English version: Thus I have heard. The Tathagata（Tathagata, one of the titles of a Buddha, meaning 'Thus Gone' or 'Thus Come'）, Arhat（Arhat, one who is worthy of respect）, Samyak-sambuddha（Samyak-sambuddha, perfectly enlightened）, Vidyā-carana-sampanna（Vidyā-carana-sampanna, perfect in knowledge and conduct）, Sugata（Sugata, Well-gone）, Lokavid（Lokavid, Knower of the world）, Anuttara-purusa-damya-sarathi（Anuttara-purusa-damya-sarathi, unsurpassed trainer of those who need to be tamed）, Shasta Deva-manushyanam（Shasta Deva-manushyanam, teacher of gods and humans）, Buddha（Buddha, the awakened one）, Bhagavan（Bhagavan, the blessed one）, 'Victorious Fire Heap Light' appeared in the world. Shariputra（Shariputra, one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha）, when the Tathagata 'Victorious Fire Heap Light' entered Parinirvana（Parinirvana, complete nirvana）, there was a Chakravartin king（Chakravartin king, a universal monarch who rules with a Dharma wheel） named Star Holder（Xingchi）, possessing the seven treasures（Qibao, seven kinds of treasures） and ruling the four continents（Sitianxia, the entire world）. The king had a son named Inconceivable Merit Supreme（Busiyigongdezuisheng）. When this prince reached the age of sixteen hundred, he first heard this Dharani（Dharani, a type of mantra or protective formula） teaching from the Tathagata 'Victorious Fire Heap Light'. He immediately understood and diligently practiced it, day and night for seventy thousand years without懈怠, never tiring and never closing his eyes even for a moment. The prince then, for seventy thousand years, gave up his body, life, wealth, and his kingdom. For another seventy thousand years, he remained alone in a quiet place, diligently walking and never letting his side touch the ground. Furthermore, at the places of nine hundred million, one hundred thousand, nayuta（Nayuta, a large number） of Tathagatas, he heard the Dharma and received, recited, and mastered it all. The prince then renounced his home and practiced the path. After ninety thousand years, he achieved the accomplishment of such immeasurable Dharani gates. When this Bhikshu（Bhikshu, a Buddhist monk） had achieved this, he widely proclaimed this meaning to sentient beings. The Bhikshu prince, in this very life, transformed eighty billion nayuta hundreds of thousands of sentient beings, all of whom were established on the path of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi（Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment）, and also attained the stage of non-retrogression. Moreover, Shariputra, at that time in the assembly, there was a son of a wealthy man named Moon Banner（Yuechuang）. This son of a wealthy man heard such immeasurable Dharani gates from that Bhikshu Dharma master. Having heard it, he immediately rejoiced and received it with the crown of his head. With this root of goodness and merit of rejoicing, Moon Banner encountered ninety billion Buddhas, respectfully making offerings. He obtained this supreme Dharani teaching, which is the most excellent among all discourses. He also obtained the foremost, uninterrupted eloquence. The prince Bhikshu, after making offerings to these Buddhas for three kalpas（Kalpa, an extremely long period of time）, attained the unsurpassed path. Furthermore, Shariputra, do not have doubts. That prince Bhikshu Dharma master was the present Amitabha Tathagata（Amitabha Tathagata, the Buddha of Infinite Light）. Moon Banner at that time was Dipankara Buddha（Dipankara Buddha, the Buddha of Fixed Light）. The Buddha told Shariputra, 'I and the Bodhisattvas of this fortunate kalpa（Kalpa, the current era） together heard this Dharani teaching and immediately rejoiced. With this root of goodness and merit, for forty hundred thousand kalpas, we constantly' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Diligently recite the Dharma of relinquishing birth and death. Among ninety billion Tathagatas (Tathagata, 'Thus Gone One', an epithet of the Buddha), obtaining the