English version: Or for a long time. If the vows and prayers to eliminate disasters are not sincere enough, or if there is negligence in patrolling, then what is sought will not be answered. Those who encounter disasters must diligently and sincerely make vows. On the day of the completion of the Mandala, according to the teachings of the mantra, perform homa (homa, a sacrificial ritual) with ghee, honey, cheese, milk, and wood, and offer food to the gods of the eight directions, as well as to all ghosts and spirits. In addition, in a basin of water, put all kinds of sweet and delicious food, fruits, and sweet and crispy items, etc., all of which must be broken into pieces, recite the 'Feeding the Flaming Mouth' mantra, generate compassion, and bless it three times seven (21 times), or seven times seven (49 times), or one hundred and eight times. Then, offer these foods outside the city or outside the house, pouring them in a clean place, and give them to the nameless and unranked ghosts and spirits to eat. Or divide them and pour them into rivers and long flowing water. If you act according to the teachings in this way, all disasters will be eliminated and extinguished. At that time, Manjushri Bodhisattva (Manjushri Bodhisattva, symbol of wisdom) said to the assembly: 'Since I heard this teaching, I have often expounded it to sentient beings in this way. All Tathagatas (Tathagata, title of the Buddha) should know and bear witness to me.' The Dharma wheel of proclaiming the teachings to eliminate disasters is completed. You heavenly beings should respectfully and obediently follow the Buddha's teachings and practice them. At that time, when the devas heard this sutra being preached, they were all very happy and said in unison: 'We respectfully follow the holy decree, dare not disobey, believe and accept it, perform the rites, and depart.'
