English version: Now, I recall and wholeheartedly take refuge, relying on the Buddha's divine power, to be liberated from all suffering, to have my senses become sharp and keen, to increase wisdom and vast learning, to constantly seek the supreme Dharma, to always encounter virtuous friends, to forever sever the nets of demons, to break through the darkness of ignorance, to exhaust the river of afflictions, and to be liberated from all birth, old age, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, suffering, and distress, until the attainment of Bodhi (enlightenment). 'Furthermore, Manjushri (Manjushri Bodhisattva)! If there are sentient beings who are fond of discord and contention, constantly fighting and litigating, disturbing themselves and others, creating various evil karmas with body, speech, and mind, continually engaging in unprofitable activities, plotting against each other; invoking the spirits of mountains, forests, trees, and tombs, killing various living beings, taking their blood and flesh, and offering them as sacrifices to Yakshas (Yakshas), Rakshasas (Rakshasas), and other spirits, writing down the names of enemies, or making their images, cursing them with evil spells, using witchcraft, poisons, or incantations to raise corpses, in order to cut off their lives and destroy their bodies. If these sentient beings are able to hear the name of the Bhaisajyaguru-vaidurya-prabharaja (Medicine Buddha), all those evil conditions will not be able to harm them, and all mutual interactions will give rise to compassion, benefiting and bringing happiness to others, without any intention of harming or annoying, or any feelings of resentment, and they will always feel joy and contentment with what they possess.' 'Furthermore, Manjushri (Manjushri Bodhisattva)! If there are the four assemblies, Bhikshus (monks), Bhikshunis (nuns), Upasakas (male lay devotees), Upasikas (female lay devotees), and other men and women of pure faith, who are able to uphold the Eight Precepts, either for a year or for three months, observing and learning the precepts, and with this virtuous root, aspire to be born in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, to see Amitabha Buddha (Immeasurable Life Buddha). If they hear the name of the Bhaisajyaguru-vaidurya-prabharaja (Medicine Buddha), at the time of their death, eight Bodhisattvas will come on their supernormal powers to show them the way to go, and they will be spontaneously born in that land amidst various kinds of jeweled lotuses of diverse colors. Or some may be born in the heavens because of this, and even though they are born in the heavens, their past virtuous roots will not be exhausted, and they will not fall into other evil realms again. When their lifespan in the heavens comes to an end, they will be reborn in the human realm, perhaps as a Wheel-Turning King, ruling over the four continents, with majestic virtue and freedom, converting countless hundreds of thousands of sentient beings, causing them to cultivate the Ten Virtuous Paths; or they may be born into Kshatriya (warrior caste), Brahmin (priest caste), householder, or noble families, possessing abundant wealth and treasures, with overflowing storehouses, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Their appearance is dignified and majestic, their family is prosperous and flourishing, they are intelligent and wise, brave and vigorous, and possess great physical strength. If they are women, upon hearing the name of Bhaiṣajyaguru-vaiḍūryaprabhā-tathāgata (Medicine Buddha of Lapis Lazuli Light), and sincerely upholding it, they will not be reborn as a woman in the future. Furthermore, Mañjuśrī! When that Bhaiṣajyaguru-vaiḍūryaprabhā-tathāgata attained Bodhi, by the power of his original vows, he observed all sentient beings, encountering various sicknesses and sufferings, such as emaciation, malaria, wasting away, and yellow fever, or being afflicted by curses and witchcraft, or having short lives, or dying untimely deaths, wishing to eliminate these sicknesses and sufferings, and to fulfill all their desires. At that time, that World-Honored One entered a samādhi (meditative state) called 'Eliminating the Sufferings of All Sentient Beings.' Having entered this samādhi, from his uṣṇīṣa (crown protuberance) he emitted great light, and within that light, he proclaimed a great dhāraṇī mantra, saying: 'Namo bhagavate (Homage to the Bhagavan) bhaiṣajya-guru (Medicine Master) vaiḍūrya-prabhā (Lapis Lazuli Light) rājāya (King) tathāgatāya (Thus Come One) arhate (Worthy One) samyak-saṃbuddhāya (Perfectly Enlightened One) tadyathā (Thus it is) oṃ (Om) bhaiṣajye bhaiṣajye (Medicine! Medicine!) bhaiṣajya-samudgate (Medicine Arisen) svāhā (So be it)' At that time, after this mantra was spoken within the light, the great earth shook, and great light was emitted, and all the sicknesses and sufferings of all sentient beings were eliminated, and they received peace and happiness. Mañjuśrī! If you see men or women who are suffering from sickness, you should wholeheartedly cleanse and bathe that sick person, and with food, medicine, or insect-free water, chant this mantra one hundred and eight times, and give it to the sick person to consume, and all their sicknesses and sufferings will be completely eliminated. If they have any requests, and sincerely recite this mantra, all their wishes will be fulfilled, they will be free from sickness and live long lives, and after their lives end, they will be reborn in that world, and attain non-retrogression, and even attain Bodhi. Therefore, Mañjuśrī! If there are men or women who, with sincere devotion and respect, make offerings to that Bhaiṣajyaguru-vaiḍūryaprabhā-tathāgata, they should always uphold this mantra, and not let it be abandoned or forgotten. Furthermore, Mañjuśrī! If there are men or women of pure faith, who hear the names of all the seven Buddhas, Tathāgatas, Arhats, and Samyaksaṃbuddhas mentioned above, and having heard them, recite and uphold them, and chew on toothpicks in the morning --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
