此言诚谛心无悔吝。是时我依婆罗门教。作法之处悉皆破坏。所有金银珍宝庄严童女。衣服宝铃伞盖妙拂。师子宝座宝严黄牛。及诸宝庄严具。时诸小王众等悉皆受之。便乃出是大力阿苏啰王作法之地。大力阿苏啰王白观自在菩萨摩诃萨言。我今身心思惟。为于往昔依婆罗门法。而设广大布施之会。所施之境垢黑不净。我今并诸眷属。是以禁缚在斯铁窟受大苦恼。观自在我今归依愿垂哀愍。救脱我等如是苦难。而赞叹曰。 归命大悲莲华手 大莲华王大吉祥 种种庄严妙色身 首髻天冠严众宝 顶戴弥陀一切智 救度有情而无数 病苦之人求安乐 菩萨现身作医王 大地为眼明逾日 最上清净微妙眼 照瞩有情得解脱 得解脱已妙相应 犹如如意摩尼宝 能护真实妙法藏 而恒说六波罗蜜 称扬斯法具大智 我今虔恳至归依 赞叹大悲观自在 有情忆念菩萨名 离苦解脱获安隐 作恶业故堕黑绳 及大阿鼻地狱道 诸有饿鬼苦趣者 称名恐怖皆解脱 如是恶道诸有情 悉皆离苦得安乐 若人恒念大士名 当得往生极乐界 面见如来无量寿 听闻妙法证无生 是时观自在菩萨摩诃萨。与大力阿苏啰王授其记别。汝于当来得成为佛。号曰吉祥如来 现代汉语译本： 此言真实可信，内心毫无后悔和吝啬。当时我依据婆罗门教（Brahmanism），将做法事的场所全部破坏，所有金银珍宝、装饰华丽的童女、衣服、宝铃、伞盖、精妙的拂尘、狮子宝座、装饰华丽的黄牛以及各种宝物装饰品，当时各位小国王等全部接受了这些。然后才离开了大力阿苏啰王（Da Li Asu Luo Wang）做法事的地方。大力阿苏啰王（Da Li Asu Luo Wang）对观自在菩萨摩诃萨（Guan Zizai Pusa Mohesa）说：‘我现在身心都在思索，因为往昔依据婆罗门法（Brahmanism），而设立广大的布施法会，所布施的场所污秽不净，我现在和我的眷属，因此被禁锢在这铁窟中，遭受巨大的苦恼。观自在（Guan Zizai），我现在归依您，愿您垂怜哀悯，救脱我们这样的苦难。’于是赞叹说： ‘归命大悲莲华手，大莲华王大吉祥，种种庄严妙色身，首髻天冠严众宝，顶戴弥陀一切智，救度有情而无数，病苦之人求安乐，菩萨现身作医王，大地为眼明逾日，最上清净微妙眼，照瞩有情得解脱，得解脱已妙相应，犹如如意摩尼宝，能护真实妙法藏，而恒说六波罗蜜（Six Paramitas），称扬斯法具大智，我今虔恳至归依，赞叹大悲观自在（Guan Zizai），有情忆念菩萨名，离苦解脱获安隐，作恶业故堕黑绳，及大阿鼻地狱道，诸有饿鬼苦趣者，称名恐怖皆解脱，如是恶道诸有情，悉皆离苦得安乐，若人恒念大士名，当得往生极乐界，面见如来无量寿，听闻妙法证无生。’ 这时，观自在菩萨摩诃萨（Guan Zizai Pusa Mohesa）给大力阿苏啰王（Da Li Asu Luo Wang）授记说：‘你将来会成佛，佛号为吉祥如来（Jixiang Rulai）。’

English version: These words are truthful and sincere, with no regret or stinginess in my heart. At that time, I relied on Brahmanism, destroying all the places where rituals were performed. All the gold, silver, precious jewels, adorned young women, clothes, precious bells, parasols, exquisite whisks, lion thrones, adorned yellow cows, and all sorts of precious ornaments were taken by all the minor kings. Then they left the place where the mighty Asura King (Da Li Asu Luo Wang) performed his rituals. The mighty Asura King (Da Li Asu Luo Wang) said to Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahāsattva (Guan Zizai Pusa Mohesa): 'I am now contemplating in my mind that in the past, relying on Brahmanical practices, I established a grand almsgiving assembly. The place where alms were given was filthy and impure. Now, my family and I are imprisoned in this iron cave, suffering great distress. Avalokiteśvara (Guan Zizai), I now take refuge in you, hoping that you will have compassion and pity, and deliver us from such suffering.' Then he praised: 'I take refuge in the compassionate lotus hand, the great lotus king, the great auspicious one, with a wonderfully adorned body, a jeweled crown adorning the head, crowned with Amitābha's (Mituo) omniscience, saving countless sentient beings. Those who are sick and suffering seek peace and happiness, and the Bodhisattva appears as the king of medicine. The earth is the eye, brighter than the sun, the most supreme, pure, and subtle eye, illuminating sentient beings to attain liberation. Having attained liberation, they are wonderfully in accord, like a wish-fulfilling Mani jewel, able to protect the true and wonderful