English version There is no doubt that one can achieve Buddhahood by relying on the root. The commentary explains that the initial mantra breaks the afflictions, and the six-syllable mantra breaks the karmic retribution. Each has scriptural proof. Because these three mantras can each break the three obstacles, they can be discussed interchangeably. Now that you have a general understanding, you should consider and plan for yourself. Among the ten types of people, to which position does your mind belong? Which obstacle do you want to eliminate? What do you hope to achieve? Furthermore, eliminating obstacles should start with the most severe. If the most severe obstacle is eliminated, the lighter ones will disappear along with it. Resolve to be diligent and do not doubt yourself. Are the true Dharma seals of the Buddhas of the three worlds false? When about to recite the mantra, first kneel facing each other, join palms, and with one mind and one intention, recite the names of the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) and Avalokiteśvara (Guanshiyin) three times (the commentary says that reciting the Three Jewels three times represents the elimination of the three obstacles, and the voices of the assembly should rise and fall together at the same time, without causing noisy confusion that disturbs the mind). Namo Buddha (Homage to the Buddha), Namo Dharma (Homage to the Dharma), Namo Sangha (Homage to the Sangha). Namo Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Homage to Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, the great Bodhisattva). The Greatly Compassionate and Renowned One who Saves from Suffering and Calamities (after reciting three times, recite again): 'May you save me from suffering and calamities, may your great compassion cover all, may you universally emit pure and bright light, may you eliminate the darkness of ignorance, in order to avoid the suffering of poison and harm, afflictions and all diseases, may you surely come to my place, bestow upon me great peace and happiness, I now bow my head and pay homage to the one who saves from calamities upon hearing their name, I now take refuge in the compassionate father of the world, may you surely come and free me from the suffering of the three poisons, bestow upon me happiness in this life, and great Nirvana.' (Recite three times. However, these four verses, the first two are the formal request, and the last two are the conclusion. Within the request, there are two parts: the first verse is the general request, and the second verse is the specific request. The first verse is further divided into two parts: the first phrase is only a request for oneself, and the following three phrases are universally for oneself and others. The 'suffering and calamities' refer to the ailments of the six senses. 'Cover all' refers to covering the ten realms. 'Universally emit' is a request to emit the light of great wisdom to eliminate the darkness of ignorance. Next is the specific request, specifically marking the three obstacles. 'Suffering of poison and harm' refers to karmic obstacles. The two obstacles are as described in the text. 'Great happiness' is Nirvana, and Nirvana is the three virtues. The three virtues can break the three obstacles. The next two lines are the concluding request, as described in the text. The meaning of 'compassionate father' and so on needs further exploration. The commentary says that those who recite these four verses well can become the cause for transforming obstacles, and also the foundation for entering into corresponding contemplation. Therefore, it is necessary to have a slight understanding, and it is still necessary to understand each one according to the meaning of the commentary. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Ten kinds of practitioners. (The following scriptures praise the substance and function of the mantra. When reciting, visualize offering to the Buddha). Reporting to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, such a divine mantra is certainly auspicious. It is the Dharani seal of great compassion of all Buddhas of the past, present, and future in the ten directions. Those who hear this mantra will have all suffering cease forever, constantly attain peace and happiness, stay away from the eight difficulties, attain the Samadhi of Buddha-Recitation, and see the Buddha appear before them. I shall now speak of the divine mantra of the Buddhas of the ten directions who rescue and protect sentient beings.' 'Tad-yata, wu hu ni, mo hu ni, dou po ni, dan po ni, an tu li, pan tu li, shou pi di, ban ban tu la la, po si ni, ta die ta, yi li, mei li, ti shou li, jia po li, qie ti duan qi, zhan tuo li mo deng qi, laksha laksha, sarva sattva (all sentient beings), sarva bhaya bhi svaha (may all fears be eliminated).' (Recite three or seven times, then conclude the sutra) Reporting to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, such a divine mantra is proclaimed by the countless Buddhas of the ten directions and the three periods of time. Those who recite and uphold this mantra will always be protected by all Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas, be freed from fear, weapons, poisons, and all kinds of diseases, and be free from suffering.' When these words were spoken, the people of Vaishali (Vaishali) recovered as before. (Rise, bow, and kneel again as usual). Next, recite the Dharani (Dharani) for breaking evil karmic obstacles. At this time, the World Honored One, out of compassion for sentient beings and to protect all, again requested Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva (Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva) to speak the mantra for subduing and eliminating poisons. At that time, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, with great compassion in his heart, relying on the Buddha's divine power, spoke the Dharani mantra for breaking evil karma and subduing and eliminating poisons. 'Namo Buddhaya (Namo Buddhaya, Homage to the Buddha), Namo Dharmaya (Namo Dharmaya, Homage to the Dharma), Namo Sanghaya (Namo Sanghaya, Homage to the Sangha). Namo Avalokiteśvaraya Bodhisattva Mahasattvaya (Namo Avalokiteśvaraya Bodhisattva Mahasattvaya, Homage to Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahasattva), with great compassion. May you have compassion on me, rescue me from suffering, and also rescue all fearful sentient beings, so that they may obtain great protection.' 'Tad-yata, tuo hu ni, mo hu ni, dou po ni, dan po ni.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
