如是我聞：
Thus have I heard:
一時佛在摩誐陀國無垢園中寶光明池側，與大菩薩及諸聲聞，天、龍、夜叉、犍闥婆、阿蘇囉、𦾨嚕茶、緊那羅、麼護囉誐、人非人等，并諸王眾長者居士，百千圍遶恭敬聽法。爾時眾中有大富婆羅門名無垢妙光，即於會中能解微妙曉達師法，聰明辯才愛樂多聞，修崇十善信重三寶，歡喜踊躍而作是念：「一切有情修善為因，財富無量資具眾多，我當修習。」爾時大婆羅門無垢妙光起立合掌遶佛七匝，以種種花塗香粖香等供養世尊，及諸衣服真珠瓔珞價直百千持以施佛，頭面禮足而白佛言：「世尊！願起大悲，願受我食。」如是三請。爾時世尊默然受請。於是無垢妙光大婆羅門。見其世尊默然受請，而速歸還。經於一宿，備辦種種眾多美饍，六味具足。飲食辦已，嚴飾舍宅，樓閣浴池繒綵甚眾，花香粖香種種諸香及塗身香等諸供養具無不周備。即時婆羅門等執持花幡奏諸妓樂，與其眷屬往詣無垢園中寶光明池側迎請世尊。到已，白佛言：「世尊！食時已至，飯食悉辦。唯願世尊與諸大眾往至我舍，受我供養。」
At one time, the Buddha was in the country of Magadha, in the Immaculate Garden beside the Pool of Radiant Treasure, together with great bodhisattvas and the hearers, along with devas, nagas, yakshas, gandharvas, asuras, garudas, kinnaras, mahoragas, humans and non-humans, and also assemblies of kings, elders, and householders—surrounded by hundreds of thousands who listened to the Dharma with reverence.
At that time, within the assembly there was a greatly wealthy brahmin named Stainless Wondrous Light. Right there in the gathering, he could understand subtle matters and clearly comprehend the teacher's Dharma. He was intelligent and eloquent, delighted in hearing much, cultivated and honored the ten wholesome ways, and had faith and deep respect for the Three Jewels. Joyfully leaping with delight, he thought: "All sentient beings who cultivate goodness as the cause obtain immeasurable wealth and abundant necessities. I shall cultivate this as well."
Then the great brahmin Stainless Wondrous Light rose, joined his palms, and circled the Buddha seven times. With various flowers, perfumed ointments, powdered incense, and so forth, he made offerings to the World-Honored One, and also offered the Buddha various garments, pearls, and jeweled necklaces worth hundreds of thousands, presenting them to the Buddha. Bowing his head to the Buddha's feet, he said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One, may you stir great compassion; may you accept my meal." Three times he beseeched in this way.
Then the World-Honored One silently accepted the invitation. When the great brahmin Stainless Wondrous Light saw that the World-Honored One had silently accepted, he quickly returned home. After one night, he prepared a great many fine foods, complete in the six flavors. Once the food and drink were ready, he adorned his house, with pavilions, bathing pools, and abundant colorful silks. Flowers, incense, powdered incense, all kinds of fragrances, and perfumed body oils—none of the many offerings were lacking. Immediately, the brahmin and the others took up flowers and banners, played various music, and together with their relatives went to the Immaculate Garden beside the Pool of Radiant Treasure to welcome and invite the World-Honored One.
When they arrived, they said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One, the time for the meal has come; the food and drink are all prepared. May the World-Honored One, together with the great assembly, come to my house and accept my offerings."
