金光明最勝王經金勝陀羅尼品第八
Chapter 8: The Golden Victory Dharani
爾時，世尊復於眾中告善住菩薩摩訶薩：「善男子！有陀羅尼名曰金勝，若有善男子、善女人，欲求親見過去、未來、現在諸佛，恭敬供養者，應當受持此陀羅尼。何以故？此陀羅尼乃是過、現、未來諸佛之母。是故當知持此陀羅尼者，具大福德，已於過去無量佛所殖諸善本，今得受持，於戒清淨不毀不缺，無有障礙，決定能入甚深法門。」
At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the assembly, speaking to the great being Bodhisattva Shanzhu: "Noble son, there is a dhāraṇī called the Golden Victory. If good men or good women wish to personally see the Buddhas of the past, present, and future, and reverently make offerings to them, they should uphold this dhāraṇī. Why? Because this dhāraṇī is the very mother of all Buddhas—past, present, and future. Therefore, you should know that whoever upholds this dhāraṇī possesses great merit. Having already planted wholesome roots in the presence of countless Buddhas in the past, they are now able to receive and uphold it. Their precepts are pure, without breach or deficiency, free from obstacles, and they are destined to enter the profound Dharma-gate."
世尊即為說持呪法，先稱諸佛及菩薩名，至心禮敬，然後誦呪。
The World-Honored One then taught the method for reciting the mantra: first, invoke the names of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas with sincere respect and reverence, and then recite the mantra.
「南無十方一切諸佛。南無諸大菩薩摩訶薩。南謨聲聞緣覺一切賢聖。
Reverence to all the Buddhas of the ten directions. Reverence to the great Bodhisattvas and Mahasattvas. Reverence to all the noble beings of the Hearers and Solitary Realizers.

「陀羅尼曰：
Here is the translation:
"The Dharani says:"
「南謨喝𡃤怛娜怛喇夜也 怛姪他君睇君睇 矩折囇 矩折囇 壹窒哩蜜窒哩 莎訶」

佛告善住菩薩：「此陀羅尼，是三世佛母，若有善男子、善女人持此呪者，能生無量無邊福德之聚，即是供養恭敬、尊重讚歎無數諸佛，如是諸佛皆與此人授阿耨多羅三藐三菩提記。善住！若有人能持此呪者，隨其所欲，衣食財寶、多聞聰慧、無病長壽，獲福甚多，隨所願求，無不遂意。善住！持是呪者，乃至未證無上菩提，常與金城山菩薩、慈氏菩薩、大海菩薩、觀自在菩薩、妙吉祥菩薩、大氷伽羅菩薩等而共居止，為諸菩薩之所攝護。善住當知！持此呪時，作如是法，先應誦持滿一萬八遍為前方便。次於闇室莊嚴道場，黑月一日清淨洗浴，著鮮潔衣，燒香散花，種種供養并諸飲食。入道場中，先當稱禮如前所說諸佛菩薩，至心殷重悔先罪已，右膝著地，可誦前呪滿一千八遍，端坐思惟，念其所願。日未出時，於道場中，食淨黑食，日唯一食，至十五日方出道場。能令此人福德威力不可思議，隨所願求無不圓滿，若不遂意，重入道場，既稱心已，常持莫忘。」
The Buddha told the bodhisattva Shanzhu, “This dhāraṇī is the mother of all Buddhas throughout the three times. If any good man or good woman upholds this mantra, they will accumulate an immeasurable and boundless store of merit and virtue. This is equivalent to making offerings, honoring, respecting, and praising countless Buddhas. All these Buddhas will then confer upon this person the prophecy of attaining Anuttarā Samyaksaṃbodhi. Shanzhu! If someone is able to uphold this mantra, whatever they desire—clothing, food, wealth, erudition, wisdom, freedom from illness, and longevity—they will obtain great blessings. Whatever they wish for, all will be fulfilled. Shanzhu! Those who uphold this mantra, even before attaining supreme enlightenment, will dwell together with the bodhisattvas Jinchengshan, Maitreya, Mahāsāgara, Avalokiteśvara, Mañjuśrī, and Mahāpīṅgala. They will be protected and supported by these bodhisattvas. Shanzhu, you should know that when upholding this mantra, one should proceed as follows: first, recite it a total of eighteen thousand times as a preliminary practice. Then, in a dark room, set up a sacred altar. On the first day of the dark fortnight, bathe and purify oneself, put on clean clothes, and make offerings of incense, scattered flowers, and various foods. Entering the altar space, first pay homage to the Buddhas and bodhisattvas mentioned earlier. With utmost sincerity and remorse, repent of past transgressions. Then, kneeling on the right knee, recite the mantra eighteen hundred times. Sit upright, contemplate, and focus on your wishes. Before sunrise, in the altar space, eat only pure vegetarian food, taking just one meal a day, until the fifteenth day, when one emerges from the practice. This practice will bring the person inconceivable merit and power. All wishes will be perfectly fulfilled. If one’s wish is not yet realized, one may re-enter the practice. Once the wish is fulfilled, continue upholding the mantra without forgetting it.”
