t19n0920 buddha heart sutra.g2.0f

English

English version The thumbs are held together upright and twisted. The index fingers of both hands press on the upper joints of the ring fingers. If good men or good women wish to hold this mudra (hand gesture), they should first, in the morning, sincerely recite the names of the Buddhas of the three times (past, present, and future Buddhas), face the ten directions, and recite the Three Refuges (refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha). They should cleanse their hands and rinse their mouths, then form this mudra and close their minds in prayer. The words of the Buddhas of the ten directions will naturally be understood in their hearts. By contemplating each one, they will realize the minds of the Buddhas. The voices of the Buddhas will emanate from them. Once the voices are emitted, all Dharani (mantra) methods in the ten directions, all Dharani deities, and hundreds of millions of Vajra-garbha Kings (guardian deities), hundreds of millions of Bodhisattva Mahasattvas (great Bodhisattvas) in various worlds, and the Dharani treasuries of the Buddhas, the Dragon treasuries (treasures guarded by dragons), the Sun treasuries (treasures guarded by the sun god), the Moon treasuries (treasures guarded by the moon god), the Earth treasuries (treasures guarded by the Earth deity), the Asura treasuries (treasures guarded by Asuras), hidden treasures, jewel treasuries, secret treasuries of the Buddhas, and even all the compassionate treasuries of the Buddhas, will naturally be developed and appear before them like clouds, jade rain, and flowers, pervading the ten directions. All Dharani treasuries will be immediately understood. Once understood, all Dharani methods can be used without hindrance. If good men or women wish to practice this method, they must burn sandalwood, frankincense, benzoin, and other incense. They must wear clean clothes. The vow they should make is: 'Today, I practice this mudra method for the sake of all sentient beings.' After making this vow, they should form this mudra and recite it one hundred and eight times. Then, all the Buddhas will transform into hundreds of millions of deities, each with weapons and entourages surrounding the mantra practitioner, along with hundreds of millions of divine armies, hundreds of millions of demon armies, hundreds of millions of celestial beings, and all the spirits of water, fire, and wind (water deities, fire deities, wind deities), and all kinds of spirits and monsters will gather. Once they have gathered, they will ask, 'What do you wish to do? I will not oppose you, and I will do what I can.' One can obtain the desired seven treasures, a thousand sons, invisibility techniques, and the ability to rule the four continents (to govern the world with benevolence and morality) with great power. Wherever one goes, things will naturally be subdued. If there are those who do not obey, point at them with the mudra. At that moment, soldiers will be transformed from the mudra, holding flames that illuminate the ten directions. Each soldier will be a thousand feet tall, with equal length and width. A Chakravartin King (a universal ruler with a wheel-turning treasure) using this mudra in the four continents (referring to the entire world) to obtain the Dharma treasury, holding the mudra in his heart, will immediately have the Dharani King (a guardian deity protecting the Dharani) explain the essential Dharma, which will naturally be understood. If one wants to subdue evil beasts, point at them with the mudra. At that moment, from the mudra... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