爾時世尊觀察眾會，安慰無垢妙光大婆羅門曰：「善哉善哉！如汝所願。」又告諸眾并餘天等悉皆往彼。於是世尊從座而起，與諸大眾，菩薩、聲聞、天龍八部、人非人等，及諸王眾臣民眷屬，無量百千恭敬圍遶皆來集會，當行往彼無垢妙光大婆羅門家。爾時世尊身縱金色，放種種光無量諸相，變作種種光明之網，遍照十方一切佛剎，又復照曜彼佛剎中諸佛如來道場眾會，變作種種供養之具。照曜彼已，還復來入釋迦牟尼身毛孔中。即時無垢妙光大婆羅門與其眷屬，一心恭敬欲供養佛，掃除道路嚴飾清淨。爾時世尊與諸大眾，天、龍、夜叉、犍闥婆、阿蘇洛、𦾨嚕茶、緊那羅、麼護囉誐、帝釋、梵王、護世四王、麼醯首羅、那羅延等百千之眾，恭敬圍遶往詣於彼。爾時世尊當路而行，於前中路有一園苑名為安樂，彼園苑內有大舊塔極甚損壞，四邊荊棘草木叢林，堅硬閉塞猶如丘埠。爾時世尊將近彼塔，丘埠四面周匝焰熾，種種色相光明照曜，於彼破塔遠近皆覩。又於光中出妙音聲，讚言：「善哉善哉！釋迦牟尼佛清淨微妙瑞相無量不可稱量。彼無垢妙光大婆羅門請於如來，今現希奇難思大事。」爾時釋迦牟尼如來施遶破舊丘埠之塔欲伸供養，復解自身衣服嚴具覆蓋於彼舊塔塠埠。蓋覆已畢，悲泣雨淚，又復思念舍利出現及十方佛悉皆出現。即時舍利從塔湧出，皆在十方諸佛如來手掌中住。爾時十方諸佛如來亦皆雨淚，而彼諸佛身放光明，照曜故塔作光明網，內外瑩徹清淨無比，然後光明及佛舍利還入塔中。彼時眾會悉皆悲泣，驚怪希奇歎未曾有。爾時會中有大藥叉主名金剛手，身光焰熾臂膊𦟛直，柔軟光澤猶如象鼻，輪金剛杵速疾往詣世尊之前，頭面禮足而白佛言：「世尊！云何現此希奇瑞相？及十方佛悉皆雨淚光明照曜？唯願如來為我演說，決於眾疑。」爾時世尊告大藥叉主金剛手言：「此是一切如來全身舍利聚此塔中，及一切如來百千俱胝胡麻形像正法心印陀羅尼亦在塔中。應知，金剛手！此胡麻量諸佛形像正法心印陀羅尼止住塔中，由此百千俱胝如來全身舍利亦住此中。若此正法心印陀羅尼在此塔中，彼八萬四千法門亦在此中，及九十九百千俱胝如來頂髻受記亦在此中。當知，金剛手！若一切如來舍利之塔及此正法心印陀羅尼所有功德無量無邊，不可思議不可稱歎。應知，金剛手！由此正法篋印心陀羅尼，而能增長圓滿一切正法及諸功德。」爾時世尊說此法時，彼諸大眾聞法歡喜，滅除垢染得法眼淨，其中有得預流、一來、不還、阿羅漢果及緣覺乘，其中有證初地二地乃至十地，或於其中有得六波羅蜜悉皆圓滿，或有得受菩提之記，或有獲得阿鞞跋致。時彼無垢妙光大婆羅門，即於會中離諸煩惱、滅除障染，獲五神通。爾時金剛手大藥叉主覩如是等希奇變現自在神通，踊躍歡喜歎未曾有，而白佛言：「世尊！此正法印心陀羅尼有如是等廣大利益。若諸有情書寫莊嚴、受持讀誦、尊重讚歎，獲何果報？願佛演說。」爾時世尊告大藥叉金剛手言：「諦聽諦聽，吾為汝說。若有苾芻、苾芻尼、鄔波索迦、鄔波斯迦，受持讀誦書寫尊重此正法印心陀羅尼，獲得九十九百千俱胝胡麻量等形像如來福德之聚善根果報，又得逢事彼諸如來受菩提記。所以者何？此正法印心陀羅尼是彼九十九百千俱胝那瑜多胡麻量等形像如來同共宣說。若復有人受持讀誦此正法印心陀羅尼經，即得值遇十方世界九十九百千俱胝那瑜多胡麻量等形像如來。若有苾芻，苾芻尼，鄔波索迦，鄔波斯迦，族姓男族姝女，於此正法印心陀羅尼經，若能日日恭敬供養花香粖香、花鬘塗香、細妙衣服及莊嚴具等，所獲功德如彼供養十方世界九十九百千俱胝胡麻等形像如來功德無異，又得一一如來廣大莊嚴具等，及獲無量七寶之聚如蘇彌盧。」爾時眾會天、龍、藥叉、犍闥婆、阿素囉、𦾨嚕茶、緊那羅、摩護囉誐、人非人等一切大眾，悉皆驚疑歎未曾有：「如是朽爛破壞之塔，常被荊棘閉塞，草木叢林堅密充滿猶如丘埠。今日如來起大慈悲自在神通，現如是等希奇瑞相七寶妙塔不可思議。」時諸大眾稱歎無盡。即時會中有金剛手大藥叉主而白佛言：「世尊！云何破壞丘埠之塔，變現如是眾妙莊嚴？」爾時佛告金剛手言：「離此彼壞丘埠之塔，無別七寶眾妙之塔。所以者何？隨識變現，或見荊棘丘埠之塔，或見七寶眾妙莊嚴。又諸佛所現十方如來全身舍利所藏之塔，百珍七寶眾妙莊嚴，眾生惡業乃見荊棘破壞之塔。當知，金剛手大藥叉主！若於末世最後分時，謂諸有情罪業深重不植善根，廣作不善三惡道業，以此因緣生無佛世，亦常不聞諸佛名字，及恒遠離僧法之名。如是之事真實不虛，所以諸佛及我雨淚悲歎。