English version: They arrived at the place where the Buddha was. There were also hundreds of thousands of millions of Bodhisattvas, all dwelling in the stage of non-retrogression. There were also thirty hundreds of thousands of millions of Bodhisattvas, all of whom had attained the forbearance of the non-arising of phenomena (anutpāda-dharma-kṣānti). There were also eight hundreds of thousands of millions of Bodhisattvas, all dwelling in the stage of faith and practice. Those Bodhisattva-Mahāsattvas (great beings) came continuously, and having arrived, they saw the Buddha, prostrated themselves with their five limbs on the ground, respectfully bowed to the World-Honored One, single-mindedly joined their palms, circumambulated Him hundreds of thousands of times, and then sat down to one side. At that time, the Elder Śāriputra (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples, known for his wisdom), by the power of the Buddha, clearly knew and saw that those Bodhisattvas and all the great assembly in this land (Saha world) had gathered in the double-storied lecture hall of the Great Forest Monastery (Mahāvana) in the city of Vaiśālī. He thought with certainty and without doubt: 'The Tathāgata (one of the Buddha's titles, meaning 'the one who has thus come'), the Arhat (one of the Buddha's titles, meaning 'worthy of offerings'), the Samyak-saṃbuddha (one of the Buddha's titles, meaning 'perfectly enlightened one') should have long known the profound and subtle meanings that I deeply contemplate in my heart. I should ask the Buddha about these subtle meanings, so that the Bodhisattvas may eliminate their doubts, attain unobstructed wisdom, obtain unsurpassed eloquence, see Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, hear the Dharma of all the Buddhas, and be able to receive and remember it all, clearly remember it, and never forget it, until they attain Anuttara-samyak-saṃbodhi (the highest, true, and complete enlightenment). I now wish to enable the Bodhisattvas and all the great assembly to obtain four kinds of pure Dharma,' 'What are the four? They are the purity of sentient beings, the purity of Dharma, the purity of eloquence, and the purity of the meritorious adornments of the Buddha-land.' He also thought, 'In order to enable the Bodhisattvas and all the great assembly to obtain four kinds of subtle Dharmas that the mind delights in practicing,' 'What are the four? They are the subtlety of body, the subtlety of speech, the subtlety of mind, and the subtlety of skillful means.' He also thought, 'In order to enable them to obtain four kinds of dhāraṇīs (retentive memory), so that the Bodhisattvas and all the great assembly can enter,' 'What are the four? They are the dhāraṇī-gate of entering through letters, the dhāraṇī-gate of skillfully entering through the roots and practices of all sentient beings, the dhāraṇī-gate of skillfully entering the uncreated practice of karmic retribution, and the dhāraṇī-gate of entering the profound forbearance of Dharma.' Like these twelve subtle Dharma-gates, in order to enable the Bodhisattvas and all the great assembly to obtain them all, I think thus: 'These subtle meanings, I have already contemplated and discerned with my mind. According to my intention, I now wish to ask the Buddha. May the World-Honored One be compassionate and have pity on all sentient beings, and listen to my questions.' Thinking thus. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Then Śāriputra, having calmed his thoughts, addressed the Buddha, saying, 'May the World-Honored One, with great compassion, listen to my question.' At that time, the World-Honored One, out of great compassion, did not dismiss his request but silently granted it. Then, the elder Śāriputra, as he had previously intended, contemplating and discerning in his mind, reported to the Buddha in detail, saying, 'May the World-Honored One widely explain to the assembly, so that those Bodhisattvas and all beings, through this meaning, may have all their practices purified. Excellent, World-Honored One, may you widely explain.' At that time, the venerable Śāriputra, having spoken thus, with body and mind in mindfulness, mingled with sorrow and joy, silently stood to one side, gazing upon the face of the World-Honored One, his eyes never leaving, like a thirsty person longing for water, or a hungry bee craving honey, unable to restrain himself. Those Bodhisattvas and all beings were also like this. At that time, the World-Honored One, although knowing that all beings were eagerly yearning, in order to briefly reveal the method of practice, told Śāriputra, 'You all listen carefully and contemplate well. I will explain it to you in detail. Śāriputra, you should know that I am now bestowing upon you the dhāraṇī (陀罗尼) for entering the gate of boundless dharmas. If you and all the Bodhisattvas (菩萨) and all beings can, towards all dharmas, not make grasping or rejection, without any attachment, and can uphold this dhāraṇī, from the beginning to the middle to the end, each and every phrase, I will explain it to you in detail, so that you can rely on practice to obtain great benefits, and you will realize it yourselves.' At that time, Śāriputra and all the Bodhisattva-Mahāsattvas (菩萨摩诃萨) together exclaimed, 'Excellent, World-Honored One! We wish to hear and uphold it, as instructed by the World-Honored One. We are able to perform such practice. Excellent, World-Honored One, may you speak it.' The Buddha said, 'Listen carefully, listen carefully!' and then spoke the mantra: 'Ā nǎi mò nǎi (阿奶莫奶)(1), ā qǐ mò qǐ (阿企莫企)(2), suō màn duō mù qǐ (娑蔓多慕企)(3), sà zhī yé luō mǐ sū mǐ (萨知耶啰米苏米)(4), yù jí dì (喻吉帝)(5), ní lú jí dì (尼嚧吉帝)(6), ní lú jí dì bǎi luō bì (尼卢吉帝百罗陛)(7), yī lì mí lì xī lì (伊隶迷隶醯隶)(8), jiǎo luò bì (脚落弊)(9), jiǎo luò bō dì (脚洛波弟)(10), jiǎo luò bō xì (脚洛波细)(11), suō lì (娑隶)(12), suō luō huó dì (娑啰活帝)(13), xī luò xī lì (醯洛醯隶)(14), xī lì xī lì lì (醯隶醯隶隶)(15), xī luō (醯罗)' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
