English version: Nir said: 'Namo saptanam (Homage to the seven Tathagatas) (1), samyak-sambuddhanam (perfectly enlightened ones) (2), namo sarva (all) vajra (diamond) dharanam (holders of the vajra) (3), tadyatha (thus it is) (4), om vajri (diamond) vajri (5), maha vajri (great diamond) (6), vajra prabhedani (diamond destroyer) (7), sama sama samanta (equal equal universally) (8), apratihata vajri (unobstructed diamond) (9), shama shama (peaceful peaceful) (10), prashamantu (may they be pacified) (11), sarva (all) vyadhaya (diseases) (12), kuru kuru (do do) (13), sarva (all) grahamani (seizers) (14), samaya manusmara bhagavan (remember the vow, O Blessed One) (15), vajra bhani (diamond light) (16), sarva asham me paripura ya svaha (fulfill all my hopes, svaha) (17).' World Honored One, if there are those who uphold the names of the Seven Buddhas, remember the original vows and merits of those Buddhas, and also uphold this mantra, reciting and expounding it, I will ensure that their wishes are fulfilled and they lack nothing. If they wish to see me and inquire about good and evil, they should write out this sutra, create images of the Seven Buddhas, and also create an image of Vajrapani Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva holding the vajra). They should enshrine Buddha relics within the bodies of all the images. In front of these images, as described above, they should make offerings with various incense, flowers, hanging banners and canopies, exquisite food and drink, and various musical instruments, and pay homage by bowing and circumambulating. They should cultivate a compassionate heart towards all beings, observe the eight precepts, bathe three times a day for purification, and change clothes three times a day. From the eighth day of the white moon to the fifteenth day of the following month, they should recite the mantra one hundred and eight times each day, with a focused mind. I will then appear in their dreams, speak with them, and fulfill all their requests. Therefore, as it is said in the sutra, the great sage's wonderful teachings are true, correct, and equal, without change, and he does not abandon his original vows. I only wish to dwell in this incense altar of offerings, receive the offerings, and also wish to compassionately perfect our ritual practice site. And also wish that we all --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: May all sentient beings, as mentioned before, attain the merits and benefits described in the 'Bhaisajyaguru Sutra' (Medicine Buddha Sutra). We earnestly request the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to compassionately embrace and grant their blessings. Furthermore, may the 'Sutra of the Merits of the Fundamental Vows of the Seven Buddhas' and all other scriptures and Dharma treasures endure in the world for a long time, spreading to the ten directions. May the Dharma flourish greatly, increasing benefits and happiness. Moreover, may we who uphold the Dharma, along with all the people in our country and various livestock, be free from all kinds of diseases, plagues, and calamities. May the damage to crops caused by droughts, floods, frost, and hail be averted. May all inauspicious phenomena, such as monstrous anomalies and inauspicious events that afflict sentient beings, be eliminated. May those evil spirits who frequently roam the country, causing harm and various disasters, be subdued through various means, according to their respective needs. These calamities, which we (N.N.) may have incurred due to past karma or present actions, or due to the ancestral lineage of this place, and those spirits who obstruct the life, country, power, freedom, family, resources, people, livestock, and all prosperity of (N.N.) and others, may they all be tamed. May they abandon their resentment and harmful intentions, and with compassionate hearts, dispel all inauspicious events and evil deeds. May they all disappear and vanish. From now on, may these spirits not harbor evil intentions or create obstacles. May they, each in their respective categories, make vows before the holy ones, establish important oaths, abide in Samaya (vow, precept), and always perform good deeds. In this way, we earnestly request the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to compassionately embrace and grant their blessings.

English version Kala Yaksha General (羯罗药叉大将). Next is the offering, etc., to the twelve Yaksha hosts of the auspicious and virtuous Upasaka (优婆塞, male lay devotee). Each great general has seven hundred million Yaksha retinues. They should have compassion for us, who in the past, at the assembly, heard the true voice of the heavens. At the same time, they raised their voices and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, we, today, by the Buddha's power, have heard the names of the Tathagatas such as Bhaisajyaguruvaiduryaprabharaja (药师琉璃光王) and others, and we no longer fear any evil forces. We lead each other, all with one mind, and even to the end of our lives, we take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. We vow to bear the responsibility for all sentient beings, to bring them benefit, enrichment, and peace. Wherever this sutra is circulated and recited, whether in cities, villages, or secluded forests, or if someone upholds the names of the Seven Buddhas and makes offerings with reverence, our retinues will protect these people, freeing them from all difficulties, and fulfilling all their wishes.' At that time, the World Honored One praised the Yaksha generals, saying: 'Excellent! Excellent! Great Yaksha Generals. You remember and repay the kindness of the Seven Buddhas, and you should always benefit and bring peace to all sentient beings in this way.' Just as praised before, may you now lead and subdue all virtuous beings to attend this offering, and with compassionate hearts, receive the offerings, and perfect our rituals and mandala. May all sentient beings, including us, see and obtain the merits and benefits as described in the sutra. May the Buddha have compassion and receive us, may the Buddha have mercy and receive us. May the Sutra of the Fundamental Vows and Merits of the Seven Buddhas (七佛本愿功德经), as well as all sutras and all Dharma treasures, abide in the world for a long time, and circulate in all ten directions. May it flourish greatly, benefiting and bringing peace to all sentient beings. Furthermore, may the Dharma teachings that we uphold, as well as all the people and various livestock within the country, be free from all kinds of diseases, epidemics, and various calamities; may there be no damage to crops from droughts, floods, frost, or hail; may there be no strange anomalies or inauspicious omens; may there be no unlucky events that trouble sentient beings; may evil ghosts and spirits of this kind, who often come and go in the country, causing trouble and various disasters, may these disasters, which we (name) have incurred due to past karma or present actions, or due to the location and ancestral lineage, be related to the life, country, power, freedom, retinues, resources, people, livestock, and all prosperity of (name). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