復次金剛手！若正法將滅安住此塔，一切如來全身舍利亦乃藏於此塔之中，謂以一切如來所說之法而加護之。」即時金剛手大藥叉主而白佛言：「世尊！一切有情云何植善？云何正法安置此塔？」爾時世尊告金剛手言：「若復有人信解受持、讀誦書寫、為人演說、種種莊嚴安置塔中，即是安置一切如來全身舍利藏此塔中，復得一切如來總持祕密而加護之，復得十方世界九十九胡麻量等形像諸佛之塔而加護之，復得一切如來頂髻眼塔而加護之。若復有人用於七寶如法加持，雕作諸佛及菩薩像，種種莊嚴安置塔中，復用繖蓋相輪、寶網鈴鐸，眾妙嚴飾鐘磬鐃鈸及諸器物，花香瓔珞、衣服飲食諸供具等；又以一切如來正法加持真實護淨，精進恒時離於懈怠；又復此塔時遷變壞，重修嚴飾種種供養，精心信敬不生疑謗，彼當獲得無上菩提。若復有人旋遶此塔一二匝等或一禮拜，即得解脫無間之罪，必當證得阿毘跋致，乃至究竟佛果菩提。若有此塔所住之處，一切十方諸佛形像亦在此中。復次若有此塔之處，由彼一切如來加護力故，彼地四方而無毒龍、雷雹風雨非時損害及諸怖畏。彼處復無諸毒蟲蟻，所謂毒蛇狼鼠、蝗蟲蝮蝎、黃蜂黑蜂，乃至蜈蚣百足悉皆遠離。復次彼地而無暴惡虎狼師子，飛禽走獸不能傷害。又復彼地一切災難而無嬈亂，又無夜叉、羅剎、部多、吠多拏，又毘舍遮、顛狂鬼魅不能傷害。又無瘧病瘡腫、痑𤴯痔瘻、白癩疥癬，一切疾病不能侵害。若復有人見此寶塔歡喜讚禮，諸損壞等不能侵害。又復彼地牛馬羊犬種種傍生，及諸男女而無中夭，及無刀兵器杖、水火焚漂怖畏等事，彼地亦無飢饉疾疫種種怖畏。彼處常得四大天王圍遶擁護，及二十八部大藥叉主密隱形儀恒來擁護，及三十三天、二十八宿、羅睺諸星乃至日月晝夜順行。若諸龍王恒常觀察，應時降雨。或有欲色乃至無色一切諸天，於三際時來降此塔禮拜供養。一切如來恭敬尊重憶念思惟。若復有人恒常修嚴佛塔形像，或用木石泥土彩畫金銀鍮石等，及此正法印心陀羅尼經書寫莊嚴，又以一切如來如法護持，然後安置寶塔之中。又此寶塔四邊階道悉皆嚴飾，相輪幢幡周匝懸鈴，七寶羅網高廣大小，隨意自在種種莊嚴。又以十方如來正法而加持之，復作一切聖賢擁護之法而加護持，然後種種廣陳香花飲食乃至瓔珞精虔供養，如是乃獲無量功德。」即時會中有金剛手大藥叉主，復白佛言：「世尊！有何因緣，此正法印心陀羅尼書寫受持、供養恭敬，獲如是等無量功德？」爾時世尊告金剛手言：「此是法界一切如來全身舍利祕密篋印心陀羅尼，所以獲是無量功德。」時金剛手大藥叉主聞佛所說無量功德，歡喜信受，復白佛言：「世尊！願佛慈悲演說此法，我等樂聞。」爾時世尊告金剛手言：「汝等諦聽，今為汝說。此正法印心陀羅尼，是過去未來現在諸佛同共宣說，若有信受恭敬供養，乃至證入聲聞緣覺及於十地法報化身，所以名為全身正法祕密篋印。」爾時世尊即說呪曰：
At that time, the World-Honored One observed the assembly and said to the Brahmin Wugou Miaoguang, "Excellent, excellent! May it be as you wish." He then told the entire gathering, along with the other celestial beings, that they should all go there. Thereupon the World-Honored One rose from his seat, and together with the great assembly—Bodhisattvas, Shravakas, the eight classes of gods and dragons, humans and non-humans, as well as the kings, ministers, and their retinues, numbering immeasurable hundreds of thousands—all gathered in reverent circumambulation, and proceeded to the home of the Brahmin Wugou Miaoguang.
