善男子又如一俱胝数如来。在于一处经天一劫。以衣服饮食座卧敷具。及以汤药受用资具。种种供养彼诸如来。而亦不能数尽。六字大明功德数量。非唯我今在此世界。我起定中不可思议。善男子此法微妙加行观智一切相应。汝于未来当得是微妙心法。彼观自在菩萨摩诃萨。善住如是六字大明陀罗尼。善男子我以加行。遍历无数百千万俱胝那庾多世界。到彼无量寿如来所。在前合掌为于法故涕泣流泪。时无量寿如来。知我见在及以未来而告我言。善男子汝须此六字大明王观行瑜伽耶。我时白言我须是法世尊。我须是法善逝。如渴乏者而须其水。世尊我为是六字大明陀罗尼故。行无数世界。承事供养无数百千万俱胝那庾多如来。未曾得是六字大明王陀罗尼。唯愿世尊救我愚钝。如不具足者令得具足。迷失路者引示道路。阳炎热为作荫覆。于四衢道植娑罗树。我心渴仰是法唯愿示导。令得善住究竟之道。擐金刚甲胄。是时无量寿如来应正等觉。以迦陵频伽音声。告观自在菩萨摩诃萨言。善男子汝见是莲华上如来应正等觉。为此六字大明陀罗尼故。遍历无数百千万俱胝那庾多世界。善男子汝应与是六字大明。此如来为是故来于此。观自在菩萨白世尊言。不见曼拏攞者不能得此法。云何知是莲华印。云何知是持摩尼印。云何知 现代汉语译本 善男子，又比如一俱胝（kù zhī，数量单位，意为千万）数量的如来，在一处经历一天劫的时间，用衣服、饮食、座位、卧具，以及汤药和受用资具，种种供养那些如来，也不能数尽六字大明（即六字大明咒：嗡嘛呢呗咪吽）的功德数量。不仅仅是我现在在这个世界，我从禅定中生起的不可思议。善男子，此法微妙，加行观智一切相应。你于未来应当得到这微妙心法。那位观自在菩萨摩诃萨，善于安住于这六字大明陀罗尼。善男子，我以加行，走遍无数百千万俱胝那庾多（nàyǔduō，数量单位，意为千亿）世界，到达无量寿如来（Amitābha，阿弥陀佛）所在之处，在他面前合掌，为了求法而涕泣流泪。当时无量寿如来，知道我现在的状况以及未来的愿望，告诉我：‘善男子，你需要这六字大明王观行瑜伽吗？’我当时回答说：‘世尊，我需要这个法。善逝（Sugata，如来的称号），我需要这个法，就像口渴的人需要水一样。世尊，为了这六字大明陀罗尼，我走过无数世界，承事供养无数百千万俱胝那庾多如来，未曾得到这六字大明王陀罗尼。唯愿世尊救我愚钝，像不具足的人令其得到具足，迷失道路的人引导他道路，在阳炎热的地方为他遮荫，在四通八达的道路上种植娑罗树（śāla，一种树）。我心中渴求这个法，唯愿您指示引导，令我得到善住究竟之道，披上金刚甲胄。’当时无量寿如来应正等觉，以迦陵频伽（kalaviṅka，一种鸟，声音美妙）的声音，告诉观自在菩萨摩诃萨：‘善男子，你看见这位莲华上如来应正等觉，为了这六字大明陀罗尼，走遍无数百千万俱胝那庾多世界。善男子，你应该给他这六字大明，这位如来为此来到这里。’观自在菩萨对世尊说：‘不见曼拏攞（maṇḍala，坛城）的人不能得到此法。如何知道这是莲华印？如何知道这是持摩尼印？如何知道……’

English version Furthermore, noble son, suppose there were a koti (俱胝, kù zhī, a unit of measurement meaning ten million) of Tathagatas (如来, rúlái, 'Thus Come One', an epithet of the Buddha) in one place, and for one kalpa (劫, jié, an aeon) you offered them various things such as clothing, food, seats, bedding, medicine, and other necessities. Even then, you could not count the number of merits of the Six-Syllable Great Bright Mantra (六字大明咒, liù zì dàmíng zhòu, the mantra 'Om Mani Padme Hum'). It is not only that I am in this world now, but also the inconceivable arising from my samadhi (禅定, chándìng, meditative absorption). Noble son, this Dharma (法, fǎ, the teachings of the Buddha) is subtle, and the practice of preliminary actions, contemplation, and wisdom are all in accordance. In the future, you should obtain this subtle mind Dharma. That Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahasattva (观自在菩萨摩诃萨, Guānzìzài Púsà Móhēsà, the great being Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara) dwells well in this Six-Syllable Great Bright Dharani (六字大明陀罗尼, liù zì dàmíng tuóluóní, the Six-Syllable Great Bright Mantra). Noble son, through preliminary actions, I have traveled through countless hundreds of thousands of kotis of nayutas (那庾多, nàyǔduō, a large number, meaning hundreds of billions) of worlds, and arrived at the place of Amitabha Tathagata (无量寿如来, Wúliàngshòu Rúlái, the Tathagata of Immeasurable Life), where I joined my palms before him, weeping and shedding tears for the sake of the Dharma. At that time, Amitabha Tathagata, knowing my present condition and future aspirations, said to me: 'Noble son, do you need this Six-Syllable Great Bright King Contemplation Yoga?' I then replied: 'World Honored One, I need this Dharma. Sugata (善逝, Shànshì, 'Well-Gone One', an epithet of the Buddha), I need this Dharma, just as a thirsty person needs water. World Honored