English version The Sutra of the Eleven-Faced Avalokiteśvara Dhāraṇī Spoken by the Buddha Translated by Yěshé Jūduō (Jñānagupta), a Tripiṭaka Master from India, during the Yuwen Dynasty of the Zhou Dynasty Thus have I heard. At one time, the Buddha was in Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa (Vulture Peak) in Rājagṛha (Royal City), surrounded by a great assembly of immeasurable bodhisattva-mahāsattvas (great beings). At that time, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva (the Bodhisattva of Compassion), surrounded by countless virtuous and holy beings who uphold mantras, came to the Buddha's abode. Upon arriving, he prostrated himself with his five limbs touching the ground, paying homage to the Buddha's feet. After paying homage, he circumambulated the Buddha three times and then sat to one side. Then, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva (Avalokiteśvara) said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One, I have a heart mantra called the Eleven-Faced (Ekādaśamukha), which has been spoken by eleven billion Buddhas. I now speak it for the sake of all sentient beings, to cause all sentient beings to contemplate good dharmas, to cause all sentient beings to be free from sorrow and affliction, to remove all diseases of sentient beings, to eliminate all obstacles, calamities, strange occurrences, and bad dreams, to remove all untimely deaths, to subdue and soften all those with evil intentions, and to prevent all demons and evil spirits from causing obstacles. World-Honored One, I have never seen any deva (god), māra (demon), Brahmā (Brahma), Śakra (Indra), śrāmaṇa (ascetic), or brāhmaṇa (Brahmin) who can uphold such a mantra. Whether they read, recite, write, or propagate it, or use this mantra to protect their bodies, or use this mantra to consecrate water to bathe their bodies, or enter into battle, or are poisoned, by reciting this mantra, all misfortunes will be unable to harm them, except for past karmic retributions. This mantra is contemplated by all Buddhas, and this mantra is spoken by all Buddhas. World-Honored One, I recall that beyond countless kalpas (aeons) like the sands of the Ganges River, there was a Buddha named Śata-padma-locana-śikhā-pratihata-guṇa-prabhāsa-rāja-tathāgata (the Tathāgata King of Light of Unobstructed Merit, with a Hundred Lotus Eyes on His Crown). At that time, I was in that Buddha's presence, as the king among the great mantra-holding immortals, and only then did I obtain this mantra. When I obtained this mantra, ten' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version All Buddhas in the ten directions can see you directly. Having seen the Buddha, one suddenly obtains the Anutpattika-dharmakshanti (无生法忍, the insight into the non-arising of all dharmas). Know that this mantra has such divine power and can also benefit immeasurable sentient beings. Therefore, know, good men and good women, that if you can diligently recite this mantra day and night, without forgetting it, and without thinking of other things while reciting it, and bathe your body in the morning, or if you cannot bathe, rinse your mouth and wash your hands, and recite this mantra one hundred and eight times, the one who holds this mantra will receive ten kinds of rewards in this very life. What are the ten? First, the body is always free from illness. Second, one is constantly remembered by all the Buddhas in the ten directions. Third, all wealth, clothing, and food are naturally abundant and never lacking. Fourth, one can destroy all enemies. Fifth, one can cause all sentient beings to