English version The Sutra of Buddha Speaking on Saving the Flaming Mouth Hungry Ghost Translated by the Tripitaka Master Bukong (Amoghavajra) of Daxingshan Temple, who was appointed by imperial decree as the Grand General of the Mansion, holding the Three Excellencies, Special Advancement, Acting Director of the Court of State Ceremonials, Duke of Su of the State, with an estate of three thousand households, bestowed with purple robes, posthumously awarded the title of Grand Minister of Works, with the posthumous title of Dajian and the honorary title of Greatly Wise. At that time, the World Honored One was in the Nigrodharama (Nigrodharama) of Kapilavastu (Kapilavastu), surrounded by many Bhikshus, Bodhisattvas, and countless assemblies, preaching the Dharma. At that time, Ananda (Ananda) was alone in a quiet place, contemplating the Dharma he had received. In the third watch of the night, he saw a hungry ghost named 'Flaming Mouth' (Yamaka), whose form was ugly, body emaciated, mouth ablaze with fire, throat as thin as a needle, hair disheveled, claws and teeth long and sharp, extremely frightening. It stood before Ananda and said, 'In three days, your life will end, and you will be reborn among the hungry ghosts.' When Ananda heard these words, he was terrified and asked the hungry ghost, 'If I am to be reborn as a hungry ghost after death, what means can I employ to escape this suffering?' At that time, the hungry ghost said to Ananda, 'If tomorrow you can give alms to hundreds of thousands of nayutas (nayuta, a unit of measurement meaning a hundred million) of Ganges sands (gangga sandhya, a unit of measurement describing a very large number) of hungry ghosts, as well as hundreds of thousands of Brahmanas (brahmanas) and immortals, each with a peck (hu, a unit of measurement) of food using the measure used in the country of Magadha (Magadha), and also make offerings to the Triple Jewel (triratna) for me, you will increase your lifespan, and I will be freed from the suffering of hungry ghosts and be reborn in the heavens.' Ananda saw this Flaming Mouth hungry ghost, its body weak and emaciated, withered and extremely ugly, its mouth ablaze with fire, its throat as thin as a needle, its hair disheveled, its hair and claws long and sharp, and he heard such inauspicious words, he was greatly frightened, and all the hairs on his body stood on end. He immediately rose from his seat, quickly went to the Buddha, prostrated himself with his five limbs on the ground, bowed at the Buddha's feet, his body trembling, and said to the Buddha, 'May you save me from suffering!' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

！所以者何？我住静处，念所授法，见焰口饿鬼，而语我言：‘汝过三日，必当命尽，生饿鬼中。’我即问言：‘云何令我得免斯苦？’饿鬼答言：‘汝今若能施于百千那由他恒河沙数饿鬼，及百千婆罗门仙等种种饮食，汝得增寿。’世尊！我今云何能办若干饿鬼、仙人等食？” 尔时，世尊告阿难言：“汝今勿怖！我有方便，令汝能施若干百千恒河沙饿鬼，及诸婆罗门仙等，种种饮食，勿生忧恼。” 佛告阿难：“有陀罗尼，名曰‘无量威德自在光明殊胜妙力’。若有诵此陀罗尼者，即能充足俱胝那由他百千恒河沙数饿鬼，及婆罗门仙等，上妙饮食。如是等众，乃至一一，皆得摩伽陀国所用之斛七七斛食。阿难！我于前世作婆罗门，于观世音菩萨所，及世间自在威德如来所，受此陀罗尼故，能散施与无量饿鬼及诸仙等种种饮食，令诸饿鬼解脱苦身、得生天上。阿难！汝今受持，福德、寿命皆得增长。” 尔时，世尊即为阿难说陀罗尼曰： “那谟 萨嚩 怛他蘖多(引) 嚩卢枳帝 唵 参婆啰 参婆啰 吽” 佛告阿难：“若有善男子、善女人，欲求长寿、福德增荣，速能满足檀波罗蜜，每于晨朝、及一切时，悉无障碍，取一净器，盛以净水，置少饭麨及诸饼食等，以右手加器， 现代汉语译本：‘这是什么缘故呢？’我住在安静的地方，念诵所受持的佛法，看见焰口饿鬼（Yankou Egui，燃烧着火焰的嘴的饿鬼），并告诉我：‘你过三天，必定寿命终结，转生到饿鬼道中。’我立即问道：‘怎样才能使我免除这种痛苦？’饿鬼回答说：‘你现在如果能布施给成百上千那由他（Nayuta，数量单位，意为万万）恒河沙数（Gangesha，恒河中的沙子的数量，形容极多）的饿鬼，以及成百上千的婆罗门仙人（Luomen Xianren，修行者）等等各种饮食，你就能增加寿命。’世尊（Shizun，对佛的尊称）！我现在怎么能办到供养这么多饿鬼、仙人等的食物呢？” 当时，世尊告诉阿难（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）说：‘你现在不要害怕！我有方便法门，能让你布施给成百上千恒河沙数的饿鬼，以及各位婆罗门仙人等各种饮食，不要产生忧愁烦恼。’ 佛告诉阿难：‘有一种陀罗尼（Tuoluoni，总持、真言），名叫‘无量威德自在光明殊胜妙力’。如果有人诵持这个陀罗尼，就能充分供给俱胝（Juzhi，数量单位，意为千万）那由他百千恒河沙数的饿鬼，以及婆罗门仙人等等，上等的美味饮食。像这些众生，乃至每一个，都能得到摩伽陀国（Magadha，古印度王国）所用的斛（Hu，计量单位）七七斛的食物。阿难！我在前世做婆罗门的时候，在观世音菩萨（Guanshiyin Pusa，佛教菩萨）那里，以及世间自在威德如来（Shijian Zizai Weide Rulai，佛名）那里，接受了这个陀罗尼，所以能够散布施舍给无量的饿鬼以及各位仙人等等各种饮食，让各位饿鬼解脱痛苦的身体、得以往生天上。阿难！你现在受持这个陀罗尼，福德、寿命都能得到增长。’ 当时，世尊就为阿难说了这个陀罗尼： ‘那谟 萨嚩 怛他蘖多(引) 嚩卢枳帝 唵 参婆啰 参婆啰 吽’ 佛告诉阿难：‘如果有善男子、善女人，想要祈求长寿、福德增荣，迅速能够圆满檀波罗蜜（Tan Poluomi，布施的最高境界），每天早晨、以及一切时候，都没有障碍，取一个干净的器皿，盛上干净的水，放入少许饭、炒面以及各种饼食等等，用右手加持器皿，