One, for the sake of this Six-Syllable Great Bright Dharani, I have traveled through countless worlds, serving and making offerings to countless hundreds of thousands of kotis of nayutas of Tathagatas, but I have never obtained this Six-Syllable Great Bright King Dharani. I only wish that the World Honored One would save me from my foolishness, like making complete what is incomplete, guiding those who have lost their way, providing shade in the heat of the sun, and planting sala trees (娑罗树, śāla, a type of tree) at the crossroads. My heart thirsts for this Dharma, I only wish that you would instruct and guide me, so that I may attain the path of dwelling well and ultimately, and don the Vajra (金刚, jīngāng, diamond) armor.' At that time, Amitabha Tathagata, the Arhat (阿罗汉, Āluóhàn, enlightened being), the Perfectly Enlightened One, with the voice of a kalaviṅka (迦陵频伽, kalaviṅka, a mythical bird with a beautiful voice), said to Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahasattva: 'Noble son, you see this Lotus-Seated Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One, who has traveled through countless hundreds of thousands of kotis of nayutas of worlds for the sake of this Six-Syllable Great Bright Dharani. Noble son, you should give him this Six-Syllable Great Bright Mantra, this Tathagata has come here for this reason.' Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva said to the World Honored One: 'One who does not see the mandala (曼拏攞, maṇḍala, a symbolic diagram) cannot obtain this Dharma. How can one know this is the Lotus Mudra (莲华印, liánhuā yìn, hand gesture)? How can one know this is the Mani Mudra (持摩尼印, chí móní yìn, hand gesture)? How can one know...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: This is the seal of all kings. How is it known that the Mandala (Mandala, sacred circle) is of a pure nature? Now, the form of this Mandala is five cubits in length and width on each of its four sides. In the center of the Mandala, establish the image of Amitayus (Amitayus, Infinite Life Buddha), spread with powders, using Indra (Indra, Lord of Gods) Nila (Nila, blue) gem powder, Padma (Padma, lotus) Raga (Raga, red) gem powder, Marakata (Marakata, emerald) gem powder, Sphatika (Sphatika, crystal) gem powder, Suvarna (Suvarna, gold) Rupa (Rupa, silver) gem powder. To the right of Amitayus Tathagata, establish the Mahamaniratna Bodhisattva (Mahamaniratna Bodhisattva, Great Jewel Bodhisattva). To the left of the Buddha, establish the Six-Syllable Great Bright Mantra (Om Mani Padme Hum, the mantra of compassion), with four arms, flesh-colored, white as the moon, adorned with various jewels. The left hand holds a lotus flower, on which rests a mani jewel. The right hand holds a rosary. The lower two hands form the seal of all kings. At the feet of the Six-Syllable Great Bright Mantra, establish devas (devas, celestial beings), adorned with various ornaments, the right hand holding a censer, the left hand holding a bowl filled with various jewels. At the four corners of the Mandala, arrange the Four Great Heavenly Kings, holding various weapons. At the four outer corners