The "Combined Edition of the Golden Light Sutra," also known as the "Precious Compilation," was compiled and edited by the eminent monk Master Baogui of the Sui Dynasty. This sutra integrates the four-volume translation by Dharmarakṣa, the five-volume translation by Yaśogupta, and the "Sutra of the Golden Light, Expanded Life, and Great Eloquence Dhāraṇī" translated by Paramārtha, among other versions. Its purpose is to supplement and complete the content of the circulating editions, making it a significant compilation of the "Golden Light Sutra." The text expounds teachings such as protecting the nation and its people, repentance for eliminating sins, and the benefits of merit. It emphasizes the practices of Mahayana bodhisattvas and the concept of heavenly protectors. In Chinese Buddhism, this sutra holds a lofty status and is regarded as one of the Three Sutras for Protecting the Nation. It has profoundly influenced Buddhist faith, rituals, literature, and art.


合部金光明經1 序品(一)
序品第一
隋沙門釋寶貴合北涼三藏曇無讖譯
如是我聞:
一時佛在王舍大城耆闍崛山。是時,如來遊於無量甚深法性——諸佛行處——過諸菩薩所行清淨。
「是金光明,諸經之王,若有聞者則能思惟無上微妙甚深之義。如是經典常為四方四佛世尊之所護持:
「東方阿閦、 南方寶相、 西無量壽、
北微妙聲。
「我今當說懺悔等法,所生功德為無有上,能壞諸苦、盡不善業:
「一切種智, 而為根本, 無量功德,
之所莊嚴, 滅除諸苦、 與無量樂。
諸根不具、 壽命損減、 貧窮困苦、
諸天捨離、 親厚鬪訟、 王法所加、
各各忿諍、 財物損耗、 愁憂恐怖、
惡星災異、 眾邪蠱道、 變怪相續、
臥見惡夢、 晝則愁惱, 當淨洗浴,
聽是經典。 至心清淨, 著淨潔衣,
專聽是經, 甚深行處。 是經威德,
能悉消除, 如是諸惡, 令其寂滅。
護世四王, 將諸官屬, 并及無量,
夜叉之眾, 悉來擁護, 是持經典;
大辯天神、 尼連河神、 鬼子母神、
地神堅牢、 大梵尊天、 三十三天、
大神龍王、 緊那羅王、 迦樓羅王、
阿修羅王、 與其眷屬, 悉共至彼,
擁護是人, 晝夜不離。 我今所說,
諸佛世尊, 甚深祕密、 微妙行處,
億百千劫, 甚難得值。 若得聞經、
若為他說、 若心隨喜、 若設供養,
如是之人, 於無量劫, 常為諸天,
八部所敬。 如是修行, 生功德者,
得不思議, 無量福聚; 亦為十方,
諸佛世尊、 深行菩薩, 之所護持。
著淨衣服, 以上妙香, 慈心供養,
常不遠離。 身意清淨, 無有垢穢,
歡喜悅豫, 深樂是典。 若得聽聞,
當知善得, 人身人道, 及以正命;
若聞懺悔, 執持在心, 是上善根,
諸佛所讚。」
