狱。此等众生，应于地狱流转无期，以得闻彼世尊药师琉璃光如来名号故，于地狱处，彼佛威力，如来名号暂得现前，即时舍命，还生人道，正见精进，淳善净心，便能舍家，于如来教中出家学道，渐次修行菩萨诸行。 “复次，曼殊室利！或有众生，以妒忌故，但自称赞，不赞他人。此诸众生，以自高轻他故，于三恶道，无量千岁，受诸苦毒；过无量千岁已，于彼命终，生畜生趣，作牛马驼驴，鞭杖捶击，饥渴逼恼，身负重担，随路而行；若生人道，常居下贱，为人奴婢，受他驱役。若昔人中，闻彼世尊药师琉璃光如来名号者，以此善根，众苦解脱，诸根猛利，聪慧博识，恒求善本，得与良友常相随逐，能断魔罥，破无明㲉，竭烦恼河，解脱一切生老病死，忧悲苦恼。 “复次，曼殊室利！有诸众生，好喜乖离，更相斗讼，此等互起恶心众生，身口及意，恒作诸恶，为欲相损，各各常以无益相加，或告林神、树神、山神、冢神种种别神，杀诸畜生，取其血肉，祭祀一切夜叉、罗刹食血肉者，书怨人字，并作其形，成就种种毒害、咒术、厌魅、蛊道、起尸鬼咒，欲断彼命及坏其身。由闻世尊药师琉璃光如来名号故，此诸恶事不能伤损，皆得互起慈心、益心、无嫌恨心，各各欢悦，更相摄受。 “复 现代汉语译本 这些众生，本应在地狱中无休止地轮回，但因为听闻了世尊药师琉璃光如来的名号，在地狱中，佛的威力和名号短暂地显现，他们便立即舍弃地狱之身，转生为人道，拥有正见，精进修行，心地纯善清净，便能舍弃家庭，在如来的教法中出家修道，逐渐修行菩萨的各种行持。 “再者，曼殊室利（文殊菩萨）！有些众生，因为嫉妒的缘故，只称赞自己，不赞美他人。这些众生，因为自高自大、轻视他人，会在三恶道中，经历无数千年，遭受各种痛苦；经过无数千年后，他们从恶道中死去，转生为畜生，做牛、马、骆驼、驴等，遭受鞭打、捶击，忍受饥渴的折磨，身负重担，在路上行走；如果转生为人，则常常居住在卑贱的地方，做别人的奴婢，受人驱使。如果这些人曾经在人道中听闻过世尊药师琉璃光如来的名号，凭借这个善根，就能解脱各种痛苦，诸根敏锐，聪明博学，恒常追求善法，能够与良善的朋友常常相伴，能够斩断魔网，破除无明之壳，竭尽烦恼之河，解脱一切生老病死、忧愁悲伤的痛苦。 “再者，曼殊室利！有些众生，喜欢乖戾，互相争斗诉讼，这些互相生起恶心的众生，身口意都常常造作各种恶业，为了互相伤害，各自常常用无益的方式加害对方，或者告祭林神、树神、山神、坟墓神等各种不同的神灵，杀害各种畜生，取其血肉，祭祀一切夜叉（能啖鬼）、罗刹（恶鬼）等食血肉的鬼神，书写怨恨人的名字，并制作其形象，施展各种毒害、咒术、厌魅、蛊道、起尸鬼咒，想要断绝对方的性命，破坏对方的身体。由于听闻世尊药师琉璃光如来的名号，这些恶事都不能造成伤害，他们都能互相生起慈悲心、利益心、没有嫌恨的心，各自欢喜，互相摄受。”

English version These beings, who should have been endlessly transmigrating in hell, because they heard the name of the World Honored One, Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Light Tathagata, in the hell realm, the Buddha's power and name briefly appeared, and they immediately abandoned their hellish bodies and were reborn in the human realm, possessing right view, diligently practicing, with pure and virtuous minds, they could renounce their families, leave home in the Tathagata's teachings to study the Way, and gradually cultivate the various practices of a Bodhisattva. “Furthermore, Manjushri! There are some beings who, due to jealousy, only praise themselves and do not praise others. These beings, because of their arrogance and contempt for others, will suffer various torments in the three evil realms for countless thousands of years; after countless thousands of years, they will die from those evil realms and be reborn as animals, such as cows, horses, camels, and donkeys, enduring beatings and whippings, suffering from hunger and thirst, carrying heavy burdens, and walking along the roads; if they are reborn as humans, they will often live in lowly places, serving as slaves and being driven by others. If these people had previously heard the name of the World Honored One, Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Light Tathagata, in the human realm, by virtue of this good root, they can be liberated from all suffering, their faculties will be sharp, they will be intelligent and knowledgeable, constantly seeking good roots, able to be accompanied by good friends, able to cut through the nets of demons, break the shell of ignorance, exhaust the river of afflictions, and be liberated from all birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, and suffering.” “Furthermore, Manjushri! There are some beings who are fond of discord and engage in disputes and lawsuits. These beings, who harbor evil intentions towards each other, constantly commit evil deeds with their bodies, mouths, and minds. In order to harm each other, they often inflict useless harm upon one another, or they may make offerings to forest spirits, tree spirits, mountain spirits, tomb spirits, and various other deities, killing various animals, taking their blood and flesh, and offering them to all Yakshas (flesh-eating ghosts), Rakshasas (evil demons), and other blood-and-flesh-eating spirits. They write the names of those they resent, create their effigies, and employ various poisons, curses, enchantments, sorcery, corpse-raising spells, and other methods to try to end their lives and destroy their bodies. Because they have heard the name of the World Honored One, Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Light Tathagata, these evil deeds cannot harm them, and they will all develop mutual compassion, beneficial intentions, and a lack of resentment, rejoicing with each other and embracing one another.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
