Diamond Shattering Dharani

Translated by the Song Dynasty's Khitan National Teacher, the Tripitaka Master Cixian of Magadha, Central India

I pay homage to the Three Jewels. I pay homage to the Vajra-wielding One, the wrathful deity, the great king of the Yakshas.

Thus it is said: OM! Shatter! Shatter! Crush! Crush! Burn! Burn! Seize! Seize! Destroy! Destroy! For the sake of all beings, Awaken them! Awaken them! Fully awaken them! Fully awaken them! Take root! Take root! Firmly take root! Firmly take root! For all beings, Shatter! Shatter! Utterly shatter! Utterly shatter! Overcome all obstacles! Burn! Burn! Utterly burn! Utterly burn! All rituals, O Vajra! Blazing Vajra! Vajra that strikes! Vajra that grinds! Vajra that destroys! Vajra's terrifying laughter! O Vajra of light! Vajra power! Hail! Swift! Swift! O hero! Gather! Gather! Destroy! Destroy! O Vajra, victorious one! Hail! O one of great might! Hail! Strike! Strike! Crush! Crush! Annihilate! Annihilate! Utterly destroy! Hail! Captivate! Captivate! Seize! Seize! Bind! Bind! O Vajra of great power! Hail! Burn! Burn, O great one! Hail! Bind! Bind! Furious! Furious! O one of great splendor! Hail! Destroy! Destroy! O wrathful one! O one of great glory! Hail!

I pay homage to the Three Jewels. I pay homage to the Vajra-wielding One, the wrathful deity, the great king of the Yakshas. OM! Seize! Seize! O Vajra, strike! Strike! O Vajra, crush! Crush! O Vajra, grind! Grind! O Vajra, hold! Hold! O Vajra, sustain! Sustain! O Vajra, destroy! Destroy! O Vajra, slay! Slay! O Vajra! HUM! PHAT!
