佛告舍利弗。菩萨行者具足四法得陀罗尼。何谓为四。不着秽欲。于诸众生不起嫉妒。施诸财物心无悔吝。昼夜常乐修习善法。又舍利弗菩萨具足如是四法。得陀罗尼。尔时世尊即说偈言。 弃彼污秽欲 及舍鄙魔行 如此欲因缘 即是地狱趣 现代汉语译本 往昔所造的种种罪业，如果能在一个月内受持这部经典，所有的罪业都能够消除灭尽。 一切诸佛世尊，都会亲自为他授记。 假使有诸位菩萨，经过亿劫积累功德，如果能在一个月内受持这样的《陀罗尼》，所获得的功德果报，其福德胜过他们。 三界所有的众生，假设都变为魔，也没有能力阻碍这位受持《陀罗尼》的人。 如果修行者忆念这最上的《陀罗尼》，又能经常诵读受持，乃至最终证得菩提。 宣说此《陀罗尼》，名为‘决定持’，一切诸众生，即应当在此处，都能够现前证得无上菩提道。 听闻此《陀罗尼》，是灯明佛（Dipamkara Buddha）所说，即在极短的时间内，得见恒河沙数般的佛。 如果喜爱诸佛，并且想知道他们的所在之处，应当修持这部经典，一切都能如其所愿。 如果想要得到清净、最美好的佛刹土，光明相好非常明亮，声闻弟子众多具足，受持此《陀罗尼》，一切都能够得到。 修行者应当精进，在七天七夜中，思惟《陀罗尼》，得见八十亿佛。 不要思虑邪恶的念头，也不要思虑其他的念头，专心致志地思惟这部经典，很快就能得到《陀罗尼》。 譬如进入大海，就不再寻求其他的宝物，得到此《陀罗尼》，最终不会再喜欢其他的法门。 所以精进修持这部经典，是为了接近甚深的菩提，当证得无上道，到达寂灭的境界。 佛（Buddha）告诉舍利弗（Sariputra）：菩萨修行者具足四种法，就能得到《陀罗尼》。哪四种呢？不贪着污秽的欲望；对于其他众生不起嫉妒之心；布施各种财物，心中没有后悔吝惜；昼夜常常喜好修习善法。舍利弗（Sariputra），菩萨具足这样的四种法，就能得到《陀罗尼》。当时，世尊（Bhagavan）就说了偈颂： 舍弃那些污秽的欲望，以及舍弃卑劣的魔行，像这样的欲望因缘，就是通往地狱的道路。

English version If one has committed numerous sins in past lives, by upholding this sutra for a month, all those sins will be completely eradicated. All the Buddhas, the World Honored Ones, will personally bestow predictions upon them. Suppose there are Bodhisattvas who accumulate merit over countless kalpas, if they can uphold this Dharani for a month, the resulting merit and reward will surpass theirs. If all beings in the three realms were to become demons, they would not be able to obstruct the one who upholds this Dharani. If a practitioner remembers this supreme Dharani, and is able to constantly recite and uphold it, until they attain Bodhi. Speaking this Dharani is called 'Definite Upholding,' and all beings should, in this very place, attain the unsurpassed path to Bodhi. Hearing this Dharani, spoken by Dipamkara Buddha (the Buddha of light), in an instant, one will behold Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. If one delights in all the Buddhas and wishes to know where they are, one should cultivate and uphold this sutra, and everything will be according to their wishes. If one desires to obtain a pure and most wonderful Buddha-land, with exceedingly bright light and complete assembly of Shravakas (voice-hearers), by upholding this Dharani, all will be obtained. The practitioner should be diligent, and for seven days and seven nights, contemplate the Dharani, and behold eighty billion Buddhas. Do not think of evil thoughts, nor think of other thoughts, but focus solely on contemplating this sutra, and one will quickly obtain the Dharani. It is like entering the great ocean, and no longer seeking other treasures; having obtained this Dharani, one will ultimately not desire other teachings. Therefore, diligently cultivate this sutra, desiring to approach profound Bodhi, one will attain the unsurpassed path and reach the state of Nirvana. The Buddha (Buddha) told Sariputra (Sariputra): A Bodhisattva practitioner who possesses four qualities will obtain Dharani. What are the four? Not being attached to defiled desires; not arising jealousy towards other beings; giving away various possessions without regret or stinginess; constantly delighting in cultivating good deeds day and night. Furthermore, Sariputra (Sariputra), a Bodhisattva who possesses these four qualities will obtain Dharani. At that time, the World Honored One (Bhagavan) spoke the following verse: Abandon those defiled desires, and abandon the base deeds of demons; such causes and conditions of desire are the path to hell. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 于他亲名利 不生嫉妒心 慈眼观众生 得大威妙形 众生若诤讼 皆由此身起 是故应弃爱 必得陀罗尼 昼夜常求法 一心乐菩提 行者即能得 如此陀罗尼 常应现前修 如是等四法

