English
English version The merit of offering to hundreds of thousands of kotis (koti: an ancient Indian unit of counting, meaning ten million) of Tathagatas is equal and undifferentiated. It prolongs life, increases physical strength and vigor, perfects good roots, and prevents harm from all non-humans (non-humans: referring to Devas, Nagas, etc.), Yakshas (Yakshas: a type of spirit), Rakshasas (Rakshasas: a type of demon), and various evil ghosts and spirits. It also enables the achievement of immeasurable merit and longevity. ‘If you wish to give to Brahmin ascetics, etc., fill a clean vessel with pure food and drink, then empower it with the aforementioned mantra fourteen times (two sets of seven), and cast it into clean flowing water. Having done this, it is equivalent to offering celestial, exquisite food to hundreds of thousands of kotis of Ganges-sand-number (Ganges-sand-number: describing an extremely large quantity) of Brahmin ascetics. Because those ascetics receive the blessed food, by the power and virtue of the mantra, each achieves their fundamental wishes and various virtuous merits. Each simultaneously makes a vow, saying: ‘May this person who gives the food have prolonged life, physical strength, and happiness; and may this person's mind, in what it sees and hears, have correct understanding and purity, fully achieving the majesty of Brahma (Brahma: the Hindu god of creation) and practicing the conduct of Brahma. Furthermore, it is equivalent to offering to hundreds of thousands of Ganges-sand-number of Tathagatas, and all enemies will be unable to harm them.’ ‘If a Bhikshu (Bhikshu: a Buddhist monk), Bhikshuni (Bhikshuni: a Buddhist nun), Upasaka (Upasaka: a lay Buddhist man), or Upasika (Upasika: a lay Buddhist woman) wishes to make offerings to the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, they should use incense, flowers, and pure food and drink, empower them with the aforementioned mantra twenty-one times, and offer them to the Triple Gem. This good man or good woman is then equivalent to offering celestial delicacies and supreme flavors to the Buddhas, Dharma, and Sangha filling the ten directions, and is also equivalent to praising, requesting, and rejoicing in merit. They are constantly remembered and praised by all Buddhas, and the benevolent gods of the heavens constantly come to protect them, thus fulfilling the Dana Paramita (Dana Paramita: the perfection of giving).’ ‘Ananda (Ananda: one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha)! Follow my words, practice according to the Dharma, widely proclaim and disseminate it, so that all sentient beings may universally see and hear it, and obtain immeasurable blessings. This sutra is named the ‘Dharani Sutra for Saving the Flaming-Mouth Hungry Ghosts and Suffering Beings’; with this name, you should uphold it.’ The entire assembly, including Ananda and others, having heard the Buddha's words, wholeheartedly believed and accepted them, and joyfully practiced accordingly.
