English version: It is the same until the seventh seventh day (referring to the forty-ninth day). *Fu Xing Ji* says: 'I believe that the four seasons (referring to spring, summer, autumn, and winter) must follow the usual rituals and cannot be abandoned.' This is a complete explanation of 'correct intention'. Encouragement to Practice, Chapter Three *Zhi Guan* asks: 'The above three samadhis (referring to three types of meditation) all have encouragements to practice. Why is this one the only one without it?' The answer is: 'The six obscurations (referring to greed, hatred, ignorance, pride, doubt, and wrong views) are not the path to liberation. If one further encourages practice, it deviates even more from the purpose.' Why is encouragement to practice established now in particular, violating the principles of *Zhi Guan*? However, following one's own intention, generally discussing practice using four methods, what harm is there in encouraging good deeds? The purpose of not encouraging practice has already been explained in the answer. Now, it is based on the method of the scriptures. In the scriptures, the Buddha personally encourages practice, which has nothing to do with human affairs. The scripture says: 'This Dharani (mantra) is called the Crown-Anointing Verse, the supreme Brahma-caryā (pure conduct), certainly auspicious, and a great ocean of merit. Sentient beings who hear it will obtain great benefits and should recite it secretly (the commentary points to this as encouragement to practice).' One scripture fully praises the Great Compassionate Giver of Fearlessness (referring to Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva). Recitation of the Buddha Samadhi is a treasure banner of merit. Those who wish to see Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva manifest in person, who wish to see the unparalleled form of Shakyamuni Buddha, who wish to see countless Buddhas on the tip of a hair, who wish to see eighty billion Buddhas come to bestow their hands in this life, in order to obtain the merit of great compassion and fearlessness, and even to generate the Unforgettable Revolving Dharani in this life, all good wishes can be fulfilled, and in future lives, they will be born before the Buddha and forever be separated from suffering. Praising good deeds in this way, causing people to uphold this mantra, can eliminate the three obstacles (referring to karmic obstacles, retributive obstacles, and afflictive obstacles). The people of Vaisali (an ancient Indian city) who suffer from severe illnesses in their six senses (referring to eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind) will immediately be healed. Famine, royal calamities, evil beasts, thieves, prisons, shackles, Rakshasas (evil spirits), poisons, swords, and other disasters, as well as the four hundred and four diseases, will not arise at all (this is retribution). Those who violate Brahma-caryā and commit the ten evil deeds (referring to killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, divisive speech, harsh speech, idle chatter, greed, hatred, and wrong views), when they hear this mantra, can wash away the filth and regain purity. Past karmic conditions, present creation of various evil deeds, evil karma, evil conduct, and accumulations of unwholesome evil, extremely heavy evil karma, the bhikshu (monk) Sina, whose past evil conduct was countless killings, can all be eliminated (this is karmic obstacle). Cutting off the three poisons of greed, hatred, and ignorance, there is no doubt that one will achieve Buddhahood. If a great fire comes from all directions to burn one's body, and the Nāga (dragon king, protector deity) sends down rain, even if the fire burns the body and every joint is painful, reciting this mantra three times will immediately be healed and not be bound. The fear of prolonged greed, hatred, ignorance, and other three poisons, like a strong wind blowing away heavy clouds, will immediately be dissipated and subdued (this is afflictive obstacle).

English
English version: The suffering of national demise, unjust treatment of one's wife, and the pain of encountering those one hates will all be liberated from the three evil paths (地狱, dìyù - hell; 饿鬼, èguǐ - hungry ghost; 畜生, chùshēng - animal) and the eight difficulties (八难, bānán - eight unfavorable conditions for encountering the Dharma). Praises and exclamations are endless. Furthermore, a gatha (偈语, jìyǔ - verse) says: 'All wicked people and those who speak evil, who oppose this mantra (咒语, zhòuyǔ - mantra) and generate unwholesome thoughts, will in this very life suffer from white leprosy and flowing pus and blood, and after death will fall into hell and endure long nights of suffering.' Therefore, one should protect this mantra with a compassionate heart, uphold, recite, and chant this verse of empowerment. Even hell will become pure like a lotus flower, the suffering of the hungry ghost realm will be shattered, and there will be no more eight difficulties. One will be born from a lotus flower as one's parents, with a pure and soft heart, free from defilement. Alas! The compassionate voice of all Buddhas is thus, praising and extolling the truth without falsehood. May we read and contemplate again and again, and courageously generate the aspiration for enlightenment. With a little effort, one can receive great rewards. One should correspond each point to the ten types of practitioners, up to the Equal Enlightenment Bodhisattva (等觉菩萨, děngjué púsà), generating good thoughts, eliminating evil karma, and manifesting the power and function of the scripture, as detailed in the scripture. A brief exhortation to practice is completed. The above content is intended to represent the three parts of the scripture (序分, xùfēn - introduction; 正宗分, zhèngzōngfēn - main body; 流通分, liútōngfēn - conclusion), and the following are verses of dedication and dissemination. To the Buddhas, Dharma, Sangha (贤圣僧, xiánshèng sēng - virtuous and noble Sangha) of great compassion in the ten directions, To Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva (观世音菩萨, Guānshìyīn Púsà), who protects the world, the one who bestows fearlessness upon beings. I gather these auspicious verses for the benefit of practitioners with initial aspirations. May you grant your blessings, so that this scripture may be widely disseminated everywhere.