尔时如来告舍利弗。如此四法常应修学。又舍利弗复有四法。行者具此得陀罗尼。何谓为四。一者常当精勤修习阿兰若行。二者于彼甚深法忍堪任奉持。三者不着利养名誉。四者弃于一切所爱染着之处悉皆能舍。乃至身命况余财物。舍利弗菩萨具足如此四法。得陀罗尼。尔时世尊即说偈言。 常修阿兰若 住于不放逸 勤行深忍心 当如救头然 斯行最殊胜 诸佛之所赞 不于他眷属 名誉利养等 及以诸财物 而生贪爱心 少欲及知足 如鸟无储积 既已得人身 常应修众善 善哉得佛法 出家弃苦本 憍慢诸烦恼 悉已得清净 应当勤恭敬 尊重佛法僧 贪利失念智 亦丧信戒法 去菩提甚远 是故应弃贪 又舍利弗。行者复应成就四法。得陀罗尼。何等为四。有八字义。云何为八。所谓阿字是第一义。一切诸法入无我义。攞者相好。此相好者入于如来法身之义。婆者婴儿。婴儿法者决定趣入聪慧之义。阇者生老病死之患。是 现代汉语译本 对于他人获得名声和利益，不生起嫉妒之心。 以慈悲的眼光看待众生，便能获得伟大而殊胜的形貌。 众生之间的争端和诉讼，都是由此身而生起。 因此应当舍弃贪爱，必定能够获得陀罗尼（Dharani，总持）。 日夜不停地寻求佛法，一心欢喜菩提（Bodhi，觉悟）。 修行者如果能够做到这些，就能获得这样的陀罗尼。 应当经常在眼前修习，像这样等等的四种法。 这时，如来告诉舍利弗（Sariputra，佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著称）：‘这四种法应当经常修习。’又，舍利弗，还有四种法，修行者具备这些就能获得陀罗尼。什么是这四种法呢？第一，应当经常精勤地修习阿兰若行（Aranya，远离喧嚣的修行）。第二，对于甚深微妙的法忍，能够堪任奉持。第三，不贪着利养和名誉。第四，舍弃一切所爱染着的地方，全部都能够舍弃，乃至舍弃身命，更何况是其余的财物。舍利弗，菩萨如果具足这四种法，就能获得陀罗尼。’ 这时，世尊就说了偈语： ‘经常修习阿兰若，安住于不放逸。 勤奋地修习深忍之心，应当像救头燃一样紧迫。 这种修行最殊胜，是诸佛所赞叹的。 不对于他人的眷属，名誉利养等等， 以及各种财物，而生起贪爱之心。 少欲知足，像鸟儿一样没有储蓄。 既然已经得到了人身，就应当经常修习各种善行。 真好啊，能够得到佛法，出家舍弃痛苦的根源。 骄慢和各种烦恼，都已经得到清净。 应当勤奋地恭敬，尊重佛法僧（Buddha, Dharma, Sangha，佛教三宝）。 贪图利益会失去念智，也会丧失信心和戒律。 离菩提非常遥远，因此应当舍弃贪婪。’ ‘又，舍利弗，修行者还应当成就四种法，才能获得陀罗尼。什么是这四种法呢？有八个字的含义。什么是八个字呢？所谓的阿字是第一义，一切诸法进入无我之义。攞字代表相好，这相好进入如来法身之义。婆字代表婴儿，婴儿法代表决定趣入聪慧之义。阇字代表生老病死的忧患，是

Day and night, constantly seeking the Dharma, wholeheartedly delighting in Bodhi (觉悟). Practitioners who can do this will be able to obtain such Dharani. One should constantly cultivate these four practices before them. At that time, the Tathagata (如来) told Sariputra (舍利弗): 'These four practices should be constantly cultivated.' Furthermore, Sariputra, there are four more practices that, when possessed by practitioners, enable them to attain Dharani. What are these four? First, one should always diligently cultivate the Aranya practice (远离喧嚣的修行). Second, one should be able to uphold the profound Dharma-patience. Third, one should not be attached to gain and fame. Fourth, one should abandon all places of attachment and affection, being able to relinquish everything, even one's life, let alone other possessions. Sariputra, a Bodhisattva who possesses these four practices attains Dharani.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke in verse, saying: 'Constantly cultivate Aranya, abide in non-negligence. Diligently practice deep patience, as if saving one's head from burning. This practice is most excellent, praised by all Buddhas. Not towards others' family members, fame, gain, etc., And all possessions, generating greed and attachment. Having few desires and being content, like birds without storage. Having already obtained a human body, one should constantly cultivate all good deeds. How wonderful to obtain the Buddha-dharma, renouncing the root of suffering by leaving home. Arrogance and all afflictions have already been purified. One should diligently respect the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha (佛教三宝). Greed for gain loses mindfulness and wisdom, also losing faith and precepts. Far away from Bodhi, therefore one should abandon greed.' 'Furthermore, Sariputra, practitioners should also accomplish four practices to attain Dharani. What are these four? There are eight letters with meanings. What are the eight letters? The letter 'A' represents the first meaning, all dharmas entering the meaning of no-self. The letter 'La' represents auspicious marks, these auspicious marks entering the meaning of the Tathagata's Dharma-body.

