English version Thus, each of these things is obtained individually. Some attain the first Bhumi (stage of bodhisattva path), the second Bhumi, and even the tenth Bhumi. Some fulfill the six Paramitas (perfections: generosity, morality, patience, diligence, concentration, and wisdom). That Brahmin, far from dust and defilement, attains the five supernormal powers (divine eye, divine ear, knowledge of others' minds, recollection of past lives, and magical powers). At that time, Vajrapani (a Buddhist protector deity), seeing this extraordinary and rare event, said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, how wonderful and extraordinary! Just hearing of this matter still obtains such supreme merit; how much more merit will be obtained by hearing the profound principles and sincerely generating faith?' The Buddha said: 'Listen carefully, Vajrapani. In later ages, if there are faithful men and women, as well as my fourfold assembly (bhikshus, bhikshunis, upasakas, and upasikas), who resolve to write this one sutra, it is equivalent to writing all the sutras spoken by ninety-nine hundred thousand kotis (extremely large number) of Tathagatas (Buddhas). This surpasses planting good roots for a long time before those ninety-nine hundred thousand kotis of Tathagatas. It is also as if all those Tathagatas bless and protect this person, like cherishing their own eyes, and like a loving mother cherishing her young child.' 'If someone recites this one scroll of scripture, it is equivalent to reciting the scriptures spoken by the Buddhas of the past, present, and future. Because of this reason, ninety-nine hundred thousand kotis of all Tathagatas, worthy of perfect enlightenment, crowd together without any gaps, like sesame seeds piled upon each other, appearing day and night to bless that person. Like all those Buddhas and Tathagatas, countless as the sands of the Ganges, the front group has not left, and the rear group comes again, momentarily shifting and returning again. It is like fine sand swirling rapidly in water, unable to stop, going back and forth.' 'If someone uses incense, flowers, scented paste, flower garlands, clothing, and subtle adornments to make offerings to this sutra, it is equivalent to making offerings before those ninety-nine hundred thousand kotis of Tathagatas in the ten directions, using heavenly incense, flowers, clothing, adornments, and objects made of the seven treasures, piled up as high as Mount Sumeru (a sacred mountain in Buddhism), offering them completely, and planting good roots in the same way.' At that time, the eight classes of gods and dragons (eight types of supernatural beings in Buddhism), as well as humans and non-humans, upon hearing these words, each with a feeling of wonder, said to each other: 'How wondrous! This decaying pile of earth, because of the blessing of the Tathagata's divine power, has such miraculous transformations.' Vajrapani again said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, for what reason does this seven-jeweled stupa (a tower made of seven precious materials) now appear as a pile of earth?' The Buddha told Vajrapani: 'This is not a pile of earth, but a supremely wonderful great treasure stupa! Because of the inferior karmic results of sentient beings, it is hidden and does not appear. Because the stupa is hidden, the entire body of the Tathagata is indestructible; how could it be?' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

