English version To obtain a pure, supremely wonderful body. Wherever one is born, one will remember and not forget. From one Buddha-land to another Buddha-land, from one heaven to another heaven, even traversing the Thirty-three Heavens (one of the six heavens of the desire realm in Buddhist cosmology), one will remember and not forget wherever one is born. Furthermore, O Lord of the Gods (Śakra, a protector deity in Buddhism), if a person is about to die and momentarily remembers this Dharani (a mnemonic device, a mantra), he will also gain increased lifespan, purity of body, speech, and mind, and will be without suffering. According to his blessings, he will receive peace and security, and will also be watched over by all the Tathagatas (Buddhas). All the gods will constantly be his attendants, he will be respected by people, evil obstacles will be eliminated, and all the Bodhisattvas will jointly protect him. If there are men and women who momentarily recite and uphold this Dharani, know that all the sufferings of the three evil paths (hell, hungry ghosts, animals) will be destroyed and eliminated, with nothing remaining. The pure lands of all the Buddhas and the palaces of all the heavens, the profound practices and vows of all the Bodhisattvas, one can freely enter into them without any obstacles. At this time, Śakra listened with wholehearted joy. At that time, the Bhagavan (Buddha), observing the thoughts in Śakra's mind, spoke this Dharani Dharma with great compassion, and then spoke the mantra: Namo Bhagavate Tri-lokya Prati-visistaya Buddhaya Bhagavate Tadyatha Om Visuddhaya Sama-samanta Abha-vasa Spharana-gati Gahana Svabhava Visuddhe Abhisincatu Mam Sugata Vara Vachana Amrita Abhisheke Ahara Ahara Ayuh Sandharani Suddhaya Suddhaya Gagana Visuddhe Usnisa Vijaya Visuddhe Sahasra-rasmi Samchodi Te Sarva Tathagata Adhisthana Adhisthite Bodhi-dhri Vajra-kaya Samghatana Visuddhe Sarva Avarana Visuddhe Prati-nivartaya Ayuh Suddhe Samaya Adhisthite --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Therefore, the Sanskrit version has been carefully examined and revised in detail). At that time, the World Honored One (Sakyamuni Buddha), having spoken this Dharani, said to Di Shi (Lord of Trayastrimsa Heaven): 'This Dharani seal is named the Pure Removal of All Evil Destinies Buddha-Top Victory Dharani Dharma. It can also eliminate all karmic obstacles and purify all the suffering of the impure and evil paths. Heavenly Lord, this Dharani is jointly proclaimed and joyfully upheld by eighty-eight Ganges sand kotis hundreds of thousands of Buddhas. It is sealed with the wisdom seal of Mahavairocana Tathagata (Vairocana Buddha) in order to break the net of the three evil destinies of all sentient beings, to liberate all sentient beings in hell, as animals, and in the realm of King Yama, to liberate sentient beings oppressed by suffering and fallen into the sea of birth and death, and to benefit sentient beings who are short-lived, have little merit, have no protection, and enjoy creating defiled and evil karma. This Dharani has the power to abide in