Dharma treasury, and constantly expounding the Six Paramitas (Six Paramitas), praising this Dharma with great wisdom. I now sincerely take refuge, praising the compassionate Avalokiteśvara (Guan Zizai). Sentient beings who remember the Bodhisattva's name will be liberated from suffering and attain peace. Those who commit evil deeds fall into the Black Rope Hell and the Great Avīci Hell. Those who are hungry ghosts in suffering realms, upon hearing the name, will be freed from terror. Such sentient beings in evil realms will all be liberated from suffering and attain happiness. If one constantly remembers the name of the Great Being, they will be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss, meet the Tathagata Amitāyus (Rulai Wuliangshou) face to face, hear the wonderful Dharma, and realize non-origination.' At that time, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahāsattva (Guan Zizai Pusa Mohesa) gave a prophecy to the mighty Asura King (Da Li Asu Luo Wang): 'In the future, you will become a Buddha, named Auspicious Tathagata (Jixiang Rulai).' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

应供正遍知明行足善逝世间解无上士调御丈夫天人师佛世尊。汝于是时当证六字大明总持之门。今此一切阿苏啰王。汝于当来悉皆救度。如是佛刹一切有情。而不闻有贪瞋痴声。时大力阿苏啰王闻斯授记。即以价直百千真珠璎珞。复以种种妙宝庄严百千万数天冠珥珰。持以奉上愿垂纳受。尔时观自在菩萨摩诃萨。告大力阿苏啰王言。我今为汝说法。应当谛听汝应思惟。乃至于人无常幻化命难久保。汝等而常心中。思惟贪爱具大福德。心常爱乐奴婢人民。乃至谷麦仓库及大伏藏。心常爱乐父母妻子及诸眷属。如是等物虽恒爱乐。如梦所见临命终时无能相救。得不命终此南赡部洲。由是颠倒命终之后。见大奈河脓血盈流。又见大树猛火炽燃。见斯事已心生惊怖。是时阎魔狱卒以绳系缚。急急牵挽走履锋刃大路。举足下足刬割伤截。而有无数乌鹫矩啰啰鸟。及猘狗等而啖食之。于大地狱受其极苦。所履锋刃大路之中。复有大莿长十六指。随一一步有五百莿。刺入脚中悲啼号哭而言。我等有情皆为爱造罪业。今受大苦我今云何。时阎魔狱卒告言。汝从昔来未曾以食施诸沙门。亦未曾闻法犍稚声。未曾旋绕塔像。时诸罪人告阎魔狱卒言。我为罪障于佛法僧。不解信敬而恒远离。狱卒告言。汝以自造种种恶业。今受苦报。狱卒于是 现代汉语译本 应供、正遍知、明行足、善逝、世间解、无上士、调御丈夫、天人师、佛、世尊（如来十号）。您在那个时候将会证得六字大明总持之门。现在这些阿苏啰王（非天，一种神道），您在未来都将救度他们。像这样的佛刹（佛所居住的国土）中，一切有情（众生）都不会听到贪、嗔、痴的声音。 当时，大力阿苏啰王听到这样的授记（预言），立即用价值百千的真珠璎珞（珍贵的装饰品），以及用种种美妙的宝物庄严的百千万数的天冠（天人的帽子）和珥珰（耳饰），奉献给观自在菩萨，希望菩萨接受。 这时，观自在菩萨摩诃萨（大菩萨）告诉大力阿苏啰王说：‘我现在为你说法，你应该仔细听，你应该思考。要知道人是无常的，幻化的，生命难以长久保持。你们却常常心中思惟贪爱，贪爱自己所认为的具大福德之物，心中常常爱乐奴婢人民，乃至谷麦仓库以及大的伏藏（隐藏的宝藏）。心中常常爱乐父母妻子以及各种眷属。像这些东西虽然恒常爱乐，如同梦中所见，临命终时没有一样能够相救。如果不是命终在这个南赡部洲（我们所居住的世界），也是因为颠倒妄想。命终之后，会见到大奈河（地狱中的河流），里面充满脓血。又会见到大树猛火炽燃。见到这些事情后，心中会生起惊怖。' ‘这时，阎魔（地狱之主）的狱卒用绳索捆绑，急急忙忙地牵拉，走在锋利的刀刃大路上。举起脚落下脚，都被刀刃刬割伤截。而且有无数的乌鹫（乌鸦和鹫鹰）、矩啰啰鸟（发出悲鸣的鸟）以及猘狗（疯狗）等来啖食他们。在大地狱中遭受极大的痛苦。所走的锋利刀刃大路之中，还有大刺长十六指，每走一步就有五百根刺刺入脚中，悲啼号哭地说：‘我们这些有情都是因为爱而造作罪业，现在遭受如此大的痛苦，我们现在该怎么办啊？’' ‘这时，阎魔狱卒告诉他们说：‘你们从前没有用食物布施给沙门（出家人），也没有听闻过法犍稚（钟声），没有旋绕过塔像（佛塔和佛像）。’这时，这些罪人告诉阎魔狱卒说：‘我们因为罪障，对于佛法僧（佛教三宝）不理解、不信敬，而且恒常远离。’狱卒告诉他们说：‘你们因为自己造作种种恶业，现在遭受苦报。’狱卒于是...