有五师子现。恶兽自然弭伏。如来昔于摩诃陀罗国降护财狂象用此契力。若欲移动山岳结此契咒一千遍。以契指山三遍指地三遍。于时地藏及金刚际。遍其山下涌出。金刚掷着他方。一切众生无觉知者。如来放光动地当用此契。若有灾疫流行恶风暴雨难禁制者。当结此契咒经七遍。轮转三匝灾疫停息。若有持一切陀罗尼久用功。夫不得效者当结此契在于顶上。得至最胜其力即成更无拥滞。善男子等。如来神力从此而生。如来契法住此而出。过去诸佛所有契集法藏从此集。诸佛所摄菩萨金刚神力。及诸天仙一切外道能为伏事者。皆以此契摄持。若一切法有诸众生不决了者。亦结此契指此人心自然了达。诸佛菩萨金刚所行神通。人不知者皆用此契。善男子各见所有一切陀罗尼。自证功力动大千界。不得此契能了知者无有是处。如我此契纵持诸法多有犯触。但得此契不惧犯触亦无退散。一切诸圣上及诸佛。下至种种隐形种种幻化常来供养。常持此契所有福力共诸佛等若修无上菩提之人。当持用有力。诸余贪诈小心勿妄宣传。纵传无效即起谤法。善男子当知此契是诸佛之身。能摄诸法自宣通故。善男子当知此契以如来身。能摄诸圣来作辅故。善男子当知此契如来心。摄诸藏门在意中故。善男子当知此契如来身。能摄一切菩萨金 现代汉语译本 有五师子出现,凶恶的野兽自然会消失匿迹。如来过去在摩诃陀罗国(Magadha,古印度王国)降伏护财狂象时,就是运用了这个手印的力量。如果想要移动山岳,结此手印并持咒一千遍,用手印指向山三遍,再指向地三遍。这时,地藏菩萨及金刚力士,会遍布山下涌出,金刚力士会将山掷到其他地方,一切众生都不会察觉。如来放光、震动大地时,应当使用这个手印。如果发生灾疫流行、恶风暴雨难以控制的情况,应当结此手印并持咒七遍,轮转三圈,灾疫就会停止。 如果有人持诵一切陀罗尼很久,却始终没有效果,应当结此手印放在头顶上,就能达到最殊胜的境界,其力量立刻成就,不再有阻碍。善男子们,如来的神力就是从此而生,如来的手印法门也由此而出。过去诸佛所有的手印和法藏都由此汇集。诸佛所摄受的菩萨、金刚神力,以及诸天仙人、一切外道,能够为佛所用者,都是以此手印摄持。如果一切法中有众生不能决断了悟的,也结此手印指向此人,其内心自然就能通达明了。诸佛菩萨金刚所行的神通,人们不了解的,都可以用这个手印。 善男子,各自见到所有一切陀罗尼,亲自验证其功力,可以震动大千世界。如果没有这个手印,想要了解这些是不可能的。就像我的这个手印,即使持诵诸法时多有违犯,只要得到这个手印,就不必害怕违犯,也不会退失散乱。一切诸圣以及诸佛,下至种种隐形、种种幻化,都会常来供养。常持此手印所获得的福力,与诸佛相等。如果修无上菩提的人,应当持有并善用其力量。其余贪婪狡诈、心胸狭小的人,不要随意传授,如果随意传授而无效,就会引起诽谤佛法。 善男子,应当知道这个手印是诸佛之身,能够摄持诸法,自然宣通。善男子,应当知道这个手印以如来之身,能够摄受诸圣前来辅助。善男子,应当知道这个手印是如来的心,摄持一切藏门,在于意念之中。善男子,应当知道这个手印是如来之身,能够摄持一切菩萨金刚。

English version There appear five lions, and evil beasts will naturally be subdued. In the past, when the Tathagata subdued the mad elephant of Protecting Wealth in the country of Magadha (Magadha, an ancient Indian kingdom), he used the power of this mudra. If you wish to move mountains, form this mudra and recite the mantra one thousand times. Point the mudra at the mountain three times and then at the ground three times. At that time, Ksitigarbha (Earth Treasury Bodhisattva) and Vajra (Diamond) beings will emerge from beneath the mountain. The Vajra beings will hurl the mountain to another place, without any sentient beings being aware of it. When the Tathagata emits light and shakes the earth, this mudra should be used. If there is an epidemic or uncontrollable violent winds and rain, form this mudra and recite the mantra seven times, rotating it three times, and the epidemic will cease. If someone has been reciting all Dharanis for a long time but has not achieved any results, they should form this mudra and place it on the top of their head. They will then reach the most supreme state, and its power will be immediately realized without any further obstacles. Good men, the Tathagata's divine power arises from this, and the Tathagata's mudra Dharma comes forth from this. All the mudras and Dharma treasures of the Buddhas of the past are gathered here. The Bodhisattvas, Vajra divine powers, and all the celestial beings and externalists who are subdued by the Buddhas are all held by this mudra. If there are sentient beings who cannot resolve or understand all Dharmas, form this mudra and point it at their heart, and their minds will naturally become clear and understanding. The supernatural powers performed by the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Vajras, which people do not understand, can all be understood by using this mudra. Good men, each of you should see all the Dharanis, personally verify their power, and shake the great thousand world. Without this mudra, it is impossible to understand these things. Just like my mudra, even if there are many transgressions in reciting the Dharmas, as long as you obtain this mudra, you do not need to fear transgressions, and you will not retreat or scatter. All the saints and Buddhas, down to various invisible forms and illusions, will always come to make offerings. The merit and power gained from constantly holding this mudra are equal to those of the Buddhas. If someone is cultivating unsurpassed Bodhi, they should hold and use its power effectively. Do not casually transmit it to those who are greedy, deceitful, and narrow-minded. If you transmit it casually and it is ineffective, it will give rise to slander of the Dharma. Good men, you should know that this mudra is the body of all the Buddhas, capable of holding all Dharmas and naturally communicating them. Good men, you should know that this mudra, with the body of the Tathagata, is capable of receiving all the saints to come and assist. Good men, you should know that this mudra is the heart of the Tathagata, holding all the treasure doors, within the mind. Good men, you should know that this mudra is the body of the Tathagata, capable of holding all the Bodhisattvas and Vajras. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
