English version: Furthermore, Manjushri! To the east from here, passing over Buddha-lands as numerous as the sands of nine Ganges rivers, there is a world named 'Well-Dwelling Treasure Ocean'. The Buddha there is named Dharma-ocean Supreme Wisdom Playful Spiritual Power Tathagata (Thus Come One), Worthy of Offerings, Perfectly Enlightened One, now expounding the Dharma. ‘Manjushri! When that Tathagata Buddha was practicing the Bodhisattva path, he made four great vows. What are the four?’ ‘The first great vow: May I, in my future life when I attain Bodhi (Enlightenment), if there are sentient beings who create all kinds of evil karma, engage in planting and cultivating, harming various lives, or engaging in trade, deceiving others, participating in wars, constantly engaging in killing; if they hear my name and sincerely recite it, due to this power, the necessities of life will be fulfilled without seeking, satisfying their desires, constantly cultivating all kinds of good deeds, until they attain Bodhi.’ ‘The second great vow: May I, in my future life when I attain Bodhi, if there are sentient beings who create the ten evil karmas, such as the sin of killing, due to this cause, they should fall into hell; if they hear my name and sincerely recite it, they will achieve all ten virtuous paths, not fall into evil realms, until they attain Bodhi.’ ‘The third great vow: May I, in my future life when I attain Bodhi, if there are sentient beings who are not free, bound by others, or imprisoned, wearing instruments of torture, suffering the pain of whipping, even extreme punishment; if they hear my name and sincerely recite it, due to this power, all calamities will be liberated, until they attain Bodhi.’ ‘The fourth great vow: May I, in my future life when I attain Bodhi, if there are sentient beings who create all kinds of evil karma, do not believe in the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), follow false views, abandon and turn away from the right principle, love and believe in heretical followers, slander and defame the Buddhist scriptures, saying they are not the teachings of the sages, respectfully accept and uphold the scriptures of external paths, doing this themselves and teaching others to do so, together creating confusion, they should fall into hell, with no time of escape, even if they are able to be reborn as humans, they will be born in the eight difficult places, far from the right path, like blind people without the eyes of wisdom; if such people hear my name and sincerely recite it, due to this power, at the time of death, the right thought will appear, liberating them from all calamities, constantly being born in China, enjoying supreme and wonderful happiness, until they attain Bodhi.’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