English version: ‘Birth’, ‘old age’, etc., are entering the state of no birth and no death. The letter ‘ka’ means action, entering the state of no karmic retribution. The letter ‘dha’ is the Dharani (a concise summary of the essence of Buddhist teachings) of total retention, emptiness, no form, and vows, entering the Dharma realm. The letter ‘sha’ is Samatha (calm abiding), Vipassanā (insight), and Samatha, etc., entering all dharmas. The letter ‘ksha’ means that all dharmas are without dwelling, without end, without destruction, and without before or after. Such dharmas enter Nirvana (liberation). These eight letters all contain this meaning. Bodhisattvas (enlightenment beings) should follow and enter into them. This is called the first and foremost Dharma. One should write it well and diligently receive and uphold it. Such a Dharani scripture is called the practitioner entering the second Dharma. Every half month, one should recite and remember such a Dharani Dharma. This is called the practitioner entering the third Dharma. The practitioner should always concentrate and contemplate such a Dharani Dharma, making all sentient beings happy, guiding their minds, and striving to make them diligent and sharp. This is called the practitioner entering the fourth Dharma. Sariputra (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha, known for his wisdom), if a practitioner possesses these four Dharmas, he will obtain this Dharani. At that time, the World Honored One spoke this verse: Writing and upholding the Dharani, Those who contemplate the eight letters, If every half month, Diligently and constantly recite, Sentient beings in this place, Practice constantly remembering, Drawing near to the vast, Bodhi (enlightenment) profound wisdom, Will surely be able to see, All Buddhas of the ten directions, Therefore, for this Dharma, One should cultivate a diligent learning mind. The Buddha told Sariputra, Bodhisattva-Mahāsattvas (great Bodhisattvas) have four benefits that they should always diligently practice. What are the four? First, right mindfulness of the Buddhas of the ten directions. Second, ultimately without any demonic affairs. Third, this person quickly departs from karmic obstacles. Fourth, quickly obtaining uninterrupted, subtle, profound, and eloquent speech. Furthermore, Sariputra, regarding these four Dharmas, practitioners should diligently practice this Dharani and will surely obtain Dharma benefits. At that time, the World Honored One spoke this verse: One should have right mindfulness of the Buddhas, Unnoticed by all demons, Completely able to quickly depart from, All kinds of karmic obstacles, Also obtaining countless billions, Of eloquent Dharani. The Buddha told Sariputra, in the past, countless, boundless Asamkhya kalpas (an immeasurably long period of time) ago, at that time there was a Buddha named Ratna (Jewel). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
