English version The Buddha Speaks of the Sutra on Eradicating the Darkness of the Ten Directions Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Dharmarakṣa of the Yuezhi Kingdom of the Western Jin Dynasty Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling at the Nigrodha tree in the Śākya clan's monastery in Kapilavastu, together with a large assembly of great bhikṣus, numbering one thousand two hundred and fifty, and countless bodhisattvas. The Buddha, in the morning, put on his robes, held his bowl, and, surrounded by his bhikṣu retinue, entered the city for alms. At that time, there was a young Śākya boy named Mian Shan Yue, who, having prepared his carriage, was leaving the city in the early morning. From afar, he saw the World Honored One and the holy assembly coming together, and he went to where the Buddha was, got off his carriage, walked forward, bowed at the Buddha's feet, circumambulated him three times to the right, and then stood to one side. At this time, Mian Shan Yue was worried and downcast. The Buddha, knowing his thoughts in advance, asked, 'Young boy, what has caused you to leave the city so early, with such worry in your heart and such a pale face?' Mian Shan Yue said to the Buddha, 'Oh, World Honored One! My parents are now unwell, and they are constantly being harassed by non-humans. They cannot find peace day or night, and they are troubled in their comings and goings. Although I am in a great kingdom, I am facing such difficulties, feeling impoverished and helpless. I am pondering what to do, and I do not know what methods to use. If we encounter bandits or are harmed by non-human demons and evil spirits, I have no way to protect us. I beseech the World Honored One to teach us a method to provide timely aid and to keep us from harm.' The Buddha said to Mian Shan Yue, 'Listen carefully! Receive it carefully! Keep it well in mind, and I will tell you the method of protection.' At that time, the young Śākya boy received the teaching and listened attentively. The Buddha said, 'Going east from here, passing through eight thousand nasu Buddha lands, there is a world called Ba Zhong Chen Lao. The Buddha there is named Deng Xing Tathagata, Zhi Zhen, and Deng Zheng Jue, and he is now expounding the Dharma. If a person goes east, they should first bow and take refuge in and make offerings to' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Towards the Buddha in the East, there will be no fear, and no one will dare to intrude. Whatever one desires, whatever one undertakes, will be fulfilled as wished, one's will will not be confused, and whatever one thinks in the heart will be accomplished. The Buddha then spoke in verse: 'First, take refuge in the Most Righteous Enlightenment (referring to the Buddha's highest enlightenment), equal to the Great Sage, then walk towards the East, and then there will be no fear.' The Buddha told the youth: 'South of here, beyond ten billion hundred thousand Buddha lands, there is a world named 'Eliminating Darkness and Achieving Liberation' (meaning eliminating confusion and achieving liberation), where the Buddha is named 'Initially Aspiring to Abandon Fear and Return to the Supreme Leader Tathagata' (meaning initially aspiring to abandon fear and take refuge in the Buddha who transcends all), 'The