English version Regarding tastes, discriminations, colors, and forms, cultivate the impure contemplation, not being attached to the five skandhas (form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness), the six entrances (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind), and the twelve ayatanas (sense bases: eye and form, ear and sound, nose and smell, tongue and taste, body and touch, mind and dharma), not praising oneself, without arrogance, regarding all dharmas as Aranya (a quiet place), thinking of all beings as close friends, not holding precepts for fame and gain, constantly practicing meditation without being tired of extensive learning, and not becoming arrogant because of extensive learning; having no doubts about the Dharma, not slandering the Buddha, not disparaging the Dharma, not disrupting the Sangha; always being close to good people and staying away from bad people, delighting in the Buddha's transcendent words, receiving and remembering the six recollections (recollection of the Buddha, Dharma, Sangha, precepts, generosity, and devas), cultivating the five places of liberation (impure contemplation, loving-kindness contemplation, contemplation of dependent origination, contemplation of the elements, and contemplation of breathing), being able to extinguish the nine kinds of anger, and cutting off the eight kinds of laziness; cultivating the eight kinds of diligence, practicing the nine kinds of samadhi; cultivating the eight great awakenings of a great person, accomplishing all kinds of dhyana, liberation, Samadhi (concentration), and Samapatti (attainment), not being moved by any wrong views. Gathering the ears to listen to the Dharma, distinguishing the emptiness of the skandhas, without dwelling on any appearances, fearing birth and death as if facing a drawn sword, regarding the twelve entrances as an empty gathering, regarding the eighteen realms (six senses, six sense objects, and six consciousnesses) as poisonous snakes, generating a sense of tranquility in Nirvana (cessation), contemplating the five desires as thorns, delighting in escaping birth and death without disputes, and teaching sentient beings to cultivate all kinds of merits. One who can do this can attain deep dhyana. ‘Manjusri (name of a Bodhisattva)! If someone cultivates this samadhi, the merits they obtain will never regress. Manjusri! If the three thousand great thousand worlds were ground into dust, and the number of worlds were as many as the number of dust particles, and all the seven treasures were used for giving. What do you think? Is the merit of a person who can give in this way great?’ Manjusri said: ‘Very great, World Honored One!’ The Buddha said: ‘I now tell you, if a good man or good woman merely hears of this samadhi without fear, the merit they obtain is much greater than that person's, let alone having faith to contemplate, practice, uphold, and recite it, let alone widely explaining it to others, let alone cultivating and attaining this samadhi, the amount of their merit I cannot describe. Therefore, Manjusri! Good men and good women should cultivate this samadhi, remember this samadhi, and also widely explain this samadhi to others. Manjusri! When the kalpa is destroyed by fire, if there is a Bodhisattva who holds this samadhi and is forced by the fire, there is no such possibility.’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Neither kings, nor thieves, nor evil spirits can cause him trouble with various kinds of malice, except for those whose evil karma is deep and are destined to receive retribution. 'Furthermore, Manjushri (Bodhisattva's name)! If a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (Great Bodhisattva) upholds this Samadhi (state of meditative consciousness), he will be free from illness, his six senses will be pure, and he will be free from all unexpected troubles.' 'Furthermore, Manjushri! If one upholds this Samadhi, all the Devas (gods) and Nagas (dragons) will protect him; he will be praised by the Devas, and even the Buddhas will constantly praise him; the Devas will always be happy to see him, and even the Buddhas will always be happy to see him.' 'Furthermore, Manjushri! If one receives this Samadhi, he will hear all the Dharma (teachings) that he has not yet heard, and even in his sleep he will dream of attaining this Samadhi. Manjushri! I speak of the merits of this Samadhi, which cannot be exhausted even in one kalpa (aeon), or even beyond one kalpa, for it is boundless. How much more so for a Bodhisattva who can attain this Samadhi!' 