English version: It is named 'Earth Store Bodhisattva's Vow to Deliver All Sentient Beings'. Thus, uphold it. It is also named 'Great Extensive and Vast'. Thus, uphold it. It is also named 'Lion Light Samadhi' (a state of meditative concentration). It is also named 'Entering the Samadhi of Shame and Remorse in All Buddha Lands'. Thus, uphold it. It is also named 'Dharani Divine Mantra' (a mantra with miraculous power). Thus, uphold it. Now listen again to the methods of practice. The Buddha told Ananda (the Buddha's disciple): If there are sentient beings facing execution, handcuffs, shackles, imprisonment, illness, suffering, or possession by ghosts and demons, they should single-mindedly revere and pay homage to Earth Store Bodhisattva, recite his name, sincerely uphold this mantra, repent of their fundamental grave offenses, and generate the Bodhi mind (the mind of enlightenment). From this moment forward, until the end of the future, they should not kill, not steal, not engage in sexual misconduct, not lie, not drink alcohol, not eat meat, and not eat the five pungent vegetables. They should receive the Three Accumulative Precepts (three kinds of precepts). What are the three? The Precept of Accumulating Good Dharmas, the Precept of Benefiting Sentient Beings, and the Precept of Maintaining Discipline. Until they attain Bodhi, they should take refuge in the Triple Jewel (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), and not take refuge in the ninety-six kinds of heretical and deviant paths. The Buddha further told Ananda: If there are Bhikshus (ordained monks), Bhikshunis (ordained nuns), Upasakas (lay male devotees), and Upasikas (lay female devotees) who uphold this mantra, keep their dwellings clean, establish a Dharma practice place, hang banners and canopies, spread fragrant mud on the ground, burn incense, scatter flowers, recite the name of Earth Store Bodhisattva, sincerely revere and pay homage, and recite this mantra, even if they have committed the Five Heinous Offenses (killing one's father, killing one's mother, killing an Arhat, disrupting the Sangha, shedding the blood of a Buddha), the Ten Evil Deeds (killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, divisive speech, harsh speech, idle chatter, greed, hatred, wrong views), the Four Grave Prohibitions (the four fundamental precepts for monks), and the Eight Prohibitions (the Eight Precepts), if these offenses cannot be eradicated, there is no possibility. However, if one lacks sincerity, slanders the scriptures, steals the property of the Sangha, or even steals the property of a single Bhikshu, the merit of this scripture cannot cover it. If someone upholds, recites, and reads this scripture and Dharani mantra, even if there are flying corpse ghosts, lurking corpse ghosts, or strange bird calls and all kinds of evil phenomena, they will all be eliminated. At that time, Vaishravana (a guardian deity in Buddhism), prostrated at the Buddha's feet and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, if there are those who uphold, recite, and read this scripture and Dharani mantra, I shall protect them and cover them with my power. If there are sentient beings who believe in heretical views, or worship the Northern God, the Nine Children Mother Goddess, the Asura God, the Kitchen God, the Local Earth God, falsely claiming to be deceased ancestors, with such heretical views, I will cause these people to be restless in their movements and dwellings, and have nightmares. I beseech the World Honored One to allow me to uphold this scripture.' The Buddha said: 'Excellent, excellent! You are greatly compassionate and immeasurably benefit sentient beings. I rejoice in your joy.' After the Buddha finished speaking this scripture, Brahma (the lord of the Form Realm), Indra (the lord of the Desire Realm), the Four Heavenly Kings (the Four Guardian Kings), Bodhisattva Mahasattvas (great Bodhisattvas), and all the great assembly, including Ananda, heard what the Buddha had said and joyfully practiced it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