At that time, the World-Honored One's body, naturally golden in color, emitted various lights and immeasurable marks, transforming into nets of light of many kinds that illuminated all Buddha-lands in the ten directions. These lights also illuminated the assemblies at the sites of enlightenment of all the Buddhas in those Buddha-lands, manifesting as various offerings. After illuminating all that, the light returned and entered the pores of Shakyamuni's body. Then the Brahmin Wugou Miaoguang and his family, with single-minded reverence, wishing to make offerings to the Buddha, swept and adorned the road, making it pure and clean.
At that time, the World-Honored One, together with the great assembly—gods, dragons, yakshas, gandharvas, asuras, garudas, kinnaras, mahoragas, Indra, Brahma kings, the four guardian kings of the world, Maheshvara, Narayana, and hundreds of thousands of others—reverently circumambulated and proceeded there. As the World-Honored One walked along the road, ahead in the middle of the path there was a garden called Anle (Peace and Bliss). Within that garden was a great old stupa, extremely damaged, surrounded by thorns and dense thickets of grass and trees, hard and blocked up like a mound.
As the World-Honored One approached that stupa, flames blazed all around the mound, and lights of various colors and appearances shone forth. From near and far, all could see that broken stupa. From within the light came a wonderful voice praising, "Excellent, excellent! Shakyamuni Buddha's pure and subtle auspicious marks are immeasurable and beyond reckoning. That Brahmin Wugou Miaoguang has invited the Tathagata, and now a rare and inconceivable great event is manifesting."
Then Shakyamuni Tathagata, circumambulating the broken old mound-stupa, wishing to make an offering, removed his own garments and adornments and covered that old stupa mound. Having finished covering it, he wept, tears falling like rain, and further contemplated the appearance of the relics and the appearance of all Buddhas of the ten directions. Instantly the relics emerged from the stupa and came to rest in the palms of all Buddhas of the ten directions. Then all the Buddhas of the ten directions also wept, and their bodies emitted light that illuminated the old stupa, forming nets of light, making it luminous inside and out, pure and unequaled. After that, the light and the Buddha relics returned into the stupa. At that time, the entire assembly all wept, amazed and marveling at this unprecedented sight.
Then in the assembly there was a great yaksha lord named Vajrapani, his body blazing with light, his arms straight and well-formed, soft and lustrous like an elephant's trunk. Holding a golden vajra in his hand, he swiftly approached the World-Honored One, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, and said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One! Why are these rare auspicious signs manifesting? And why do all Buddhas of the ten directions weep and emit illuminating light? I pray the Tathagata will explain this for me, resolving the doubts of the assembly."