Jambudvipa (the world we live in), and it can also benefit those sentient beings with wrong views, disbelief in good and evil, various transmigrations in the three evil destinies, suffering from the pain of birth and death, little merit, and those who have lost their way, so that all of them can be liberated from the heavy burden of suffering.' The Buddha told Di Shi: 'I will now proclaim this Dharani and entrust it to you. You should give it to the Good Abiding Heavenly Son, so that he may uphold, recite, contemplate, love, respect, make offerings, and remember it.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

持莫忘。亦令赡部洲中一切有情。广宣流布此陀罗尼利益无量。亦为一切诸天子等。说此大陀罗尼印付嘱于汝。天帝汝当正意忆持。勤加守护勿令忘失。 复次天帝。若复有人须臾得闻此陀罗尼。千劫已来积集重障恶业之罪。应受种种生死流转。地狱饿鬼傍生琰摩王界。阿苏罗身药叉鬼神。布单那羯吒布单那阿波娑摩啰。蚊虻龟狗蟒蛇等身。一切诸鸟及诸猛兽。一切有情乃至蚁子之身。更不重受便得转生。诸佛世尊一生补处菩萨同会一处。或得大姓婆罗门家生。或生刹帝利种及以豪贵最胜家生。天帝此人身等。如上胜处生者。皆由闻此陀罗尼故。随所生处皆得清净胜妙之身。天帝如是果报乃至菩提最胜之处。皆由赞叹此陀罗尼殊胜功德。 天帝此陀罗尼名为吉祥。何以故能除一切三恶道故。此佛顶尊胜陀罗尼。犹如日藏摩尼之宝。净无瑕翳犹若虚空。光焰照彻无不周遍。若诸有情净心持此陀罗尼者亦复如是。如善好金明净柔软令人喜见。不为秽恶之所染着。亦如莲华飞尘不染。天帝持此陀罗尼者亦复如是。乘此净业必生善趣。天帝此陀罗尼随所方处。若能如是书写受持。听闻赞诵恭敬供养者。一切恶道皆得清净。诸地狱苦速能消灭。 天帝若有男子女人。书写此陀罗尼安高幢上。或安高山或置楼台 现代汉语译本:不要忘记。也让赡部洲(Jambudvipa,指我们所居住的这个世界)中一切有情众生,广泛宣扬流布此陀罗尼,利益无量。也为一切诸天子等,说此大陀罗尼印,交付嘱托于你。天帝(Deva,指帝释天),你应当正意忆持,勤加守护,不要令其忘失。 再次,天帝,如果有人须臾之间得闻此陀罗尼,千劫以来积集的深重业障和罪过,本应承受种种生死流转,如地狱、饿鬼、傍生(动物)、琰摩王界(阎罗王统治的区域)、阿苏罗(Asura,意为非天,一种神道生物)之身,以及药叉(Yaksa,一种鬼神)、鬼神、布单那(Putana,一种恶鬼)、羯吒布单那(Kataputana,一种恶鬼)、阿波娑摩啰(Apasamara,一种癫痫鬼),蚊虻、乌龟、狗、蟒蛇等身,一切诸鸟及诸猛兽,一切有情乃至蚂蚁之身,将不再重复承受,便可得以转生,与诸佛世尊和一生补处菩萨(Ekajatipratibaddha-bodhisattva,指下一生成佛的菩萨)同会一处,或者得生于大姓婆罗门(Brahmana,印度教祭司)家,或生于刹帝利(Ksatriya,印度教的武士阶层)种姓,以及豪贵最胜之家。天帝,此人身等,如以上殊胜之处所生者,皆由于听闻此陀罗尼的缘故。随其所生之处,皆能得到清净殊胜之身。天帝,这样的果报,乃至菩提(Bodhi,觉悟)最殊胜之处,皆由于赞叹此陀罗尼殊胜功德。 天帝,此陀罗尼名为吉祥。因为什么呢?因为它能去除一切三恶道(地狱、饿鬼、畜生)的苦难。此佛顶尊胜陀罗尼,犹如日藏摩尼之宝(Suryagarbha-mani,一种珍贵的宝珠),清净无瑕,犹如虚空,光焰照彻,无不周遍。如果诸位有情以清净心持诵此陀罗尼,也是如此。如美好的黄金,明净柔软,令人喜见,不为污秽所染着。也如莲花,不为飞尘所染。天帝,持诵此陀罗尼的人也是如此,凭借此清净之业,必定往生善趣。天帝,此陀罗尼无论在何方何处,若能如此书写、受持、听闻、赞诵、恭敬供养,一切恶道都能得到清净,诸地狱的苦难迅速能够消灭。 天帝,若有男子女人,书写此陀罗尼,安放在高高的幢上,或安放在高山上,或安置在楼台中。

English version: Do not forget. Also, let all sentient beings in Jambudvipa (the world we live in) widely proclaim and spread this Dharani, the benefits of which are immeasurable. Also, for all the sons of gods, I speak this great Dharani seal and entrust it to you. Deva (referring to Indra, the lord of gods), you should remember it with a correct mind, diligently protect it, and do not let it be forgotten. Furthermore, Deva, if someone hears this Dharani even for a moment, the accumulated heavy obstacles and sins from thousands of kalpas (aeons), which should cause them to undergo various cycles of birth and death, such as in hells, as hungry ghosts, as animals, in the realm of Yama (the king of the underworld), in the bodies of Asuras (demi-gods), as Yakshas (a type of spirit), ghosts, Putanas (a type of evil spirit), Kataputanas (another type of evil spirit), Apasamaras (a type of epileptic demon), mosquitoes, turtles, dogs, pythons, all kinds of birds and fierce beasts, all sentient beings, even the body of an ant, they will not have to undergo these again, and they will be able to be reborn