Bestowing upon all, making them abundant and fulfilled. But if one writes this scripture, their merit surpasses that of the former giving. Therefore, one should listen quietly, with a focused mind, not distracted from the beginning. Writing, upholding, and contemplating it with good thoughts. Such a profound and wondrous scripture, is the work of a wise Bodhisattva (bodhisattva, an enlightened being). Quickly attaining Bodhi (bodhi, enlightenment) is not difficult. Again, the Buddha told Śāriputra (Śāriputra, the disciple foremost in wisdom): 'If there is a practitioner who single-mindedly and continuously recites this dhāraṇī (dhāraṇī, a sacred utterance or spell), eight Yakṣas (yakṣa, a type of spirit or deity) dwelling in the Snow Mountains will protect such a practitioner day and night, removing all decline and misfortune, and increasing their power. Who are these eight? The first is named Śūra (Śūra), (which in the Song Dynasty language means 'brave and strong'). The second is named Citraka (Citraka), (meaning 'firm and steadfast'). The third is named Varada (Varada), (meaning 'abundant'). The fourth is named Nārāyaṇabala (Nārāyaṇabala), (meaning 'mighty warrior'). The fifth is named Nāri-indra (Nāri-indra), (meaning 'lord of men'). The sixth is named Tuthariṣa (Tuthariṣa), (possibly meaning 'skilled in debate' or 'slanderous'). The seventh is named Karāla (Karāla), (meaning 'fierce' or 'terrifying'). The eighth is named Subāhu (Subāhu), (meaning 'beautiful arms').' The Buddha told Śāriputra: 'The practitioner should use fine silk to draw images of these eight ghost-spirits. Use bright colors to make the images extremely pure. Do not use animal glue. If the practitioner wishes to recite this scripture, they should first bathe and wear clean clothes, and wholeheartedly pray to these eight ghost-spirits, preparing various fragrant and pure foods, various wonderful mixed incenses, scattered flowers, flower garlands, and pure oil lamps to offer to them. The practitioner should also paint a circular seat on the ground, sit freely upon it, with their right knee on the ground, holding an incense burner in their hand, and with a compassionate mind towards limitless beings, softly recite the dhāraṇī mantra seven times. These eight ghost-spirits will then manifest their forms.' In the Desire Realm Heaven (Kāmadhātu, the realm of desire in Buddhist cosmology) there are eight Bodhisattvas. When these eight great beings see this practitioner reverently reciting this dhāraṇī, they will also constantly protect and support them, increasing their power. Who are these eight? Bodhisattva of Universal Light, Bodhisattva of Wisdom Light, Bodhisattva of Sunlight, Bodhisattva of Questioning, Bodhisattva of All Wishes Fulfilled, Bodhisattva of Great Power, Bodhisattva of Star King, Bodhisattva of Wonderful Intent. These eight Bodhisattvas and eight ghost-spirits enable this practitioner to cultivate single-mindedly, obtain the power of the dhāraṇī, causing all beings to love and cherish them, and all their needs to be fulfilled at will. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Not lacking. Within a hundred yojanas (yōujùn, an ancient Indian unit of distance, said to be a day's journey) there are no decays or afflictions. Those who practice in this way should cultivate the Dharani (dhāranī, a mnemonic device, incantation), generate true vows, remember and diligently practice, love all good dharmas, and widely bestow kindness with a mind of generosity, precepts, etc., without being stingy regardless of how much. Practitioners who uphold this Dharani should also respect the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, and always have reverence for the Three Jewels, wholeheartedly cultivating profound Dharma-patience. When the World Honored One spoke this Dharani, three thousand Ganges river sands of hundreds of thousands of millions of nayutas (nàyōutā, a unit of number, an extremely large number) of Bodhisattvas and others all obtained this Dharani gate, named 'Speaking Immeasurably'. They also attained the stage of non-retrogression (bù tuì zhuǎn dì, the stage of a Bodhisattva's practice where they will not regress), and in the future will attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (ā nòu duō luó sān miǎo sān pú tí, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment). Sixty pimbara (pín pó luó, a unit of number) of devas and humans, those who had not generated the unsurpassed Bodhi mind, now all generated the intention for the unsurpassed path. At that time, Shariputra (Shè lì fú, one of the Buddha's ten great disciples, foremost in wisdom) said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, what is the name of this Sutra? How should it be upheld?' The Buddha told Shariputra: 'This Sutra is named the 'Immeasurable Gate Total-Retention Dharani Sutra', uphold it in this way. It is also named the 'Crushing All Demons Total-Retention Dharani Sutra', uphold it in this way. It is also named the 'Bodhisattva's Partial Transcendental Intention Total-Retention Dharani Sutra', uphold it in this way. It is also named the 'Partial Attainment of All-Wisdom Total-Retention Dharani Sutra', uphold it in this way.' At that time, after the World Honored One finished speaking this Sutra, Shariputra and other great Shravakas (shēng wén, disciples who attained enlightenment by hearing the Buddha's teachings), Bodhisattvas, humans, devas, asuras (ā xiū luó, a type of deity), garudas (jiā lóu luó, a type of bird deity), gandharvas (qián tà pó, a type of celestial being, skilled in music), kinnaras (jǐn nà luó, a type of celestial being, skilled in music), mahoragas (mó hóu luó qié, a type of serpent deity), all beings in the world heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced, danced, respectfully received and upheld it, paid homage, and withdrew.
