;复次一者,其人未来常生刹利王家;二者,其人具足色力、寿乐、辞辩;三者,其人常生诸佛菩萨前;四者,其人所在之处,伏藏自现;五者,其人恒得他人恭敬侍接;六者,其人所有财宝,无能夺者;七者,其人意欲所愿,悉得称遂;八者,其人不随饥俭劫难生;九者,常生天上,受尊胜乐;十者,常以法喜、禅悦,无饥渴。是为二十种大福德聚。善男子!此陀罗尼威德自在。若视饥渴人,面诵之,即得饱满;若咒枯树,尚得生枝;何咒有情,不蒙其福?最故,我今殷勤三说,嘱累于汝。汝当忆持,为众生说,勿便忘失。”   尔时,月爱菩萨从佛得闻此方便法,欢喜踊跃,即以毗楞伽摩尼珠、璎珞,及诸花、香,而散佛上。即于佛前以偈赞曰: “大悲观世音,  迦陵频伽音,  以众巧言辞,  开示甘露法。  为欲悉摧伏,  广大业山故,  以此方便门,  殷勤付属我。  我依佛严教,  堪能广流布,  唯愿法中生,  草复以为卢。”   佛说此经已,一切众菩萨摩诃萨、金刚力士、释梵四镇、天龙鬼神,闻佛如来赞说此“亲那毕利多甘露味法陀罗尼”,皆悉欢喜,奉教修行。   施饿鬼甘露味陀罗尼神咒经   南无 步补利(一) 怛他羯哆耶(二) 唵(三) 现代汉语译本: 再者,第一,这个人未来常常出生在刹利王(Kshatriya,古印度社会四种姓之一,指武士阶层)的家庭;第二,这个人具备美好的容貌、强大的力量、长寿的生命和快乐、以及雄辩的口才;第三,这个人常常出生在诸佛菩萨的面前;第四,这个人所居住的地方,自然涌现伏藏(地下宝藏);第五,这个人经常得到他人的恭敬侍奉和接待;第六,这个人的所有财宝,没有人能够抢夺;第七,这个人心中所希望的愿望,全部都能如愿以偿;第八,这个人不会遭遇饥荒和劫难;第九,常常出生在天上,享受尊贵殊胜的快乐;第十,常常以佛法的喜悦和禅定的快乐为食,没有饥饿和干渴。这就是二十种大的福德聚集。善男子!这个陀罗尼(Dharani,总持,以简短的咒语总摄佛法的精要)具有威德和自在的力量。如果对着饥饿干渴的人,面对着他诵念这个陀罗尼,就能立刻得到饱满;如果对着枯萎的树木持咒,尚且能够让它生出枝条;何况是对有情众生持咒,怎么会不蒙受它的福报呢?因此,我现在殷勤地说了三遍,嘱托于你。你应当牢记在心,为众生宣说,不要轻易忘记丧失。 当时,月爱菩萨(Chandra-prabha Bodhisattva)从佛那里听闻了这个方便法门,欢喜踊跃,立刻用毗楞伽摩尼珠(Vaidurya,一种宝石)、璎珞(项链),以及各种花和香,散在佛的身上。然后在佛的面前用偈颂赞叹说: ‘大悲观世音(Mahākaruṇā Avalokiteśvara),具有迦陵频伽(Kalaviṅka,妙音鸟)般美妙的声音,用各种巧妙的言辞,开示甘露法(Amrita,不死之药,比喻佛法)。为了完全摧伏广大的业力之山,因此将这个方便法门,殷勤地嘱托给我。我依靠佛的严厉教诲,能够广泛地流布这个法门,只希望在佛法中,即使是草也能变成茅屋。’ 佛说完这部经后,一切的菩萨摩诃萨(Bodhisattva-mahāsattva,大菩萨)、金刚力士(Vajra-pani,手持金刚杵的护法神)、释梵四镇(帝释天、大梵天和四大天王)、天龙鬼神,听闻佛如来赞叹宣说这个‘亲那毕利多甘露味法陀罗尼’,都非常欢喜,信奉教诲并修行。 施饿鬼甘露味陀罗尼神咒经 南无(Namo,皈依) 步补利(一) 怛他羯哆耶(二) 唵(三)

English version: Moreover, firstly, this person will often be reborn into the family of a Kshatriya king (Kshatriya, one of the four castes in ancient Indian society, referring to the warrior class); secondly, this person will possess beautiful appearance, great strength, long life and happiness, and eloquent speech; thirdly, this person will often be born in the presence of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas; fourthly, in the place where this person resides, hidden treasures (underground treasures) will naturally appear; fifthly, this person will always receive respectful service and reception from others; sixthly, no one will be able to seize all the wealth of this person; seventhly, all the wishes in this person's heart will be fulfilled; eighthly, this person will not encounter famine and calamities; ninthly, they will often be born in the heavens, enjoying noble and supreme happiness; tenthly, they will always be nourished by the joy of the Dharma and the bliss of meditation, without hunger and thirst. These are the twenty great accumulations of merit. Good man! This Dharani (Dharani, a concise mantra summarizing the essence of the Buddha's teachings) possesses the power of majesty and freedom. If you face a hungry and thirsty person and recite this Dharani, they will immediately be satisfied; if you chant this mantra over a withered tree, it can still sprout branches; how much more so when chanting it for sentient beings, how could they not receive its blessings? Therefore, I now earnestly say it three times and entrust it to you. You should keep it firmly in mind, proclaim it for sentient beings, and do not easily forget and lose it. At that time, Chandra-prabha Bodhisattva, having heard this expedient Dharma gate from the Buddha, rejoiced and danced with joy, and immediately scattered Vaidurya jewels (a type of gemstone), necklaces, and various flowers and incense upon the Buddha. Then, in front of the Buddha, he praised in verse, saying: 