English version The Sutra of the Dhāraṇī of the Holy Supreme Lamp Light Tathāgata Spoken by the Buddha Translated by the Tripiṭaka Dharma Master Śramaṇa Śīlapāla, bestowed with the Purple Robe, from the Uḍḍiyāna country of North India, at the Emperor's Palace Temple. Thus have I heard. At one time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park in Śrāvastī (Śrāvastī). He was with a great assembly of twelve hundred and fifty Bhikṣus, and hundreds of thousands of countless humans, devas, and Bodhisattvas. They respectfully surrounded him as he expounded the Dharma. At that time, hundreds of thousands of koṭis (koṭi, a unit of measurement in India, meaning ten million) of Buddha-lands (buddhakṣetra, the land where a Buddha teaches) went to the world of Limitless Flowers (Anantapuṣpa-loka). The Supreme Lamp Light Tathāgata (Śreṣṭhatama-pradīpa-prabhāsa-tathāgata), the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One (arhat samyak-saṃbuddha), manifested, resided, walked, and taught the Dharma there. There were two Bodhisattvas there, one named Great Light (Mahāprabha) and the other named Limitless Light (Aprameyaprabha). At that time, that Buddha sent these two Bodhisattvas to the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park in the Sahā world (Sahā-lokadhātu), to visit Śākyamuni Tathāgata (Śākyamuni-tathāgata), the Perfectly and Completely Enlightened One (samyak-saṃbuddha). Having arrived, they bowed their heads to the feet of the World-Honored One and sat to one side. These two Bodhisattvas said to the World-Honored One: 'Passing through hundreds of thousands of koṭis of Buddha-lands from our Buddha-land, there is a world called Limitless Flowers. The Buddha there is named the Supreme Lamp Light Tathāgata, Worthy of Offerings, the Perfectly and Completely Enlightened One, who now resides there, constantly expounding the wonderful Dharma. That World-Honored One, the Supreme Lamp Light Tathāgata, the Perfectly and Completely Enlightened One, has sent us to the Sahā world to inquire whether the World-Honored One has few illnesses and afflictions, whether your strength is light and agile, and whether you dwell in happiness. He said this. Furthermore, for those who are disturbed and afflicted by non-humans (amanuṣya), bhūtas (bhūta, ghosts), piśācas (piśāca, flesh-eating demons), yakṣas (yakṣa, night demons), rākṣasas (rākṣasa, demons), kumbhāṇḍas (kumbhāṇḍa, pot-shaped ghosts), kumbhāṇḍa generals (kumbhāṇḍa-senāpati), royal laws, thieves, snakes, scorpions, malignant sores, insects, ants, karṇabūpava-kṛmis, and so on, that World-Honored One, the Supreme Lamp Light Tathāgata, Worthy of Offerings, the Perfectly and Completely Enlightened One, has spoken this Dhāraṇī mantra chapter and verse, which is renowned in the ten directions, and has therefore sent us here to benefit and bring happiness to all sentient beings, to make their faces joyful, their appearances complete, and their bodies and minds peaceful, and to protect them with the power of this secret merit.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 有情。即说陀罗尼曰。

English version: For sentient beings, the Buddha speaks the following Dharani: 'Tadyatha jvala jvaladite huka mukha samati maha samati maha jvala jvalame sarisare maha jvala uke suke tame samati maha samati maha same svaha' At that time, the World Honored One told the Venerable Ananda: 'Listen carefully now. This Dharani verse is very rare. Receive, uphold, recite, and explain it to others. This Amuni Dharani is difficult to encounter even when a Buddha appears in the world. If there are virtuous men and virtuous women who hear, receive, uphold, and explain it to others, they will attain the power of remembering past lives (Purva-nivasasmrti), seeing the events of their past seven lives. All afflictions will be eliminated, and all past karma will not be suffered.' 'Furthermore, Ananda, this Dharani mantra verse is jointly proclaimed by seventy-seven koti Buddhas. If all sentient beings hear this Dharani verse but do not believe in it and even slander it, they are equivalent to slandering seventy-seven koti Buddhas.' At that time, Ajita Bodhisattva-Mahasattva immediately rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, and, with palms joined, addressed the Buddha, saying: 'World Honored One, I also wish to proclaim a Dharani mantra verse for the benefit and happiness of all sentient beings. I will use this secret mantra to protect sentient beings, increase their supreme merit, and enhance their pleasing appearance.' Then he spoke the following Dharani: 'Tadyatha adhuvadhu nadhu maha kunadhu akshvaksika' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At that time, the World-Honored One told the Venerable Ananda (one of the ten major disciples of the Buddha): 'Listen carefully now. This Mani Dharani (Jewel Dharani) verse is extremely rare. You should receive, uphold, recite, and explain it to others. It is also very rare for a Buddha to appear in the world.' 'Furthermore, Ananda, if a son or daughter of a good family hears this Dharani verse, and if they receive, uphold, chant, recite, and explain it, they will attain the power of remembering past lives (Purva-nivasasmrti-jnana), seeing the events of their past lives in the twelve realms of existence, and all past karmas will no longer be endured.' 'Furthermore, Ananda, this Dharani verse is proclaimed together by eighty kotis (koti, an Indian unit of counting, one koti equals ten million) of Buddhas. If anyone slanders this Dharani, it is the same as slandering eighty kotis of Buddhas, without any difference.' At that time, Manjusri (symbol of wisdom) Bodhisattva, arose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, and with palms joined respectfully said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One, I will also speak this Dharani verse for the benefit and happiness of all sentient beings, using this secret, supremely powerful force to protect sentient beings, increase their radiance, and make their bodies and minds joyful.' Then he spoke the Dharani, saying: Tadyatha, A-gei-me-gei, Na-er-ni, Na-ga-la-si, Na-hi-li, Na-hi-li, Re-hi-la-zan-ni, Zan-na-li, Zan-na-la-wa-di, Svaha. At that time, the World-Honored One told the Venerable Ananda: 'Listen carefully now. Ananda, this Dharani verse is difficult to obtain and extremely rare. You should receive, uphold, recite, and explain it to others.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