Then the World-Honored One told the great yaksha lord Vajrapani: "This is the whole-body relic of all Tathagatas, gathered in this stupa. And the Dharmakaya heart-seal dharani of the true Dharma, in the form of likenesses of all Tathagatas as numerous as hundreds of thousands of kotis of sesame seeds, is also in this stupa. You should know, Vajrapani, that this dharani of the true Dharma heart-seal, with Buddha images as numerous as sesame seeds, abides in this stupa, and because of it, the whole-body relics of hundreds of thousands of kotis of Tathagatas also abide here. If this dharani of the true Dharma heart-seal is in this stupa, then the eighty-four thousand Dharma doors are also in it, and the predictions of Buddhahood bestowed upon the topknots of ninety-nine hundred thousand kotis of Tathagatas are also in it. You should know, Vajrapani, that the merit of this stupa of all Tathagata relics and this dharani of the true Dharma heart-seal is immeasurable, boundless, inconceivable, and beyond praise. You should know, Vajrapani, that through this dharani of the true Dharma casket-seal heart, all true Dharma and all merits are able to grow and be perfected."
When the World-Honored One taught this Dharma, the great assembly heard the Dharma with joy, eliminated defilements, and attained purity of the Dharma-eye. Among them, some attained the fruit of stream-entry, once-returning, non-returning, and arhatship, and the vehicle of solitary realization. Some realized the first ground, second ground, and so on up to the tenth ground. Some among them perfected the six paramitas. Some received the prediction of enlightenment. Some attained the stage of non-retrogression. At that time, the Brahmin Wugou Miaoguang, right there in the assembly, freed himself from all afflictions, eliminated obstructive defilements, and obtained the five superknowledges.
Then the great yaksha lord Vajrapani, witnessing these rare manifestations of sovereign superknowledges, leaped with joy, praised the unprecedented, and said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One! This dharani of the true Dharma seal-heart has such vast benefit. If sentient beings write it out, adorn it, receive and uphold it, read and recite it, respect and praise it, what fruits will they obtain? I pray the Buddha will explain."
Then the World-Honored One told the great yaksha Vajrapani: "Listen carefully, listen carefully! I will explain for you. If monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen receive and uphold, read and recite, write out, and respect this dharani of the true Dharma seal-heart, they will obtain the accumulation of merit and roots of goodness equal to the Buddha-field of Tathagatas as numerous as ninety-nine hundred thousand kotis of sesame seeds, and they will also encounter and serve those Tathagatas and receive the prediction of enlightenment. Why is that? Because this dharani of the true Dharma seal-heart was proclaimed together by Tathagatas as numerous as ninety-nine hundred thousand kotis of nayutas of sesame seeds. If someone receives and upholds, reads and recites this sutra of the true Dharma seal-heart dharani, they will immediately encounter Tathagatas as numerous as ninety-nine hundred thousand kotis of nayutas of sesame seeds in the ten directions. If monks, nuns, laymen, laywomen, men of good family, and women of good family, day after day, respectfully make offerings of flowers, incense, powdered incense, garlands, ointments, fine clothing, and adornments to this sutra of the true Dharma seal-heart dharani, the merit they obtain will be no different from making offerings to Tathagatas as numerous as ninety-nine hundred thousand kotis of sesame seeds in the ten directions, and they will also obtain from each Tathagata vast and magnificent adornments, and obtain immeasurable heaps of the seven treasures as great as Mount Sumeru."
Then the entire assembly—gods, dragons, yakshas, gandharvas, asuras, garudas, kinnaras, mahoragas, humans and non-humans, and all the great multitude—were all amazed and doubtful, praising the unprecedented: "This rotten, broken stupa, constantly choked by thorns, filled densely with grass and trees like a mound—today the Tathagata, with great compassion and sovereign superknowledges, manifests such rare auspicious signs, a wonderful stupa of seven treasures, inconceivable!" Then the great assembly praised without end.
At that time, in the assembly, the great yaksha lord Vajrapani said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One! How is it that this broken mound-stupa has transformed and manifested such wonderful adornments?" Then the Buddha told Vajrapani: "Apart from this broken mound-stupa, there is no other stupa of seven treasures and wonderful adornments. Why is that? It manifests according to consciousness. Some see a stupa of thorns and a mound; some see a wonderful adornment of seven treasures. Moreover, the stupa that holds the whole-body relics of all Tathagatas of the ten directions, manifested by all Buddhas, is adorned with hundreds of precious seven treasures; but sentient beings with evil karma see a broken stupa of thorns. You should know, great yaksha lord Vajrapani, that in the final period of the last age, when sentient beings' karmic offenses are deep and heavy, they plant no roots of goodness, widely commit unwholesome karma of the three evil paths, and by this cause are born in an age without Buddhas. They also constantly do not hear the names of Buddhas, and forever remain far from even the name of the Sangha and the Dharma. Such things are true and not false; therefore all Buddhas and I weep and lament.
