English version The Great Vow: May I, in my future life when I attain Bodhi (Enlightenment), if there are sentient beings afflicted by greed, hatred (anger), and ignorance, whether they are the seven assemblies of ordained or lay people (bhikshus, bhikshunis, shramaneras, shramanerikas, shikshamanas, upasakas, and upasikas), who violate the precepts established by the Tathagata (Buddha), create various evil deeds, and should fall into hell, suffering various painful retributions; if they hear my name and sincerely recite it, by this power, all their evil deeds will be extinguished, all afflictions will be cut off, they will respectfully uphold the precepts, and in body, speech, and mind, they will be able to protect themselves well, never retreating, until they attain Bodhi. 'Manjushri (Manjusri Bodhisattva)! These are the four subtle great vows made by that Buddha, Tathagata (One of Buddha's titles), Arhat (One of Buddha's titles), Samyak-sambuddha (One of Buddha's titles), when practicing the Bodhisattva path. Manjushri! Moreover, the Buddha-land where that Tathagata resides is vast and adorned with purity, the ground is as flat as the palm of a hand, all made of treasures; there is always fragrance, like the wonderful sandalwood (a type of fragrant wood), and rows of fragrant trees are arranged in lines, heavenly wonderful pearl necklaces, mani (jewels) and other treasures hang down everywhere; there are many bathing ponds, adorned with heavenly treasures, filled with fragrant water, possessing all virtues, and on their four sides, wonderful silken banners are hung; the streets are connected in all directions, adorned everywhere; all sentient beings are without various afflictions and sorrowful suffering, and there are no women, mostly dwelling there are Bodhisattvas; excellent and wonderful music plays itself without being struck, expounding the profound and subtle Dharma of the Mahayana, and if there are sentient beings who hear this sound, they will attain irreversible supreme Bodhi.' 'Manjushri! That Buddha Tathagata, by the power of past vows, skillfully accomplished the Buddha-land, perfectly adorned, sitting on the Bodhi seat, thought thus: 'In the future, if there are sentient beings who are entangled by greed, hatred, and ignorance, oppressed by various diseases, taken advantage of by enemies, or die prematurely, and also due to evil karma, fall into hell, suffering great agony.' That Buddha, seeing these suffering sentient beings, in order to eliminate their karmic obstacles, spoke this divine mantra, so that they could receive and uphold it, and in this present life, they would obtain great benefits, be far away from all suffering, and dwell in Bodhi.' Then he spoke the mantra: 'Tadyatha siddhe siddhe susiddhe mocani moksani mukte vimukte am' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

处皆有金砌浴池,香水盈满;宝树行列,花果滋茂;胜妙音乐,不鼓自鸣,譬如西方极乐世界无量寿国功德庄严。   “曼殊室利!彼佛世尊行菩萨道时,发四大愿。云何为四?   “第一大愿:愿我来世得菩提时,若有众生,常为忧苦之所缠逼;若闻我名,至心称念,由是力故,所有忧悲及诸苦恼,悉皆消灭,长寿安隐,乃至菩提。   “第二大愿:愿我来世得菩提时,若有众生,造诸恶业,生在无间黑闇之处,大地狱中受诸苦恼;由彼前身闻我名字,我于尔时,身出光明,照受苦者,由是力故,彼见光时,所有业障悉皆消灭,解脱众苦,生人天中,随意受乐,乃至菩提。   “第三大愿:愿我来世得菩提时,若有众生,造诸恶业,杀盗邪淫,于其现身受刀杖苦,当堕恶趣,设得人身,短寿多病,生贫贱家,衣服饮食,悉皆乏少,常受寒热、饥渴等苦,身无光色,所感眷属,皆不贤良;若闻我名,至心称念,由是力故,随所愿求,饮食、衣服悉皆充足,如彼诸天,身光可爱,得善眷属,乃至菩提。   “第四大愿:愿我来世得菩提时,若有众生,常为药叉诸恶鬼神之所娆乱,夺其精气,受诸苦恼;若闻我名,至心称念,由是力故,诸药叉等悉皆退散,各起慈心,解脱众苦,乃至菩提。 现代汉语译本: 处处都有用金子砌成的浴池,里面充满了香水;一排排的宝树,开满了鲜花,结满了果实;美妙的音乐,不用敲打也能自动发出声音,就像西方极乐世界阿弥陀佛(Amitabha)的无量寿国(Sukhavati)那样,充满了功德和庄严。 ‘曼殊室利(Manjushri,文殊菩萨)!那位佛陀世尊在行菩萨道的时候,发了四个大愿。哪四个呢?’ ‘第一大愿:愿我未来世成佛的时候,如果有众生,经常被忧愁和痛苦所缠绕逼迫;如果听到我的名字,至诚恳切地称念,由于这种力量,所有的忧愁悲伤以及各种苦恼,全部都消灭,长寿安乐,直到成佛。’ ‘第二大愿:愿我未来世成佛的时候,如果有众生,造作各种恶业,生在无间地狱(Avici hell)黑暗的地方,在大地狱中遭受各种苦恼;由于他们前世听到我的名字,我在那个时候,身上发出光明,照耀那些受苦的人,由于这种力量,他们见到光明的时候,所有的业障全部都消灭,解脱各种痛苦,生到人天之中,随意享受快乐,直到成佛。’ ‘第三大愿:愿我未来世成佛的时候,如果有众生,造作各种恶业,杀生、偷盗、邪淫,在他们现世遭受刀杖的痛苦,应当堕入恶道,即使得到人身,也是短命多病,生在贫穷卑贱的家庭,衣服饮食,全部都缺乏,经常遭受寒冷、炎热、饥饿、干渴等痛苦,身体没有光彩,所感召的眷属,都不贤良;如果听到我的名字,至诚恳切地称念,由于这种力量,随着他们所希望的,饮食、衣服全部都充足,像那些天人一样,身体的光芒可爱,得到善良的眷属,直到成佛。’ ‘第四大愿:愿我未来世成佛的时候,如果有众生,经常被药叉(Yaksa,夜叉)等各种恶鬼神所扰乱,夺取他们的精气,遭受各种苦恼;如果听到我的名字,至诚恳切地称念,由于这种力量,各种药叉等全部都退散,各自生起慈悲之心,解脱各种痛苦,直到成佛。’
