English version Ananda, if there are sick people or those facing other calamities who wish to be freed from them, they should observe the Eight Precepts for seven days and seven nights for that person. They should offer food, drink, and other resources, according to their means, to the Buddha and the Sangha. They should respectfully make offerings during the six periods of the day and night, prostrate to the Seven Buddhas Tathagatas, recite this sutra forty-nine times, light forty-nine lamps, and create seven images of those Tathagatas. In front of each image, place seven lamps. The shape of these seven lamps should be round like a wheel, and the light should not be extinguished for forty-nine nights. Create forty-nine banners of various colors, and one long banner of forty-nine feet. Release forty-nine living beings. Great Virtue Ananda, this is the ritual and method of making offerings to the Tathagata. If a Kshatriya (Kshatriya, the second of the four Hindu castes, traditionally warriors or rulers) Abhisheka-raja (Abhiṣeka-rāja, a king crowned through an Abhisheka ritual), etc., encounters calamities, such as epidemics among the people, invasion by other countries, rebellion within their own territory, strange changes in the stars, solar or lunar eclipses, unseasonal wind and rain, or no rain when it is due, these Kshatriya Abhisheka-rajas should, at that time, generate great compassion towards all sentient beings, grant a great amnesty, and liberate those beings who are in dark straits and suffering. Following the previous ritual, make offerings to Bhaisajyaguru (Bhaisajyaguru, Medicine Buddha) Vaiduryaprabharaja Tathagata and all the Tathagatas. Due to this root of goodness and the power of the original vows of those Tathagatas, their country will immediately be secure, the wind and rain will be timely, the crops will ripen, and the beings within the country will be free from disease and happy. Furthermore, there will be no violent and evil Yakshas (Yaksa, a type of guardian spirit) or other spirits who mutually disturb and cause trouble. All evil omens will disappear. These Kshatriya Abhisheka-rajas will all increase in lifespan, complexion, strength, and freedom from disease. Therefore, as it is said in the sutra, the profound and wonderful teachings of the Great Sage are true and equal, without change, and do not abandon the original vows. May the Tathagata reside in this offering altar and receive our offerings, and may the Tathagata reside before the assembly of the Tathagatas, urging and awakening the great vows made in the past, and fulfilling our rituals and mandala. May all sentient beings, before our eyes, obtain the merits and benefits described in the sutra. May you compassionately receive us, may you grant us reception. Homage to Vajrapāṇi Bodhisattva Mahāsattva (Vajrapāṇi Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, a bodhisattva who holds a vajra), homage to Mahābrahmā (Mahābrahmā, a protector deity in Buddhism) the Lord of Heaven Indra (Indra, a protector deity in Buddhism), Dhṛtarāṣṭra (Dhṛtarāṣṭra, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, guardian of the East), Virūḍhaka (Virūḍhaka, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, guardian of the South), Virūpākṣa (Virūpākṣa, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, guardian of the West), Vaiśravaṇa (Vaiśravaṇa, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, guardian of the North), all Upasakas (Upasaka, a lay male follower) and all Dharma Protectors! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 切圣众(如是七遍)。

English version: Chanting to the Holy Assembly (repeat seven times). Next, offer the following: Vajrapani Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Vajrapani Bodhisattva Mahasattva). Mahabrahma (Great Brahma King). Indra (Lord of the Gods). Dhritarashtra (Guardian King of the East). Virudhaka (Guardian King of the South). Virupaksha (Guardian King of the West). Vaishravana (Guardian King of the North). All Upasakas (Lay practitioners). And all the Dharma protectors and holy assembly. In the past, before that assembly, with truthful heavenly words, they reported to the World Honored One: 'We, the great assembly, have all heard the supreme merits of the original vows of the Seven Buddhas, and have seen all the Buddhas personally making offerings to the World Honored One. If in any place there is this scripture and the Dharani method of the Seven Buddhas' names, circulating, making offerings, and even writing it down, we will all, relying on the Buddha's power, immediately go to that place to protect the kings, ministers, cities, villages, men, and women there, preventing them from being troubled by all sufferings and diseases. We will thus repay the Buddhas' kindness, and also prevent them from dying prematurely, and eliminate all conflicts, battles, lawsuits, and enmities. Whatever they wish for will be fulfilled, and they will always have peace, abundant wealth and food, and we will always protect them. World Honored One, we have personally made this vow before the Buddha. If there are men and women of pure faith who remember us, they should recite this mantra.' Then they spoke the mantra: 'Tadyatha (tadyatha) (1) Akuta Makuta Dhara Kuta (akuta makuta dhara kuta) (2) Mama Kukkure (mama kukkure) (3) Haha He (haha he) (4) Mara (mara) (repeated) Mara (mara) (repeated) Mara (mara) (repeated) Mara (mara) (repeated 5) Tsu Tsure (tsu tsure) (6) Tsure Svaha (tsure svaha) (7)' If there are men and women of pure faith who recite the names of the Seven Buddhas and this divine mantra, read, recite, write, and respectfully make offerings, in this life they will all obtain freedom from illness, longevity, freedom from all suffering and affliction, and will not fall into the three evil realms. They will attain non-retrogression up to Bodhi, and will be reborn at will in those Buddha lands, always see the Buddhas, obtain the wisdom of knowing past lives, and be fully endowed with mindfulness, concentration, and total retention. Thus, they made great vows. At that time, Vajrapani Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Vajrapani Bodhisattva Mahasattva) went to that Buddha and said to the World Honored One: 'To protect those who uphold this scripture in the future, so that they will be free from all troubles and have their wishes fulfilled, I will now speak a Dharani.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 尼曰。