Furthermore, Vajrapani, if the true Dharma is about to perish and abides in this stupa, all Tathagata whole-body relics are also hidden within this stupa, protected by the Dharma proclaimed by all Tathagatas."
Then the great yaksha lord Vajrapani said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One! How do sentient beings plant goodness? How is the true Dharma placed in this stupa?" Then the World-Honored One told Vajrapani: "If someone has faith and understanding, receives and upholds, reads and recites, writes out, expounds for others, and with various adornments places it in a stupa, that is placing the whole-body relics of all Tathagatas and hiding them in this stupa. They also obtain the secret dharani of all Tathagatas as protection, and obtain the protection of the stupas of Buddhas as numerous as ninety-nine sesame-seed measures of Tathagatas in the ten directions, and obtain the protection of the topknot-eye stupas of all Tathagatas. If someone, using the seven treasures according to the Dharma, consecrates and carves images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, adorns them in various ways, and places them in a stupa; and further uses parasols, wheels, jewel nets, bells, chimes, and various wonderful decorations, bells, chimes, cymbals, and other implements, flowers, incense, garlands, clothing, food, drink, and all offerings; and further consecrates them with the true Dharma of all Tathagatas, protecting and purifying them in truth, diligently and constantly free from laziness; and further, when this stupa ages and deteriorates, repairs and adorns it again with various offerings, with sincere faith and respect, without doubt or slander—such a person will obtain unsurpassed enlightenment. If someone circumambulates this stupa one or two times or makes a single bow, they will be liberated from the offenses of the uninterrupted hell and will certainly attain the stage of non-retrogression, and ultimately the fruit of Buddhahood. Wherever this stupa is, the images of all Buddhas of the ten directions are also there. Furthermore, wherever this stupa is, by the power of the protection of all Tathagatas, that land will be free in all four directions from poisonous dragons, hail, wind, rain, untimely harm, and all fears. That place will also be free from poisonous insects and ants—poisonous snakes, wolves, rats, locusts, vipers, scorpions, yellow wasps, black bees, and even centipedes and hundred-legged creatures will all stay away. Furthermore, that land will be free from fierce tigers, wolves, and lions, and birds and beasts cannot harm it. That land will also be free from all disasters and disturbances, free from yakshas, rakshasas, bhutas, vetadas, and free from the harm of pishachas and mad ghosts. It will also be free from malaria, sores, swellings, paralysis, hemorrhoids, fistula, white leprosy, scabies, ringworm—all diseases cannot harm it. If someone sees this jewel stupa, rejoices, and praises and bows, all harms cannot affect them. Furthermore, in that land, cattle, horses, sheep, dogs, and all kinds of animals, as well as men and women, will not die prematurely, and there will be no fear of knives, weapons, staffs, fire, or water. That land will also be free from famine, plague, and all kinds of fears. That place will always be protected by the four great heavenly kings, and the twenty-eight great yaksha lords will constantly protect it with hidden forms, and the thirty-three heavens, the twenty-eight constellations, Rahu and other stars, and even the sun and moon will move in order day and night. If dragon kings constantly observe it, rain will fall in season. Whether beings of the desire realm, form realm, or formless realm, all gods will descend to this stupa three times to bow and make offerings. All Tathagatas will respectfully honor, remember, and contemplate it. If someone constantly repairs and adorns Buddha stupas and images, whether made of wood, stone, earth, painted, gold, silver, or brass, and writes out and adorns this sutra of the true Dharma seal-heart dharani, and protects it according to the true Dharma of all Tathagatas, and then places it in a jewel stupa; and further adorns the four stairways of this jewel stupa, with wheels, banners, and streamers, bells hanging all around, seven-jewel nets high and wide, large and small, according to one's wish, with various adornments; and further consecrates it with the true Dharma of Tathagatas of the ten directions, and performs the protection methods of all sages and worthies to protect and uphold it, and then widely makes offerings of various flowers, incense, food, drink, and even garlands with sincere reverence—such a person will obtain immeasurable merit."