Truthful One', 'The Perfectly Enlightened One', who is now teaching the Dharma. If you wish to go south, you should bow in reverence to that Buddha from afar, then set forth, with one-pointed concentration, your mind not leaving the Buddha, and then there will be no fear, and you will not encounter difficulties.' The Buddha then spoke in verse: 'Having abandoned all thoughts, the youth should cultivate this, if you walk towards the South, you will no longer encounter fear.' The Buddha told the youth: 'West of here, as many Buddha lands as the sands of the Ganges River, there is a world named 'Good Choice' (meaning good at choosing), where the Buddha is named 'Vajra-Stepped Tathagata' (meaning the Buddha who is as firm as Vajra), 'The Truthful One', 'The Perfectly Enlightened One', who is now teaching the Dharma. If you wish to go west, you should first speak and contemplate, the Dharma of original purity (meaning the Dharma that is originally pure) is forever without seeing, without arising and without ceasing, it is tranquil and pure, you should first bow in reverence to that Buddha, with one-pointed devotion, then set forth, and then there will be no fear, and you will not encounter difficulties.' The Buddha then spoke in verse: 'All dharmas have no arising, nor do they have ceasing, one who understands this, will be without fear.' The Buddha told the youth: 'North of here, beyond twenty thousand Buddha lands, there is a world named 'Awakened Eloquence' (meaning awakening and eloquence), where the Buddha is named 'Jewel Wisdom Leader Tathagata' (meaning the Buddha with precious wisdom), 'The Truthful One', 'The Perfectly Enlightened One', who is now teaching the Dharma. If you wish to go north, even if you are a householder, bow in reverence to that Buddha, then set forth, and then there will be no fear, and you will not encounter difficulties.' The Buddha then spoke in verse: 'If one is at home, doing all kinds of household work,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  所有赍北行,  则无所畏惧。”

佛告童子:“东北方去此,过于百万亿佛土,有世界名持所念,其佛号坏魔慢独步如来、至真、等正觉,今现在说经法。又彼如来诣佛树下,适一心坐,化于三千大千世界诸魔官属及诸魔天,悉劝立之于不退转,当成无上正真之道。是为如来诣树下时之所感动。若诣东北方,当遥稽首归命彼佛,然后乃进,所在获安,则无所畏。”   佛时颂曰: “始从初发意,  则降伏魔兵,  心常念此佛,  寻便无恐惧。”   佛告童子:“东南方去此,过二恒河沙等佛土,有世界名常照曜,其佛号初发心不退转轮成首如来、至真、等正觉,今现在说经法。其如来本为菩萨时,常兴众行不退转轮义,布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定不乱、成就智慧,是为如来本为菩萨时之所感动。若东南行,先当稽首五体投地,一心归命,然后乃进,则无恐惧。”   佛时颂曰: “先五体作礼,  然后乃出家,  在欲所至到,  则不逢贼害。”   佛告童子:“西南方去此,过于八万佛土,有世界名覆白交露,其佛号宝盖照空如来、至真、等正觉,今现在说经法。若西南行,先当稽首彼方如来,以华遥散念于无相,然后乃进,则无恐惧。”   佛时颂曰: 现代汉语译本 ‘所有携带(佛像或经文)向北方行走的人,就不会有所畏惧。’ 佛陀告诉童子:‘从这里向东北方走,经过超过百万亿个佛土,有一个世界名为持所念(意为保持所思念的),那里的佛号为坏魔慢独步如来(意为能摧毁魔的骄慢,独一无二的如来)、至真(意为达到真理的)、等正觉(意为平等正觉的),现在正在说法。而且那位如来在菩提树下,刚一入定,就感化了三千大千世界的所有魔王及其眷属和诸魔天,劝他们都安住于不退转的境界,最终成就无上正真的道。这就是如来在菩提树下所产生的感应。如果向东北方行走,应当先遥向那位佛陀稽首归命,然后再前进,所到之处都会平安,不会有所畏惧。’ 佛陀当时说了偈颂: ‘从最初发心时,就降伏了魔兵,心中常念这位佛,立刻就没有恐惧。’ 佛陀告诉童子:‘从这里向东南方走,经过两个恒河沙数般的佛土,有一个世界名为常照曜(意为常放光明的),那里的佛号为初发心不退转轮成首如来(意为初发心就永不退转,成就圆满的如来)、至真、等正觉,现在正在说法。那位如来在过去作为菩萨时,常常发起各种不退转的修行,布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定不乱、成就智慧,这就是如来在过去作为菩萨时所产生的感应。如果向东南方行走,应当先五体投地稽首,一心归命,然后再前进,就不会有恐惧。’ 佛陀当时说了偈颂: ‘先五体投地作礼,然后再出发,在所欲到达的地方,就不会遇到贼害。’ 佛陀告诉童子:‘从这里向西南方走,经过超过八万个佛土,有一个世界名为覆白交露(意为覆盖着白色露水的),那里的佛号为宝盖照空如来(意为以宝盖照耀虚空的如来)、至真、等正觉,现在正在说法。如果向西南方行走,应当先向那个方向的如来稽首,遥散鲜花,心中念着无相,然后再前进,就不会有恐惧。’ 佛陀当时说了偈颂:
