English version: The Buddha told all the Buddha's disciples: 'You should listen carefully now.' 'I am now going to speak this mantra, which is endowed with all kinds of merits.' 'When the evil age of the future comes, and my Dharma is about to decline,' 'If someone can protect my Dharma in this time,' 'They will be able to eliminate the evils, poisons, and all kinds of ghosts and spirits in the world,' 'As well as all the heavenly demons and humans, and all kinds of spells.' 'If they hear the name of this mantra, they will all subdue themselves.' 'After I pass into Nirvana and distribute the relics,' 'I will hide my various auspicious marks and transform into this mantra.' 'The Buddha has two kinds of bodies: the true body and the manifested body,' 'If someone can make offerings to this mantra, the merit obtained is no different from making offerings to my true body.' 'This mantra is also like this. If all the gods and humans,' 'Can generate a rare and precious mind, and uphold and make offerings to it,' 'The various merits obtained are no different from making offerings to my true body.' 'The merits of this Mantra King (mantra), I am now only briefly speaking about.' At that time, after the World Honored One spoke this verse, he proclaimed to the assembly the Dharma of the Usnisa-cakravartin-raja (Cakravarin, King of the Wheel, a powerful king or ruler) Tathagata's Crown. It can quickly destroy other dharmas and quickly accomplish one's own dharma. All Bodhisattvas commonly praise it. In the place where this mantra is recited, within five hundred驿(yì, ancient unit of distance) in all four directions, all evil ghosts will scatter on their own. All mantra masters who practice their original dharmas will be destroyed upon hearing this mantra. All the supernatural powers of all the gods will be lost. If the mantra holder wants to destroy another's dharma, they can destroy it; if they do not want to destroy it, they cannot destroy it. Because of the place where the mantra holder dwells, all mantra holders in the world and beyond, as well as all evil stars, will be subdued. If a good man wants to protect the Great Vehicle (Mahayana), or for himself, or to deal with enemies, he should hold a handful of green grass, chant the mantra one hundred and eight times, hate that person in his heart, cut the grass with a knife, thinking of destroying his dharma, and it will be immediately broken. If you want to prevent the other person's mantra from being accomplished, chant the mantra seven times, make a fist with your hand, thinking of that person, and his mantra will not be accomplished. If you want the other person's mantra to be accomplished, open your fist, and it will be restored as before. If you want to perform this dharma, you must first bathe and wear clean clothes, and your own dharma will be accomplished. If you want to protect others from all evil ghosts. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do this three times a day for seven days, and the celestial being will come and become your servant.

English version: At that time, Shakyamuni Buddha again observed the Pure Heaven Palace and said to Manjushri Kumara (Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of wisdom): 'Listen carefully, I will now briefly explain the Dharani of the Cakravartin (Universal Monarch, a righteous ruler) of One Syllable and the method of making his image. To enable sentient beings in the evil age, who are lacking in diligence and wisdom, and unable to uphold the extensive methods of image-making, I will now briefly explain the method of image-making, for the sake of benefiting all sentient beings, and for the sake of quickly obtaining auspiciousness. If you wish to uphold the most supreme Dharma, take new white cotton cloth, one丈 (zhang, approx. 3.3 meters) long and six尺 (chi, approx. 0.33 meters) wide, without broken threads. Do not use glue to mix the colors. The image-maker should bathe in fragrant water, wear new and clean clothes, and observe the Eight Precepts. He should paint the World Honored One (Shakyamuni Buddha) as a Cakravartin, preaching the Dharma. Below the seat of the Lord of all Worlds, paint Brahma (the creator god in Hinduism), the Holy Vajra Bodhisattva (a Bodhisattva embodying indestructible wisdom), and above the Buddha, paint the Devas (gods) raining down flower garlands. Below the seat, paint the Dharma-holder.' At that time, the World Honored One Shakyamuni, again looked at Manjushri Kumara and said: 'Listen carefully, Manjushri Kumara, the great power and virtue of the Cakravartin of One Syllable. I will now explain the abbreviated method of image-making, so that sentient beings in the evil age may obtain peace and happiness. If you wish to perform the Dharma, hold a censer and carefully contemplate the face of the Buddha, with the face of the image facing west. Offer various incense and flowers in front of the image. The Dharma-holder should burn Agarwood incense three times a day, facing the Buddha image, and recite this divine mantra, completing one million recitations before performing the Dharma. The Dharma-holder should observe the precepts and must eat three white foods each time, namely milk, cheese, and粳米 (jīng mǐ, japonica rice). He must not break the fast, and should generate a compassionate mind towards all sentient beings, upholding the Bodhisattva precepts. This person, whatever meritorious deeds he wishes to perform, and whatever illnesses he wishes to cure, will all be fulfilled as desired. He must always make offerings to the Triple Gem (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha). If you wish to accomplish the wheel Dharma, make a wheel of iron, with two hubs. Set up a square altar in front of the Buddha image, from the first day to the fifteenth day of the month, bathe three times a day, burn Agarwood incense, and recite the mantra one million times, always using various flowers as offerings. After the fifteenth day, make another altar, place the iron wheel in the middle, cover it with both hands, and sincerely recite the mantra, and the wheel will manifest a fiery light. At this time, the Dharma-holder will be able to ascend into the sky, and become the lord of the immortals in the bright mantra. If others see it, they will also be able to levitate.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