of the Mandala, place four virtuous vases, filled with various mani jewels. If there are good men or good women who wish to enter this Mandala, and their family members are unable to enter, simply write down their names. Those who enter first should cast the names of those family members into the Mandala. All those family members will attain the position of Bodhisattva, and among them, they will be free from all suffering and quickly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment). This Acharya (Acharya, teacher) must not transmit it indiscriminately. If there are those who are skillful in means, deeply believe in the Mahayana, diligently cultivate and aspire to liberation, such persons should be taught, and it should not be taught to those with heretical views. At that time, Amitayus Tathagata, the rightly enlightened one, said to Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva Mahasattva, Bodhisattva of Compassion): 'Good man, if there are these five kinds of colored gem powders, they should be used to construct this Mandala.' If good men or good women are poor and unable to obtain these gem powders, what should be done? Avalokiteshvara replied: 'World-Honored One, one should use skillful means, using various colors to create it, and make offerings with various fragrant flowers and the like.' If the good man is also unable to do so, or is lodging temporarily, or is traveling on the road, the Acharya should visualize the Mandala in his mind, and form the --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

阇梨印相。是时莲华上如来应正等觉。告观自在菩萨言。善男子与我说是六字大明王陀罗尼。我为无数百千万俱胝那庾多有情。令离轮回苦恼。速疾证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提故。是时观自在菩萨摩诃萨。与莲华上如来应正等觉。说是六字大明陀罗尼曰。 唵(引)么抳钵 讷铭(二合)吽(引) 当说此六字大明陀罗尼时。此四大洲并诸天宫。悉皆震摇如芭蕉叶。四大海水波浪腾涌。一切尾那野迦药叉啰刹娑。拱伴拏摩贺迦攞等。并诸眷属诸魔作障者。悉皆怖散驰走。 尔时莲华上如来应正等觉。舒如象王鼻臂。授与观自在菩萨摩诃萨价直百千真珠璎珞。以用供养。观自在菩萨既受得已。持奉上彼无量寿如来应正等觉。彼佛受已。还持奉上莲华上如来。而于是时莲华上佛。既受得是六字大明陀罗尼已。而还复彼莲华上世界中。如是善男子我于往昔之时。于彼莲华上如来应正等觉所。得闻是陀罗尼。 尔时除盖障菩萨。而白佛言世尊。令我云何得是六字大明陀罗尼。世尊如是相应甘露德味充满。世尊我若得闻是陀罗尼而无懈惓。心念思惟而能受持。令诸有情而得闻是六字大明陀罗尼。获大功德愿为宣说。 佛告善男子。若有人书写此六字大明陀罗尼者。则同书写八万四千法藏而无有异。 现代汉语译本： 阇梨（Acharya，阿阇梨，意为导师）印相。这时，莲华上如来应正等觉（Lokesvararaja Tathagata Arhat Samyaksambuddha，莲花之上的如来、阿罗汉、正等觉者）告诉观自在菩萨（Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva）说：‘善男子，为我说这六字大明王陀罗尼（sadaksaramahavidyaraja-dharani）。我为了无数百千万俱胝那庾多（kotinayuta，数量单位）的有情众生，让他们脱离轮回的苦恼，迅速证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，无上正等正觉）。’这时，观自在菩萨摩诃萨（Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Mahasattva）向莲华上如来应正等觉，说了这六字大明陀罗尼： ‘唵（Om） 么抳（mani，宝珠）钵讷铭（padme，莲花中） 吽（Hum）’ 当宣说这六字大明陀罗尼时，这四大洲（catasro dvipah，指世界）以及诸天宫，都像芭蕉叶一样震动摇晃，四大海水波浪翻腾。一切尾那野迦（Vinayaka，象头神）、药叉（yaksa，夜叉，一种鬼神）、啰刹娑（raksasa，罗刹，恶鬼）、拱伴拏（kumbhanda，鸠槃荼，一种鬼神）、摩贺迦攞（Mahakala，大黑天）等，以及他们的眷属和制造障碍的魔众，都惊恐四散逃走。 这时，莲华上如来应正等觉伸出如象王鼻子般的臂膀，授予观自在菩萨摩诃萨价值百千的真珠璎珞，用来供养。观自在菩萨接受后，又奉献给无量寿如来应正等觉（Amitayus Tathagata Arhat Samyaksambuddha）。无量寿如来接受后，又转而奉献给莲华上如来。当时，莲华上佛接受了这六字大明陀罗尼后，就返回到莲华上的世界中。善男子，我在往昔之时，于莲华上如来应正等觉处，听闻了这陀罗尼。 这时，除盖障菩萨（Sarvanivaranaviskambhin Bodhisattva）向佛说道：‘世尊，我如何才能得到这六字大明陀罗尼？世尊，这陀罗尼是如此相应、甘露般的德味充满。世尊，如果我能听闻这陀罗尼而不懈怠，心中念诵思惟并能受持，使诸有情众生都能听闻这六字大明陀罗尼，获得大功德，希望您能为我们宣说。’ 佛告诉善男子：‘如果有人书写这六字大明陀罗尼，就等同于书写八万四千法藏，没有差别。’