English version The Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One, Perfect in Knowledge and Conduct, the Well-Gone One, the Knower of the World, the Unsurpassed One, the Guide of Humans, the Teacher of Gods and Humans, the Buddha, the World-Honored One (the ten titles of a Tathagata). At that time, you will attain the gate of the Great Six-Syllable Dharani. Now, all these Asura Kings (non-gods, a type of divine being), you will save them all in the future. In such Buddha-lands (the lands where Buddhas reside), all sentient beings will not hear the sounds of greed, hatred, and delusion. At that time, the Great Strength Asura King, hearing this prediction, immediately offered true pearl necklaces worth hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of millions of heavenly crowns (hats of heavenly beings) and earrings adorned with various wonderful treasures, wishing the Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva to accept them. Then, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Great Bodhisattva) said to the Great Strength Asura King: 'Now I will speak the Dharma for you, you should listen carefully, you should contemplate. Know that humans are impermanent, illusory, and life is difficult to maintain for long. But you always think of greed and attachment in your hearts, being attached to what you consider to be of great merit, and you always love slaves and people, even grains, warehouses, and large hidden treasures. You always love parents, wives, and various relatives. Although you constantly love these things, like what is seen in a dream, none of them can save you at the time of death. If you do not die in this Jambudvipa (the world we live in), it is also because of inverted delusions. After death, you will see the great Vaitarani River (river in hell), filled with pus and blood. You will also see a large tree with fierce flames burning. Seeing these things, fear will arise in your heart.' 'At this time, the wardens of Yama (the lord of hell) will bind you with ropes, hurriedly pulling you along a road of sharp blades. Lifting your feet and putting them down, they will be cut and wounded by the blades. And countless crows and vultures, Kurara birds (birds that make mournful sounds), and mad dogs will devour them. In the great hell, they will suffer extreme pain. In the road of sharp blades, there are also large thorns sixteen fingers long, and with each step, five hundred thorns will pierce into their feet, crying and wailing, saying: 'We sentient beings have all created sins because of love, and now we suffer such great pain, what should we do now?'' 'At this time, the wardens of Yama tell them: 'You have never given food to the Shramanas (monastics) in the past, nor have you heard the sound of the Dharma bell, nor have you circumambulated stupas and images (pagodas and statues of Buddha).' At this time, these sinners tell the wardens of Yama: 'Because of our sins, we do not understand or respect the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha (the Three Jewels of Buddhism), and we are always far away from them.' The wardens tell them: 'You are now suffering the consequences of your own evil deeds.' The wardens then... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
