Chapter 12: Praises and Wondrous Virtues
爾時釋、梵、四天王俱在會中，即以天花散於佛上而作是言：「世尊！若善男子、善女人聞文殊師利說是法，有信解者，當知是人能破魔怨。所以者何？文殊師利今所說法，能破一切邪見妄想。世尊！若善男子、善女人聞是法不驚不怖，當知是人不從小功德來。若是經所在之處，當知此處則為諸佛擁護受用。若聞是經處，當知此處轉於法輪。是經在所住處——聚落、村邑、山林、曠野、塔寺、僧坊、經行之處——諸魔、外道、貪著之人不能侵嬈。世尊！若人多供養過去諸佛，乃能得聞如是經典。世尊！我等於此經中得智慧光明，而不能得報佛及文殊師利、思益梵天之恩。世尊！我等所從聞經，於是法師生世尊想；我等常當隨侍說是經者，此善男子常為諸天之所擁護。若人書寫是經，讀誦、解說時，無量諸天為聽法故來至其所。」
At that time, Shakra, Brahma, and the Four Heavenly Kings, who were all present in the assembly, scattered celestial flowers over the Buddha and said: "World-Honored One! If a good man or good woman hears the Dharma as taught by Mañjuśrī and has faith and understanding, you should know that such a person is capable of destroying demons and their threats. Why? Because what Mañjuśrī has now explained can break all false views and deluded thinking. World-Honored One! If a good man or good woman hears this Dharma without fear or alarm, you should know that such a person does not come from small merit. Wherever this sutra is present, you should know that place is protected and blessed by all Buddhas. Wherever this sutra is heard, you should know that place turns the wheel of Dharma. In whatever place this sutra abides—villages, towns, forests, wilderness, pagodas, monasteries, or walking paths—no demons, heretics, or people attached to desire can disturb it. World-Honored One! Only those who have made abundant offerings to past Buddhas can hear such a sutra. World-Honored One! We have gained the light of wisdom from this sutra, yet we cannot repay the kindness of the Buddha, Mañjuśrī, or the Brahma Deva Śubhavyūha. World-Honored One! We regard the teacher from whom we heard this sutra as we would the World-Honored One Himself. We will always follow and attend to whoever teaches this sutra. Such a good person is constantly protected by the gods. When someone copies, recites, or explains this sutra, countless gods will come to that place to hear the Dharma."