in the same place as the Buddhas and the Bodhisattvas who are in their last life before Buddhahood, or be born into a high-caste Brahmin (priest) family, or be born into the Kshatriya (warrior) caste, or into the most noble and wealthy family. Deva, these people, born in such excellent places as mentioned above, are all due to hearing this Dharani. Wherever they are born, they will obtain a pure and excellent body. Deva, such rewards, even up to the most excellent place of Bodhi (enlightenment), are all due to praising the supreme merits of this Dharani. Deva, this Dharani is called auspicious. Why? Because it can remove all the sufferings of the three evil paths (hell, hungry ghosts, animals). This Ushnisha Vijaya Dharani (Victorious Buddha-crown Dharani) is like the Suryagarbha-mani jewel (a precious gem), pure and without blemish, like the void, its light shines through, without not being all-pervasive. If sentient beings hold this Dharani with a pure mind, it is also like this. Like fine gold, bright, clean, soft, and pleasing to see, not defiled by filth. It is also like a lotus flower, not stained by dust. Deva, those who hold this Dharani are also like this, relying on this pure karma, they will surely be reborn in good realms. Deva, wherever this Dharani is, if one can write, receive, hold, listen to, recite, respectfully venerate, and make offerings to it, all evil paths will be purified, and the sufferings of all hells will be quickly extinguished. Deva, if there are men and women who write this Dharani and place it on a high banner, or place it on a high mountain, or place it in a tower. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

。乃至安置窣堵波中。天帝若有苾刍苾刍尼邬波索迦邬波斯迦族姓男女。于前幢等或时遥见。或与相近其影映身。或复风吹陀罗尼等。幢上轻尘落在身者。天帝彼诸众生所有罪业。应堕恶趣地狱饿鬼傍生。琰摩王界阿苏罗身。众恶之苦皆悉不受。亦复不为罪垢染污。天帝此等有情一切诸佛之所授记。皆得不退转于阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。天帝何况更以种种华鬘涂香末香。幢幡花盖衣服璎珞。作诸妓乐种种庄严。于四衢道造窣堵波。安置陀罗尼合掌恭敬。旋绕周行归命礼拜。天帝彼人能如是供养者。名曰摩诃萨埵。真是佛子持法栋梁。又是如来全身舍利窣堵波塔。尔时琰摩法王于夜初分来诣佛所。以种种妙衣种种华香。涂香末香栴檀沉水。恭敬供养绕佛七匝。礼双足已而作是言。我闻如来演说大力陀罗尼法。赞持功德不可思议。世尊大慈怜慜利益罪苦众生。世尊我常随逐守护。不令持者堕于地狱。由彼随顺如来言教而护念之。 尔时护世四大天王。绕佛三匝在一面立。白佛言世尊。唯愿如来重为我等。广说陀罗尼法。尔时世尊告四大天王曰。汝等谛听我当为汝。演说持此陀罗尼法。亦为短命诸有情说。若欲受持当净洗浴着新净衣。始从白月一日乃至圆满十五日时。斋戒一心诵陀罗尼满其千遍。令短命者命还增续永离 现代汉语译本:甚至安置在窣堵波(Stupa,塔)中。天帝(帝释天),如果有比丘、比丘尼、邬波索迦(Upasaka,近事男)、邬波斯迦(Upasika,近事女),以及任何姓氏的男女,在幢(经幡)前,或者遥远看见,或者靠近时身影映照在身上,或者风吹动陀罗尼(Dharani,真言)等,幢上的轻尘落在身上的人,天帝,这些众生所有的罪业,本应堕入恶趣(不好的去处),如地狱、饿鬼、傍生(畜生),以及琰摩王(Yama,阎罗王)界、阿苏罗(Asura,阿修罗)身,所有恶的痛苦都不会承受,也不会被罪恶所染污。天帝,这些有情众生都会被一切诸佛授记,都将不会从阿耨多罗三藐三菩提(Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,无上正等正觉)中退转。天帝,更何况用种种华鬘(花环)、涂香、末香(磨成粉末的香),幢幡、花盖、衣服、璎珞(装饰品),制作各种音乐,种种庄严,在四通八达的道路上建造窣堵波,安置陀罗尼,合掌恭敬,绕塔行走,归命礼拜。天帝,这样供养的人,被称为摩诃萨埵(Mahasattva,大菩萨),真是佛子,是佛法的栋梁,又是如来全身舍利(Sarira,遗骨)的窣堵波塔。 这时,琰摩法王(Yama,阎罗王)在夜晚的最初时分来到佛陀处所,用种种美妙的衣服、种种华香、涂香、末香、栴檀(Sandalwood)、沉水香,恭敬供养,绕佛七圈,礼拜双足后说道:‘我听闻如来演说大力陀罗尼法,赞叹受持的功德不可思议。世尊大慈大悲,怜悯利益受罪受苦的众生。世尊,我常常跟随守护,不让受持陀罗尼的人堕入地狱,因为他们随顺如来的教导而受到我的护念。’ 这时,护世四大天王(Four Heavenly Kings)绕佛三圈,站在一面,对佛说:‘世尊,希望如来再次为我们广说陀罗尼法。’这时,世尊告诉四大天王说:‘你们仔细听,我将为你们演说受持此陀罗尼法,也为短命的众生说。如果想要受持,应当干净洗浴,穿上新的干净衣服,从白月(新月)的第一天开始,直到圆满的第十五天,斋戒一心诵持陀罗尼满一千遍,让短命的人寿命得以延续,永远脱离…