'Manjushri! Suppose there is a person who is strong and powerful. If he walks eastward for hundreds of thousands of years, and the same in the south, west, north, above, and below. What do you think? Can someone count the places this person has walked, whether it is one yojana (ancient Indian unit of distance), two yojanas, or even hundreds of thousands of yojanas?' Manjushri said, 'Except for the Buddha's Sarvajna (all-knowing wisdom), and the great wisdom of Sariputra (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples), and the non-retrogressing Bodhisattvas, no one else can count it.' The Buddha told Manjushri, 'If there are good men and good women who fill the places that person has walked with treasures and give them all away as alms, and if there is another person who hears of this Samadhi, and after hearing it rejoices and makes a vow to attain Bodhi (enlightenment) and to gain much learning. Comparing the merit of this rejoicing with the merit of the almsgiving, even a hundredth, a thousandth, or even a hundred millionth part cannot be compared. This person is rejoiced by the Buddhas of the past, and the Buddhas of the present and future also rejoice, and I also rejoice.' Manjushri said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! Yes, yes! The merit and fruit of this Samadhi are truly inconceivable.' The Buddha told Manjushri, 'If a Bodhisattva practices this Samadhi for one day, the merits cultivated by sentient beings in the past, future, and present, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 不及此定百千万分之一。” 佛说此祇夜： “念如来十号， 及以无边德， 如此诸功德， 不可得称量。 珍宝广布施， 如上之所说， 闻定随喜心， 过此不可数。”

尔时文殊师利白佛言：“世尊！诸供养余花，用治众病或消恶毒，其法云何？若供养佛余花、般若波罗蜜花、佛足下花、菩提树花、转法轮处花、塔花、菩萨花、众僧花、佛像花，其法云何？世尊！用此花有几种咒法？世尊！一切诸花云何入佛花中？世尊！用此花法，为有一种、为有多种？此咒为有一种、为有多种？” 佛告文殊师利：“各各花，各各咒，一一花咒一百八遍。 “诵佛花咒曰： ‘南无佛闼写冶莎呵’ “般若波罗蜜花咒曰： ‘那末柯卢履(民旨反)波若波罗蜜多𧜟莎诃’ “佛足花咒曰： ‘那莫波陀制点耽盐莎诃’ “菩提树花咒曰： ‘南无菩提逼力龛岚莎诃’ “转法轮处花咒曰： ‘南无达摩斫柯罗夜莎诃’ “塔花咒曰： ‘那莫逾跛耶莎诃’ “菩萨花咒曰： ‘南无菩提萨埵冶莎诃’ “众僧花咒曰： ‘那莫僧伽冶莎诃’ “佛像花咒曰： ‘那 现代汉语译本： 不及禅定功德的百千万分之一。 佛说此偈颂： ‘忆念如来的十种名号（如来十号，指佛的十种尊称），以及无边的功德， 这样的诸种功德，不可称量。 珍宝广为布施，如上面所说， 听闻禅定随喜的心，超过此布施功德不可计数。’ 这时，文殊师利（Manjushri，菩萨名）问佛说：‘世尊！用剩余的花供养，用来治疗各种疾病或者消除恶毒，其方法是怎样的？如果用剩余的花供养佛、般若波罗蜜（Prajna Paramita，智慧到彼岸）花、佛足下的花、菩提树（Bodhi tree，佛陀悟道之树）花、转法轮处（转法轮处，佛陀初次说法之地）花、塔花、菩萨花、众僧花、佛像花，其方法是怎样的？世尊！用这些花有几种咒法？世尊！一切诸花怎样融入佛花中？世尊！用这些花的方法，是有一种，还是有多种？这些咒语是有一种，还是有多种？’ 佛告诉文殊师利：‘各种花，各有各的咒语，每一种花都要念咒一百零八遍。 ‘诵念佛花咒语说： ‘南无佛闼写冶莎呵’ ‘般若波罗蜜花咒语说： ‘那末柯卢履(民旨反)波若波罗蜜多𧜟莎诃’ ‘佛足花咒语说： ‘那莫波陀制点耽盐莎诃’ ‘菩提树花咒语说： ‘南无菩提逼力龛岚莎诃’ ‘转法轮处花咒语说： ‘南无达摩斫柯罗夜莎诃’ ‘塔花咒语说： ‘那莫逾跛耶莎诃’ ‘菩萨花咒语说： ‘南无菩提萨埵冶莎诃’ ‘众僧花咒语说： ‘那莫僧伽冶莎诃’ ‘佛像花咒语说：

English version: It is not even one in a hundred thousandth part of the merit of this samadhi (Samadhi, a state of meditative consciousness).' The Buddha spoke this Gatha (Gatha, a verse or stanza): 'Recalling the ten titles of the Tathagata (Tathagata, 'one who has thus gone', an epithet of the Buddha), and their boundless virtues, Such merits are immeasurable. Generously giving treasures, as mentioned above, The joy of hearing about samadhi surpasses this immeasurable merit.' At that time, Manjushri (Manjushri, a Bodhisattva) said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! What is the method for using leftover flowers from offerings to cure various diseases or eliminate poisons? If one uses leftover flowers to make offerings to the Buddha, Prajna Paramita (Prajna Paramita, the perfection of wisdom) flowers, flowers at the Buddha's feet, Bodhi tree (Bodhi tree, the tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment) flowers, flowers at the place where the Dharma wheel was turned (the place where the Dharma wheel was turned, the place where the Buddha first taught), stupa flowers, Bodhisattva flowers, Sangha flowers, and Buddha image flowers, what is the method? World Honored One! How many kinds of mantras are there for using these flowers? World Honored One! How do all the flowers merge into the Buddha flower? World Honored One! Is there one method or many methods for using these flowers? Is there one mantra or many mantras for these?' The Buddha told Manjushri: 'Each flower has its own mantra, and each flower should be chanted one hundred and eight times. 'Chant the Buddha flower mantra, saying: 'Namo Buddha Taksyaya Svaha' 'Chant the Prajna Paramita flower mantra, saying: 'Nama Koluri Prajna Paramitaya Svaha' 'Chant the Buddha's feet flower mantra, saying: 'Namo Padha Zhidian Dan Yan Svaha' 'Chant the Bodhi tree flower mantra, saying: 'Namo Bodhi Bili Kanlan Svaha' 'Chant the Dharma wheel turning place flower mantra, saying: 'Namo Dharma Chakraya Svaha' 'Chant the stupa flower mantra, saying: 'Namo Yupaya Svaha' 'Chant the Bodhisattva flower mantra, saying: 'Namo Bodhisattva Yaya Svaha' 'Chant the Sangha flower mantra, saying: 'Namo Sanghaya Svaha' 'Chant the Buddha image flower mantra, saying: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 莫波罗底耶莎诃’ “文殊师利！咒经如是，汝当受持。”