如来金刚藏身而可坏哉。我若灭度后世末法逼迫之时。若有众生习行非法应堕地狱。不信三宝不植善根。为是因缘佛法当隐。然犹是塔坚固不灭。一切如来神力所持。无智众生惑障覆蔽。徒朽珍宝不知采用。以是事故我今流泪。彼诸如来亦皆流泪。复次佛告金刚手言。若有众生书写此经置塔中者。是塔即为一切如来金刚藏窣都婆。亦为一切如来陀罗尼心秘密加持窣都婆。即为九十九百千万俱胝如来窣都婆。亦为一切如来佛顶佛眼窣都婆。即为一切如来神力所护。若佛像中窣都婆中安置此经。其像即为七宝所成灵验应心无愿不满。其窣都婆伞盖罗网轮橖露盘。德字铃铎楹础基阶随力所办。或土或木若石若砖。由经威力自为七宝。一切如来于此经典加其威力。以诚实言不断加持。若有有情能于此塔。一香一华礼拜供养。八十亿劫生死重罪一时消灭。生免灾殃死生佛家。若有应堕阿鼻地狱。若于此塔。或一礼拜。或一右绕。塞地狱门开菩提路。塔及形像所在之处。一切如来神力所护。其处不为暴风雷电霹雳所害。不为毒蛇蚖蝮毒虫毒兽所伤。不为师子狂象虎狼野干蜂虿之所伤害。亦无药叉罗刹部多那毗舍。遮魑魅魍魉癫痫之怖。亦复不为一切寒热诸病。疬瘘痈疽疮疣疥癞所染。若人暂见是塔能除一切灾难。其处亦无人马六畜 现代汉语译本： 如来的金刚藏身躯怎么会毁坏呢？我如果灭度后，在末法时代逼迫来临的时候，如果有众生习行非法之事，应当堕入地狱，不相信三宝（佛、法、僧），不种植善根。因为这些因缘，佛法将会隐没。然而这座塔仍然坚固不灭，为一切如来的神力所护持。没有智慧的众生被迷惑和业障所覆盖，白白地让珍宝朽坏，不知道采用。因为这个缘故，我现在流泪，那些如来也都流泪。 佛陀又告诉金刚手（Vajrapani，佛教护法神）说：‘如果有众生书写这部经，放置在塔中，这座塔就成为一切如来的金刚藏窣都婆（Stupa，佛塔），也成为一切如来陀罗尼（Dharani，总持）心秘密加持的窣都婆，即为九十九百千万俱胝（Koti，印度数字单位，意为千万）如来的窣都婆，也为一切如来佛顶佛眼的窣都婆，即为一切如来的神力所护。如果佛像中或窣都婆中安置这部经，那佛像就成为七宝所成，灵验应心，没有愿望不能满足。那窣都婆的伞盖、罗网、轮橖（轮轴）、露盘，以及刻有吉祥文字的装饰、铃铎、楹础（柱子的基石）、基阶，随能力所及来办理，或者用土，或者用木，或者用石头，或者用砖，由于经的威力，自然成为七宝。一切如来于这部经典中加入他们的威力，以诚实之言不断地加持。如果有有情众生能对这座塔，用一炷香、一朵花来礼拜供养，八十亿劫的生死重罪一时消灭，活着免除灾殃，死后往生佛家。如果有人应当堕入阿鼻地狱（Avici，八大地狱中最苦之处），如果对这座塔，或者一礼拜，或者向右绕行，就能堵塞地狱之门，开辟菩提之路。塔和佛像所在之处，一切如来的神力所护，那个地方不会被暴风、雷电、霹雳所伤害，不会被毒蛇、蚖蝮（一种毒蛇）、毒虫、毒兽所伤害，不会被狮子、狂象、虎狼、野干（胡狼）、蜂、蝎所伤害，也没有药叉（Yaksa，夜叉）、罗刹（Rakshasa，罗刹）、部多（Bhuta， भूत，鬼）、那毗舍遮（Pisaca，食人鬼）、魑魅魍魉、癫痫的恐怖，也不会被一切寒热诸病、疬瘘（恶疮）、痈疽（毒疮）、疮疣（赘生物）、疥癞（皮肤病）所染。如果有人暂且见到这座塔，能消除一切灾难，那个地方也没有人马六畜的瘟疫。’

English version: How could the Vajra-essence body of the Tathagata be destroyed? If, after my Parinirvana (extinction), during the time of the decline of Dharma (Buddhist law), there are sentient beings who practice unlawful deeds and should fall into hell, who do not believe in the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) and do not plant roots of goodness, because of these causes, the Buddha-dharma will be hidden. Yet this stupa (Stupa, Buddhist monument) remains firm and indestructible, upheld by the divine power of all the Tathagatas. Ignorant beings are covered by delusion and karmic obstacles, letting treasures decay in vain, not knowing how to use them. For this reason, I now weep, and all those Tathagatas also weep. Furthermore, the Buddha said to Vajrapani (Vajrapani, a Buddhist guardian deity): 'If there are sentient beings who write this sutra and place it in a stupa, that stupa will become the Vajra-essence stupa of all the Tathagatas, and also the secret empowerment stupa of the Dharani (Dharani, a type of mantra) heart of all the Tathagatas, that is, the stupa of ninety-nine hundred thousand Koti (Koti, an Indian numerical unit meaning ten million) Tathagatas, and also the stupa of the Buddha-crown and Buddha-eye of all the Tathagatas, that is, protected by the divine power of all the Tathagatas. If this sutra is placed in a Buddha image or in a stupa, that image will be made of the seven treasures, efficacious and responsive, with no wish unfulfilled. The umbrella, netting, wheel-support, dew-plate of that stupa, as well as the auspicious inscriptions, bells, pillar-bases, and foundation steps, are made according to one's ability, whether of earth, wood, stone, or brick, by the power of the sutra, they will naturally become the seven treasures. All the Tathagatas add their power to this sutra, constantly empowering it with truthful words. If there are sentient beings who can offer incense and flowers to this stupa with reverence, the heavy sins of eighty billion kalpas (aeons) of birth and death will be eliminated at once, avoiding disasters in life and being born into the Buddha's family after death. If someone should fall into Avici (Avici, the most painful of the eight great hells) hell, if they bow once or circumambulate this stupa to the right, they can block the gates of hell and open the path to Bodhi (enlightenment). Wherever the stupa and images are located, they are protected by the divine power of all the Tathagatas. That place will not be harmed by storms, lightning, or thunderbolts, nor by poisonous snakes, vipers, poisonous insects, or poisonous beasts, nor by lions, mad elephants, tigers, wolves, jackals, bees, or scorpions, nor will there be fear of Yakshas (Yaksa, a type of spirit), Rakshasas (Rakshasa, a demon), Bhutas (Bhuta, भूत, a ghost), Pisacas (Pisaca, a flesh-eating demon), goblins, demons, epilepsy, nor will they be infected by all kinds of cold and heat diseases, scrofula, carbuncles, sores, warts, scabies, or leprosy. If a person temporarily sees this stupa, they can eliminate all disasters, and that place will be free from plagues of humans, horses, and livestock.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