generate loving-kindness. Sixth, all poisons and all feverish diseases cannot harm one. Seventh, all swords and staves cannot cause harm. Eighth, all water disasters cannot drown one. Ninth, all fire disasters cannot burn one. Tenth, one will not suffer any untimely death. These are called the ten rewards. In this very life, one also obtains four kinds of rewards. What are the four? First, at the time of death, one will see immeasurable Buddhas in the ten directions. Second, one will never fall into hell. Third, one will not be harmed by any birds or beasts. Fourth, after death, one will be reborn in Sukhavati (无量寿国, the Land of Ultimate Bliss). World Honored One, I remember passing through kalpas (劫, eons) as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, and again passing through kalpas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, and again passing through immeasurable kalpas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River. At that time, there was a Buddha named Mandaragandha Tathagata (曼陀罗香如来). I was an Upasaka (优婆塞, a male lay devotee) in the presence of that Buddha. From that Buddha, I obtained this mantra. Having obtained this mantra, I transcended the boundary of birth and death in forty thousand kalpas. When reciting this mantra, I obtained the wisdom treasury dharma-gate of great loving-kindness, great compassion, great joy, and great equanimity of all Buddhas. By the power of this dharma-gate, I can save all sentient beings, all those imprisoned in jails, bound by fetters and yokes, facing execution, and suffering from water, fire, and other calamities. I constantly protect them and enable them to be liberated. All Yakshas (夜叉, a type of guardian deity) and Rakshasas (罗刹, a type of demon), by the power of this mantra, cause these Rakshasas to generate good hearts, perfect their merits, and immediately generate the Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta (阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心, the mind of unsurpassed, complete, and perfect enlightenment). My divine mantra has such power. Suppose someone has committed the four Parajikas (波罗夷, the four root downfalls) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

及五逆罪。能读诵此咒一遍者。一切根本重罪悉得除灭。诵此咒者有如是功德。况复有人依此经教受持咒者。当知是人于万万亿那由他那由他诸佛所。曾闻此法今还得闻。况复受持读诵昼夜不忘者。是人若心所念者我满其愿。若复有人于十四日朝或十五日。以香汤洗浴其身着新净衣。一上厕一洗浴。如此净衣不得上厕。行此法时竟日不食至于明旦。其道场中置观世音像悬杂色幡盖香华供养。初入道场时。必须殷重至心。诸十方诸佛殷勤忏悔。忏悔已讫在于像前。敷一坐具胡跪恭敬。至心诵持此咒。行此法者当知是人。得四万劫离生死际。世尊我观世音菩萨名字难可得闻。若复有人称十万亿诸佛名字。或复有人称观世音菩萨名字者。彼二人福正等无异。 尔时观世音菩萨。白佛言世尊。若善男子善女人及一切众生。昼夜殷勤称我名者。皆得阿毗跋致地。现身得离一切苦恼。一切障难一切怖畏。及三业罪悉得除灭。况复有人依此经教如法修行。当知是人即得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心如在掌中。佛告观世音菩萨摩诃萨言。善哉善哉善男子。汝乃能于一切众生起大慈大悲心。善男子当知汝等以此神力。救护一切众生。必得成就阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心无有疑也。佛告观世音菩萨摩诃萨言善男子如此神咒。我亦受持我亦印可。 现代汉语译本 以及犯下五逆罪（杀父、杀母、杀阿罗汉、出佛身血、破和合僧）的人，如果能够读诵此咒一遍，一切根本重罪都能够消除灭尽。诵持此咒的人有如此功德，更何况有人依照此经教受持此咒呢？应当知道这个人在万万亿那由他（极大的数量单位）诸佛处，曾经听闻此法，如今才能够再次听闻。更何况受持读诵，昼夜不忘的人呢？这个人心中所念的，我（观世音菩萨）会满足他的愿望。如果有人在十四日早上或者十五日，用香汤洗浴身体，穿上新的干净衣服，每次上厕所后都要洗浴，这样穿的干净衣服不得再上厕所。行此法时，整日不吃东西直到第二天早上。在他的道场中，安置观世音菩萨像，悬挂各种颜色的幡盖，用香和花供养。刚进入道场时，必须殷重至诚，向十方诸佛殷勤忏悔。忏悔完毕后，在佛像前铺设一个坐具，胡跪恭敬，至诚诵持此咒。行此法的人，应当知道这个人能够脱离四万劫的生死轮回。世尊，我观世音菩萨的名字难以听闻，如果有人称念十万亿诸佛的名字，或者有人称念观世音菩萨的名字，这两个人的福德相等没有差别。 这时，观世音菩萨对佛说：‘世尊，如果善男子、善女人以及一切众生，昼夜殷勤称念我的名字，都能够得到阿毗跋致地（不退转地），现世就能够脱离一切苦恼、一切障碍、一切怖畏，以及身、口、意三业的罪过，都能够消除灭尽。更何况有人依照此经教如法修行，应当知道这个人就能够得到阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心（无上正等正觉之心），如同在掌握之中。’佛告诉观世音菩萨摩诃萨（大菩萨）说：‘善哉！善哉！善男子，你能够对一切众生发起大慈大悲心。善男子，应当知道你们凭借这种神力，救护一切众生，必定能够成就阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心，没有怀疑。’佛告诉观世音菩萨摩诃萨说：‘善男子，如此神咒，我也受持，我也印可。’
