English version: Dhṛtarāṣṭra (Guardian King of the East) said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, I also, by the power of the Buddha, proclaim the longevity-extending dhāraṇī, which is as follows:' 'Oṃ vajra-yuṣe vimala vava vava svāhā' 'Having spoken this dhāraṇī, it enables all sentient beings to obtain a vajra-like lifespan, free from untimely and violent death.' At that time, the Buddha told the Four Heavenly Kings: 'If there are sentient beings who fear death, suffering from illness, and untimely or violent death, and experience such suffering, they should simply write this sutra, receive, uphold, read, and recite it, or separately uphold this dhāraṇī, or draw an image of Samantabhadra (Universal Worthy) Longevity Extender. Following this method, on the first, eighth, and fifteenth days of each month, establish a maṇḍala, light forty-nine lamps, and place sixteen offerings each of flowers, incense, fruits, and medicine, scattering them on the altar. Join your palms in reverence, loudly praise and chant this dhāraṇī, and repent of past transgressions, so as not to fall into the three evil realms. After abandoning this body, they will obtain a vajra-like lifespan and no longer be reborn in the cycle of reincarnation. If there are bhikṣus (monks), bhikṣuṇīs (nuns), and the fourfold assembly (monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen) who transmit and read this sutra without forgetting, they will be free from the fear of short life and untimely death, as well as nightmares, bewitchment, curses, hideous rākṣasas (demons), ominous bird calls, and all kinds of strange occurrences. They will also not be harmed by water, fire, weapons, or poison. All Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas will embrace, protect, and remember them, and they will also receive the protection of all Buddhas.' At that time, after the World Honored One finished speaking this sutra, the Bodhisattvas Mahāsattvas, the fourfold assembly of gods and humans, and Vaiśravaṇa (Guardian King of the North), along with all the great assembly, were all greatly delighted, believed, accepted, and practiced it.