Dharani (Dharani, a mnemonic device, incantation) is the most supreme and foremost. Speech is extraordinary, and eloquence is outstanding. Moreover, Sariputra (Sariputra, one of the Buddha's ten principal disciples). Therefore, if a practitioner wishes to quickly attain the unsurpassed path, they should uphold this Dharani Dharma. If they are unable to uphold, write, read, and recite it, they should simply generate joy and approval. The reason is that this root of goodness will ensure that the practitioner attains the stage of non-retrogression and ultimately reaches the unsurpassed path. How much more so for those who uphold, write, read, and recite it, and extensively expound it to others? The merits they obtain are immeasurable by all beings, except for the Tathagata. How much more so for those who contemplate and extensively speak about it to others. At that time, the World-Honored One spoke these verses: 'Having obtained this Dharani, it is named the Gate of Immeasurable [Merit], All Buddhas constantly protect and remember [them], and demons cannot find an opportunity. Karmic obstacles and defilements are quickly purified, Having heard this wonderful scripture, rejoice, then write it down, Uphold it, constantly read and recite it, and extensively expound it to others, The merits of all beings are immeasurable. Wherever the practitioner is born, they will always see the Buddhas, Obtain inconceivable faith, and skillfully understand the meaning of the profound sutras, This practitioner will quickly attain the supreme Bodhi path, Samadhi is boundless, and so is the Dharani, Form and appearance are always complete, and blessings constantly follow, Seeing the Buddha and hearing the Dharma are never lacking, Before attaining Bodhi, forever preserve these merits. I remember in past lives, I had already heard this Dharani, I saw Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, and attained unsurpassed Bodhi, For example, Moon Banner in the past, attained to become Dipamkara Buddha, The Dharma master Bhikshus (Bhikshu, a Buddhist monk) whose past merits are superior, Now see Immeasurable Light, Amitabha Buddha. I, along with countless Bodhisattvas in this fortunate kalpa, All heard this scripture and deeply rejoiced together. If you desire to quickly approach the unsurpassed Bodhi path, And also desire to quickly subdue demons, and also desire to be adorned with a hundred blessings, Then diligently uphold this Dharani, obtaining it is not difficult, If a person uses jewels to fill worlds as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, and gives them away...' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 施于一切 皆使得丰足 但能书此经 其福过于彼 是故应静听 一心初不乱 书写与受持 及以善思惟 如此深妙典 斯为智菩萨 疾得于菩提 不足以为难

又告舍利弗。若有行者专心继念此陀罗尼。有八夜叉住在雪山。昼夜拥护如是行者。除诸衰患益其势力。何者为八。一名首罗(宋言勇健)二名致栗驮(坚固)三名簸腊复多(众多)四名那罗延婆逻(大力士也)五名那隶因驮罗(人主)六名突陀利沙(五能诽谤)七名迦罗逻(嘊柴)八名修婆睺(好臂)。 告舍利弗。行者应当以好帛素。图画如此八鬼神像。以鲜彩色极令清净。不得杂用众生之胶。行者若欲读诵此经。先应沐浴着净衣服。专心祈请此八鬼神。为设种种香洁饮食。众妙杂香散华华鬘。及净油灯以供养之。行者复应彩画于地。如圆轮座自在其上。右膝着地手执香炉。一心慈念无量众生。七遍微诵陀罗尼咒。是八鬼神即现其身。 欲界天中有菩萨。是八大士见此行者敬诵如此陀罗尼时。亦常护念益其势力。何者为八。众光菩萨。智光菩萨。日光菩萨。问难菩萨。一切愿满菩萨。大力菩萨。星王菩萨。妙意菩萨。是八菩萨及八鬼神。令此行者一心专修。得陀罗尼法利势力。使诸众生皆爱念之。一切所须随意 施舍给一切众生，都能使他们得到丰足。 但如果有人书写此经，他的福报将超过之前的布施。 因此，应当安静地听闻，一心不乱。 书写、受持，并且善于思考其中的道理。 如此深奥微妙的经典，是智慧菩萨所为。 迅速证得菩提，并非难事。 佛陀又告诉舍利弗（Śāriputra，智慧第一的弟子）：如果有人专心持续地念诵这个陀罗尼（dhāraṇī，总持、真言）。有八个夜叉（yakṣa，守护神）住在雪山，日夜拥护这样的修行者，消除各种衰败和灾患，增益他们的势力。这八个夜叉的名字是什么呢？ 第一位名叫首罗（Śūra），（翻译成宋朝的语言是勇健的意思）。第二位名叫致栗驮（Citraka），（意思是坚固）。第三位名叫簸腊复多（Varada），（意思是众多）。第四位名叫那罗延婆逻（Nārāyaṇabala），（意思是大力士）。第五位名叫那隶因驮罗（Nāri-indra），（意思是人主）。第六位名叫突陀利沙（Tuthariṣa），（可能指善于辩论或诽谤）。第七位名叫迦罗逻（Karāla），（意思是嘊柴，形容外貌）。第八位名叫修婆睺（Subāhu），（意思是好臂）。 佛陀告诉舍利弗：修行者应当用好的丝绸，绘制这八个鬼神像。用鲜艳的色彩，使画像非常干净。不得使用动物的胶。修行者如果想要读诵此经，应当先沐浴，穿干净的衣服，专心祈请这八个鬼神，为他们设置各种香洁的饮食，各种美妙的杂香、散花、花鬘，以及干净的油灯来供养他们。修行者还应当在地上彩绘一个圆轮座，自在地坐在上面，右膝着地，手执香炉，一心慈念无量众生，用微小的声音念诵七遍陀罗尼咒。这八个鬼神就会显现他们的身形。 在欲界天（Kāmadhātu，佛教宇宙观中的一个界）中有八位菩萨（bodhisattva，有情觉悟者）。当这八位大士看到这位修行者恭敬地念诵这个陀罗尼时，也会常常护念他，增益他的势力。这八位菩萨是谁呢？众光菩萨、智光菩萨、日光菩萨、问难菩萨、一切愿满菩萨、大力菩萨、星王菩萨、妙意菩萨。这八位菩萨和八位鬼神，使这位修行者一心专修，得到陀罗尼的法力，使一切众生都爱念他，一切所需都能随意获得。