English version: ‘What is the reason for this?’ I dwell in a quiet place, reciting the Dharma I have received, and I saw a Flaming-Mouth Hungry Ghost (Yankou Egui), who told me: ‘In three days, your life will surely end, and you will be reborn in the realm of hungry ghosts.’ I immediately asked: ‘How can I be spared this suffering?’ The hungry ghost replied: ‘If you can now give to hundreds of thousands of Nayutas (Nayuta, a unit of measurement meaning ten million) of Ganges Sands (Gangesha, the number of sands in the Ganges River, describing an extremely large number) of hungry ghosts, and hundreds of thousands of Brahmin Immortals (Luomen Xianren), various kinds of food and drink, you will increase your lifespan.’ World Honored One (Shizun, a respectful title for the Buddha)! How can I now provide food for so many hungry ghosts, immortals, and others?’ At that time, the World Honored One told Ananda (Ananda, one of the Buddha's ten great disciples): ‘Do not be afraid now! I have a skillful means to enable you to give to hundreds of thousands of Ganges Sands of hungry ghosts, and various Brahmin Immortals, various kinds of food and drink, do not generate worry or distress.’ The Buddha told Ananda: ‘There is a Dharani (Tuoluoni, mantra), called ‘Unlimited Majestic Virtue, Self-Mastery, Radiant Light, Supreme Wonderful Power.’ If someone recites this Dharani, they will be able to fully provide for Kotis (Juzhi, a unit of measurement meaning ten million) of Nayutas of hundreds of thousands of Ganges Sands of hungry ghosts, and Brahmin Immortals, etc., with supreme and delicious food and drink. Such beings, even each one of them, will receive seven times seven pecks of food, using the peck (Hu, a unit of measurement) used in the country of Magadha (Magadha, an ancient Indian kingdom). Ananda! In my past life, when I was a Brahmin, I received this Dharani from Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva (Guanshiyin Pusa), and the Worldly Sovereign Majestic Virtue Thus Come One (Shijian Zizai Weide Rulai), so I was able to scatter and give to countless hungry ghosts and various immortals, various kinds of food and drink, allowing all the hungry ghosts to be liberated from their suffering bodies and be reborn in the heavens. Ananda! If you now receive and uphold this Dharani, your blessings and lifespan will both increase.’ At that time, the World Honored One then spoke this Dharani for Ananda: ‘Namo Sarva Tathagata Avalokite Om Sambhara Sambhara Hum’ The Buddha told Ananda: ‘If there are good men and good women who wish to seek longevity, increase their blessings and glory, and quickly fulfill the Dana Paramita (Tan Poluomi, the highest state of giving), every morning and at all times, without any obstacles, take a clean vessel, fill it with clean water, add a little rice flour and various cakes and foods, etc., and bless the vessel with your right hand, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Recite the Dhāraṇī seven times before chanting, and then recite the names of the Four Tathāgatas: 'Namo Bhagavate Prarajña-bhūta-ratna-Tathāgatāya (This is the Tathāgata Abundant Treasures)' By the power of chanting the name of Tathāgata Abundant Treasures (Tathāgata Ratna), one can break the stingy and evil karma of all ghosts from many lifetimes, and immediately obtain complete merit.

The Buddha told Ānanda: 'If good men and women of noble families, after chanting the names of the Four Tathāgatas and empowering the food, snap their fingers seven times, take a food container, and pour the food onto clean ground with outstretched arms. After making this offering, in the four directions, there will be hundreds of thousands of nayutas of Ganges River sands worth of hungry ghosts, each with seventy-seven斛 of food from the country of Magadha in front of them. After receiving this food, they will all be full, and these ghosts will all abandon their ghost bodies and be reborn in the heavens.' 'Ānanda!