Then in the assembly, the great yaksha lord Vajrapani again said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One! For what reason does writing out, receiving and upholding, making offerings to, and respecting this dharani of the true Dharma seal-heart bring such immeasurable merit?" Then the World-Honored One told Vajrapani: "This is the secret casket-seal heart dharani of the whole-body relics of all Tathagatas of the Dharma realm; therefore it brings such immeasurable merit." Then the great yaksha lord Vajrapani, hearing the Buddha's teaching of immeasurable merit, joyfully accepted it with faith, and again said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One! May the Buddha in compassion proclaim this Dharma; we delight in hearing it." Then the World-Honored One told Vajrapani: "Listen carefully, all of you; I will now explain for you. This dharani of the true Dharma seal-heart was proclaimed together by all Buddhas of the past, future, and present. If one has faith and upholds it, respectfully makes offerings, and even realizes the fruits of shravaka and solitary realization, and the tenth ground, the Dharma body, reward body, and transformation body—therefore it is called the whole-body true Dharma secret casket-seal."
Then the World-Honored One immediately spoke the mantra:

爾時世尊說此呪已，告金剛手言：「今此全身祕密篋印心陀羅尼，是諸如來普皆宣說。遍十方界於一一方，有九十九胡麻量等形像如來百千俱胝那瑜多諸佛如來，聞說此法皆來至此，同共讚言：『善哉善哉！釋迦牟尼！善能演說正法篋印心陀羅尼，廣令流布行閻浮提。復令一切諸有情等，以全身舍利安置此塔。』由此十方一切如來，以諸三昧而加護之。若復有人受持讀誦、解說書寫此全身舍利祕密篋印心陀羅尼經，及以金銀栴檀雕彩莊嚴安置塔中，彼十方世界一切如來恒來在此而加護之。」爾時世尊說此正法篋印心陀羅尼時，此舊破壞丘埠之中出現七寶微妙之塔，相輪幢幡種種莊嚴，人天大眾無不皆見，久現如故。彼時眾會諸大菩薩及聲聞眾、天龍八部、人非人等，覩此希奇皆悉歡喜。
At that time, after the World-Honored One had spoken this mantra, he said to Vajrapani: "Now this Heart Dharani of the Secret Casket of the Whole Body has been proclaimed by all the Tathagatas everywhere. Throughout the ten directions, in each and every direction, there are Tathagatas as numerous as ninety-nine sesame seeds, and hundreds of thousands of kotis of nayutas of Buddhas and Tathagatas. Hearing this teaching, they all come here and together praise it, saying: 'Excellent, excellent, Shakyamuni! You are able to proclaim the Heart Dharani of the Casket of Right Dharma, and to cause it to spread widely throughout Jambudvipa. You also cause all sentient beings to enshrine the whole-body relics within this stupa.' For this reason, all the Tathagatas of the ten directions protect it with their samadhis. Moreover, if there are people who receive, uphold, read, recite, explain, and copy this Sutra of the Heart Dharani of the Secret Casket of the Whole-Body Relics, and who adorn a stupa with gold, silver, sandalwood, and colored carvings and enshrine it within, all the Tathagatas of the ten directions will constantly come here and protect them."
At that time, when the World-Honored One proclaimed this Heart Dharani of the Casket of Right Dharma, from within that old, broken mound there appeared a wonderful stupa of the seven treasures, adorned with a spire, banners, and all manner of ornaments. The great assembly of humans and heavenly beings all saw it, and it remained visible as before for a long time. Then all the great bodhisattvas in that assembly, together with the assembly of shravakas, the eight classes of devas and nagas, and humans and non-humans, witnessing this marvel, were all filled with joy.
爾時世尊說此法時，諸大眾等，金剛手大藥叉主、無垢妙光大婆羅門，并諸菩薩、諸大聲聞、天、龍、藥叉、犍闥婆、阿素囉、𦾨嚕荼、緊那囉、麼護囉誐、人非人等，國王大臣長者居士，一切大眾聞佛所說，一心信受，歡喜而退。
At that time, when the World-Honored One taught this Dharma, the great assembly—the great yaksha lord Vajrapani, the stainless radiant great brahmin, together with the bodhisattvas, the great shravakas, devas, nagas, yakshas, gandharvas, asuras, garudas, kimnaras, mahoragas, humans and non-humans, kings, ministers, elders, and householders—all the great assembly, having heard what the Buddha taught, single-mindedly accepted it with faith, rejoiced, and withdrew.
