English version: Brahmanas and others should recite the secret Dharani (总持) Dharma (法) gate in the scriptures. With the three kinds of Brahma-conduct (梵行) (pure actions of body, speech, and mind), they should recite the scriptures and not speak evil words. Their minds should not harbor evil intentions, and their bodies should be free from the defilements of the five desires. They must not live in the same place with five kinds of Candala (旃陀罗) women (women engaged in lowly professions). They must not associate with the five thousand followers of heretical hunters, nor speak with widows. They must not stay overnight in taverns. They must not debate with heretics on all scriptures, engage in disputes, slander the True Dharma, or seek any gain. If good men and good women make offerings to the honored images, they must not eat the food themselves, or their precepts will be broken. Giving to poor children will bring immeasurable blessings. They must not eat the leftovers of laypeople or monks. They must not eat the food from homes that contain the five pungent spices (garlic, onions, etc.), wine, or meat. If good men and good women eat these foods, their precepts of upholding and reciting will be broken. They will not be called upholders and reciters, their divine power will be lost, and they will incur the sin of false speech. When this Dharma is spoken, Ananda (阿难) Bhikshus (比丘), Bhikshunis (比丘尼), the Four Heavenly Kings, the Nagas (天龙), ghosts and spirits of the eight divisions, Gandharvas (乾闼婆, celestial musicians), Garudas (伽楼罗, a kind of large golden-winged bird), Kinnaras (紧那罗, a kind of half-human, half-animal musician), Mahoragas (摩睺罗伽, a kind of large serpent deity), Upasakas (优婆塞, male lay devotees), Upasikas (优婆夷, female lay devotees), five hundred Brahmanas, and the Thirty-three Heavens, Brahma Kings, Indra (帝释, the lord of gods), Rakshasas (罗伽, demons), humans and non-humans, and the Wheel-Turning Sage Kings, all rejoiced greatly upon hearing what the Buddha said, and all attained Anutpattika-dharma-kshanti (无生法忍, the realization of the non-arising of all dharmas), immediately attaining the Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta (阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心, the mind of unsurpassed, complete, and perfect enlightenment), and all attained Buddhahood. At that time, the World Honored One spoke of the method of making images. All the great Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas (菩萨摩诃萨, great Bodhisattvas) of the past, future, and present in the ten directions and three times, in the hundreds of thousands of millions, all came to assemble. Hundreds of thousands of Vajra (金刚) Treasury Kings all came to assemble. Hundreds of thousands of the Twenty-eight Yaksha (药叉, a kind of guardian deity) Heavenly Kings all came to assemble. Hundreds of thousands of Incense Heavenly Kings all came to assemble. Hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Yaksha Kings all came to assemble.

Hundreds of thousands of Great Wind Heavenly Kings all came to assemble. Hundreds of thousands of Great Thunder Heavenly Kings all came to assemble.

The Buddhas of the ten directions and three times emitted great compassionate light, reaching down to Avici Hell. The beings in the six realms, having seen this light and color, all recited the Buddha, recited the Dharma, and recited the Sangha, attaining unsurpassed Bodhi. The assembled gathering wished to hear about the image-making of the Buddhas of the three times. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
