful, those who come to see him, will not feel weary or bored.’ ‘Having achieved such great virtue, the devas (gods) will come to submit, and his wishes will be difficult to surpass.’ ‘The people of the world, and the dragon kings, all for the sake of beings, will be skilled in establishing national boundaries, and will be able to re-establish order in the place of the Buddha's path.’ ‘His country will be most stable, prosperous, and equal, and he shall become a natural Buddha of the world.’ ‘All will come to his place, offering the highest respect, and from beginning to end, they will not be lax in their practice of the Buddha's path.’ ‘Those who know the name of the Buddha, how could they harbor doubts? They will love and respect all that is known.’ ‘He is the most excellent in the Dharma, spreading his majestic virtue.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 曜, 咨是尊经, 佛之所说。 惟本前世, 从佛受法, 疾致寂灭, 遵修正行。 但有诸佛, 开导众生, 所行见敬, 众义备足。 其信乐者, 谓是童子, 清净尊豪, 是王财业。 童子谦卑, 承事于佛, 闻斯名者, 第一无疑。”

English version O Radiant one, this is the venerable scripture, spoken by the Buddha. Only those from previous lives, having received the Dharma from the Buddha, can quickly attain tranquility (Nirvana), following the correct practice. Only the Buddhas can guide sentient beings, their actions are worthy of respect, and all the meanings are fully complete. Those who believe and are happy to accept are called youths, they are pure and noble, the wealth of kings. The youths are humble, serving the Buddha, and those who hear this name have no doubt. The Buddha told the youth: ‘To the west, beyond the number of dust particles multiplied by three, and further beyond those lands by twelve Asankhyeya (countless) hundreds of thousands of billions of Gaha (extremely large unit) Buddha lands, there is a world named Victorious Moon Bright, where the Buddha is named King-Making Supernatural Flower Tathagata (Tathagata is one of the titles of the Buddha), the Utmost Truth, Equal and Right Enlightenment, Perfect in Wisdom and Conduct, Well-Gone (Buddha who has reached Nirvana), Knower of the World, Unsurpassed Teacher, Guide of the Dharma, Teacher of Gods and Humans, Buddha, World Honored One, now teaching the Dharma. If a son or daughter of a good family studies the Bodhisattva path (the practice of Mahayana Buddhism), hears the name of that Buddha, does not doubt, and has deep faith in the Buddha's path, in the place where they proclaim, they can attain the Samadhi (meditative state) of Light, and then quickly obtain ten Asankhyeya billions of hundreds of thousands of Gaha (extremely large unit) of various Samadhi methods, entering sixty incalculable billions of hundreds of thousands of Gaha (extremely large unit) of various Dharani methods (methods of remembering and understanding the Dharma), such as the Dharani of the Ocean, the Dharani of the Treasure, and then they will not lose various meditative thoughts and the Dharma. At the end of their lives, they can see with their own eyes ten billion Gaha (extremely large unit) of Buddhas of Right Enlightenment in each of the ten directions, and they can receive and not lose the teachings of the Dharma spoken by the Buddhas of the ten directions, until they achieve Buddhahood, transcending the suffering of the cycle of birth and death for five hundred Kalpas (extremely long unit of time), maintaining this study will not take long, and they will soon achieve the unsurpassed and true path, becoming the most Rightly Enlightened Buddha.’ The Buddha then spoke in verses: ‘Hearing the name of the Honored One among humans (Buddha), who is the protector of the world's sacred wisdom, abandoning the cycle of birth and death, they accumulate the merit of five hundred Kalpas. At the end of their lives, they can see hundreds of billions of Buddhas, all bowing in reverence, asking to receive the Dharma they have heard. The scriptures they have heard, they will not forget for billions of Kalpas, practicing the noble and wonderful practice,’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 悉闻如来名, 所生百千世, 服宝三昧定。 兴发亿功勋, 用闻佛名故, 逮六十亿定, 载数不可计。 因奉导师号, 奉事供养故, 是故诸勇猛, 遵修佛道行。 化无数千人, 建立尊上道, 其晓了佛法, 未曾习尘欲, 喻众生所行, 为造其名号。 其闻此名者, 为一切广说, 未曾堕八难, 易遇诸闲静。 以除诸危厄, 佛今所可说, 其人常自在, 值微妙佛世。 童子设识解, 如如来所明, 闻其名号者, 悉照此众生, 即当以此经, 为他人宣畅。 世正觉若斯, 世护多所救, 其闻斯名者, 调和而启受。 旋为他人说, 彼则护佛法, 其护佛法者, 善宣正道因, 以闻此经典, 为人剖判故。”