'Great Compassionate Avalokiteśvara, possessing the beautiful voice of a Kalaviṅka bird, using various skillful words, reveals the Amrita Dharma (Amrita, the elixir of immortality, a metaphor for the Buddha's teachings). In order to completely subdue the vast mountain of karma, therefore, this expedient Dharma gate is earnestly entrusted to me. I rely on the Buddha's strict teachings and am able to widely propagate this Dharma gate, only hoping that in the Dharma, even grass can become a hut.' After the Buddha finished speaking this Sutra, all the Bodhisattva-mahāsattvas (Great Bodhisattvas), Vajra-pani (Dharma protectors holding vajras), Śakra, Brahma, the Four Guardian Kings, devas, nagas, ghosts, and spirits, hearing the Tathagata Buddha praise and proclaim this 'Cintamani-cakra Amrita-rasa Dharani', were all very happy, accepted the teachings, and practiced accordingly.

English version Sarva prita karaya (4): Agaccha (5): Svaha. The Mudra Method: Stand with feet crossed. First, let the left hand hang down, palm up, between the knees, forming the gesture of fearlessness (Abhaya Mudra). Then, bend the thumb of the right hand into the palm, hold the other four fingers together, and raise them to the right earlobe, moving back and forth in a 'Moksha' gesture. Then, recite the mantra three times. At this time, visualize all hungry ghosts and the thirty-six classes of spirits gathering around the mantra reciter, with palms together, looking up in reverence at the practitioner. This [female*red] color mantra, if good men, women, boys, or girls receive, uphold, read, and recite it, they will manifest ten kinds of blessings in this life. What are the ten? First, poison cannot harm them; second, poisonous snakes dare not bite them; third, swords cannot injure them; fourth, government officials dare not be angry with them; fifth, everyone loves and respects them; sixth, gods and dragons constantly protect them; seventh, clothing and food are always abundant; eighth, their appearance is dignified and beautiful; ninth, they are forever free from the fear of hair standing on end; tenth, they will not be reborn in the three lower realms (hell, hungry ghost, animal). Om Bubhuri (1): Ghatri (2): Tathagataya. The Mudra Method: Follow the summoning mudra method above. Stand with feet together, join the ten fingers together, with the tips touching each other, leaving a gap of one inch between them, open the wrists, and place them at the heart. This is called the 'Great Compassion Heart Wheel [female*red] Color Mantra Method'. When forming this mudra, recite the mantra seven times. At this time, visualize a crystal Mani jewel on the mudra, emitting crystal light, illuminating and touching all the ghosts, so that all fierce fires cannot burn; this crystal light enters the mouths of all the ghosts, allowing their throats to breathe freely, and freeing them from all suffering. Namo Surupaye: Tathagataya (3): Tadyatha (2): Suru suru para suru (4): Svaha. The Mudra Method: Sit in the half-lotus position, like the posture of a Chakravartin (universal monarch). First, hold the right hand as if supporting the neck, about an inch away from the neck, with the elbow resting on the right knee. Then, place the right hand palm up, sideways, with the five fingers extended, hanging over the right knee, making the gesture of giving. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
