苦求不得苦。或堕针刺地狱黑绳地狱。喝醯大地狱极热大地狱火坑地狱。或堕饿鬼趣。如是有情受大苦恼。彼紧那啰作是思惟。如是善男子彼紧那啰。乐甚深法思惟圆寂真界。复于恒时念观自在菩萨摩诃萨名号。由是称念。而于是时得诸资具悉皆丰足。善男子观自在菩萨摩诃萨。乃至名号亦难得值。何以故彼与一切有情如大父母。一切恐怖有情施之无畏。开导一切有情为大善友。如是善男子彼观自在菩萨摩诃萨。有六字大明陀罗尼难得值遇。若有人能称念其名。当得生彼毛孔之中不受沉沦。出一毛孔而复往诣入一毛孔。于彼而住乃至当证圆寂之地。时除盖障菩萨白世尊言。世尊今此六字大明陀罗尼。为从何处而得耶。 佛告善男子。此六字大明陀罗尼难得值遇。至于如来而亦不知所得之处。因位菩萨云何而能知得处耶。除盖障菩萨白世尊言。如是陀罗尼。今佛如来应正等觉。云何而不知耶。 佛告善男子。此六字大明陀罗尼。是观自在菩萨摩诃萨微妙本心。若有知是微妙本心即知解脱。时除盖障菩萨白世尊言。世尊诸有情中。有能知是六字大明陀罗尼者不。佛言无有知者。善男子此六字大明陀罗尼。无量相应如来而尚难知。菩萨云何而得知此观自在菩萨微妙本心处耶。我往他方国土。无有知是六字大明陀 现代汉语译本 求而不得的痛苦。或者堕入针刺地狱、黑绳地狱、喝醯大地狱、极热大地狱、火坑地狱。或者堕入饿鬼道。像这样的有情众生承受巨大的苦恼。那位紧那啰（Kinnara，人非人）这样思惟。像这样的善男子，那位紧那啰，喜爱甚深的佛法，思惟圆寂的真如境界。又时常念诵观自在菩萨摩诃萨（Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahāsattva，观世音菩萨）的名号。由于这样的称念，于是在这个时候得到各种资财器具，全都丰足。善男子，观自在菩萨摩诃萨，乃至他的名号都难以遇到。为什么呢？因为他对于一切有情众生如同伟大的父母，对于一切恐怖的有情众生施予无畏，开导一切有情众生作为伟大的善友。像这样的善男子，那观自在菩萨摩诃萨，有六字大明陀罗尼（Six-syllable Great Bright Mantra，六字大明咒）难以遇到。如果有人能够称念这个名号，就能出生在他的毛孔之中，不遭受沉沦。从一个毛孔出来，又前往进入另一个毛孔，在那里安住，乃至最终证得圆寂的境界。当时，除盖障菩萨（Sarvanivāraṇaviṣkambhin，一切盖障消除菩萨）对世尊说：‘世尊，现在这六字大明陀罗尼，是从哪里得到的呢？’ 佛告诉善男子：‘这六字大明陀罗尼难以遇到，即使是如来（Tathagata，佛）也不知道它的来处。因位的菩萨怎么能够知道它的来处呢？’除盖障菩萨对世尊说：‘像这样的陀罗尼，现在佛如来应正等觉（Tathagata Arhat Samyak-saṃbuddha，如来阿罗汉正等觉），怎么会不知道呢？’ 佛告诉善男子：‘这六字大明陀罗尼，是观自在菩萨摩诃萨微妙的本心。如果有人知道这个微妙的本心，就知道了解脱。’当时，除盖障菩萨对世尊说：‘世尊，在所有有情众生中，有没有能够知道这六字大明陀罗尼的人呢？’佛说：‘没有知道的人。’善男子，这六字大明陀罗尼，无量相应，如来尚且难以知道，菩萨怎么能够知道这观自在菩萨微妙本心之处呢？我前往其他方国土，没有知道这六字大明陀罗尼的。

English version The suffering of not obtaining what one seeks. Or falling into the Needle-Pricking Hell, the Black Rope Hell, the Drinking-Hee Great Hell, the Extremely Hot Great Hell, the Fire Pit Hell. Or falling into the realm of hungry ghosts. Sentient beings like these endure great suffering. That Kinnara (Kinnara, a semi-divine being) thought thus. Such a good man, that Kinnara, delights in the profound Dharma, contemplating the true realm of Nirvana. Moreover, he constantly recites the name of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahāsattva (Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, the Bodhisattva Who Observes the Sounds of the World). By virtue of this recitation, at that time, he obtains all kinds of resources and provisions, all of which are abundant. Good man, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, even his name is difficult to encounter. Why is that? Because he is like great parents to all sentient beings, bestowing fearlessness upon all frightened sentient beings, guiding all sentient beings as a great and virtuous friend. Such a good man, that Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahāsattva, possesses the Six-syllable Great Bright Mantra (Six-syllable Great Bright Mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum), which is difficult to encounter. If someone can recite this name, they will be born from his pores, not subject to sinking into suffering. Emerging from one pore and then going to enter another pore, dwelling there until they attain the state of Nirvana. At that time, Sarvanivāraṇaviṣkambhin Bodhisattva (Sarvanivāraṇaviṣkambhin, the Bodhisattva Who Removes All Obstructions) said to the World Honored One: 'World Honored One, from where is this Six-syllable Great Bright Mantra obtained?' The Buddha told the good man: 'This Six-syllable Great Bright Mantra is difficult to encounter. Even the Tathagata (Tathagata, Thus Come One) does not know its origin. How can a Bodhisattva in the stage of cause know its origin?' Sarvanivāraṇaviṣkambhin Bodhisattva said to the World Honored One: 'Such a mantra, now the Buddha, the Tathagata Arhat Samyak-saṃbuddha (Tathagata Arhat Samyak-saṃbuddha, the Thus Come One, Worthy One, Perfectly Enlightened One), how can he not know it?' The Buddha told the good man: 'This Six-syllable Great Bright Mantra is the subtle original mind of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahāsattva. If someone knows this subtle original mind, they know liberation.' At that time, Sarvanivāraṇaviṣkambhin Bodhisattva said to the World Honored One: 'World Honored One, among all sentient beings, are there any who can know this Six-syllable Great Bright Mantra?' The Buddha said: 'There is no one who knows it.' Good man, this Six-syllable Great Bright Mantra, immeasurable and corresponding, is difficult even for the Tathagata to know. How can a Bodhisattva know the place of this subtle original mind of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva? I have gone to other lands, and there is no one who knows this Six-syllable Great Bright Mantra. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
