The Treatise on Cultivating Merit and Virtue is a Buddhist scripture authored by the eminent Tang Dynasty monk Yijing, completed between the late 7th and early 8th centuries. Yijing was a renowned translator of Buddhist scriptures and a pilgrim who journeyed to India in search of the Dharma. This work primarily expounds the concept and methods of accumulating merit in Buddhist practice, emphasizing the importance of upholding precepts, practicing generosity, meditation (Dhyāna), and other forms of cultivation for attaining liberation. As a significant text of Mahāyāna Buddhism, the Treatise on Cultivating Merit and Virtue systematically summarizes the philosophy of merit, exerting a profound influence on later Buddhist theories of practice. It serves not only as crucial material for studying Tang Dynasty Buddhist thought but also provides concrete guidance for practitioners, holding an important position in the history of Chinese Buddhism.


大蕃沙洲釋門教法和尚洪𮗿修功德記
依門神母及金光明經略述毘沙門功德天。爾時世尊左香山。禪定名於初夜分。時三十三天眾及毘沙門天王受記 下來將諸音樂香花供養世尊。供養訖世尊即與毘沙門天王受記。故於來世當得作佛。號泥勿羅遮毘沙門天王。得受記已即於佛前發大誓願。願我未成佛已來當作大力藥叉王。護此南閻浮提。世界一切眾生及國王大臣。作禮王子合國人民。若男若女願信受金光明。四部之眾為我轉讀於其國內所有曾覺。
□□□□不成人民飢餓疾病流行。隣國怨敵遞相討罰。暴雨惡風不振。時節日月博蝕。井內發聲星流動地。國內民人受諸苦惱。有如是等無量百千災怪惡事起。時世尊彼人王願護國。王常於國內顯敞之。據香水灑地置一道場。為我讀一字。師講誦金光明經我。於是時無量百千天神。并護國王諸舊善神。及我眷屬各自隱形為作護助。今彼怨敵自然降伏。憂愁疾疫亦令除差。所有軍兵悉皆勇健。國內人民受請使樂。世尊告曰。是事實不。時毘沙門天王答。世尊曰。若有人王佐如是請召我時。如我不列彼處不護其王。願莫見大國兄弟。願破作七分見。未來諸佛發是誓已便歸本天。至天時己大眾俱集。阿難從座而起偏袒右肩合掌恭敬。白佛言。世尊。我是凡夫不知聖意。作夜分時有天香花著。
