Good Man! Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva possesses not only these samadhis, but in every single pore, he has hundreds of thousands of millions of samadhis. Good Man! Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva, although dwelling at the bodhisattva stage, has such merits that even the Buddhas and Tathāgatas praise them as unprecedented. Good Man! In a past life, when I was a bodhisattva, I once traveled with five hundred merchants to the land of Siṃhala. We loaded our carts with camels, oxen, and other beasts of burden, seeking wealth and treasures, and set out on the road. Passing through villages, camps, towns, and settlements, we eventually reached the seashore, intending to board a great ship. We all climbed aboard. I asked the ship's captain, 'You should observe the wind—from which direction does it arise? To which country shall we go? Shall we head for the jewel island, or to Java, or the land of rākṣasīs?' The captain then observed the wind and said, 'This wind is favorable for the land of Siṃhala.' So we set sail with the wind toward Siṃhala. In that land, five hundred rākṣasīs suddenly conjured a violent great wind, stirring waves and tossing the ship until it was wrecked. All the merchants fell into the water, drifting and struggling, until they floated to the shore. The five hundred rākṣasīs saw the merchants and, each shaking their bodies, making terrifying sounds, appeared in the form of young maidens and approached the merchants, giving each one clothes. The merchants put on those clothes, wrung out their wet garments, and spread them to dry. Then they left that place and rested under a campaka tree.

After resting, they said to one another, 'What shall we do now? What means do we have?' Finding no plan, they fell silent. At that moment, the rākṣasīs returned and said to the merchants, 'We have no husbands. Will you take us as wives? Here we have food, drink, clothing, treasuries, gardens, and bathing pools.' Then each rākṣasī took a merchant to her own dwelling. Among those rākṣasīs, one was the chief mistress, named Ratikalā. She took me to her dwelling. She offered me fine food and drink, abundant and satisfying, and I enjoyed pleasures no different from the human realm. I stayed there for two or three weeks, when suddenly I saw Ratikalā break into a delighted smile. I was puzzled, thinking, 'I have never seen or heard of this rākṣasī smiling like this.' So I asked her, 'Why are you smiling now?' The rākṣasī replied, 'This is the land of the Siṃhala rākṣasīs. I fear for your life.' I then asked, 'How do you know this?' The rākṣasī said, 'Do not go south. Why? There is an iron city there, surrounded on all sides, top and bottom, with no gates. Inside are countless merchants, many of whom have already been devoured, leaving only skeletons. Some are still alive, some dead. If you do not believe me, just go along that path and see for yourself.'

So I waited until that woman fell into a deep sleep. Then, toward the night, the bodhisattva took up a moon-light sword and went south along the path. Arriving at the iron city, I walked around it and saw there was no gate, no windows. Beside the iron city stood a campaka tree. I climbed up it and called out loudly. The merchants inside the iron city said to me, 'Noble great caravan leader, do you know? We were put here by the rākṣasīs, and every day they devour a hundred of us.' After they told me all that had happened, I climbed down from the campaka tree and hurried back south along the path to the rākṣasī's place. When I returned, she asked me, 'Noble great caravan leader! Did you see the iron city I spoke of? Speak truly now.' I said, 'I saw it.' Then I asked her, 'What means can get me out of this place?' The rākṣasī said to me, 'There is indeed a great means that can let you leave this land of Siṃhala safely and return to the southern continent of Jambudvīpa.' Hearing this, I asked her, 'By which road can I leave this country?' Then Ratikalā said to me, 'There is the holy Horse King who can rescue all sentient beings.'

I then went at once to where the holy Horse King was. He ate the white medicinal grass, and after eating, rose from the golden sand, shook his mane, and said, 'Who wishes to reach the far shore?' He said it three times: 'If you wish to go, say so yourselves.' So I said to the holy Horse King, 'I wish to go there now.' Having said this, I returned to the rākṣasī's dwelling and stayed the night with her. When the rākṣasī woke from sleep, she felt regret and asked me, 'Caravan leader! Why is your body so cold?' I knew then that she did not intend to let me go. So I used a skillful means to tell her, 'I just stepped out of the city to relieve myself and have only now returned, so my body is cold.' She said to me, 'You should go back to sleep.' At sunrise, I rose and gathered the merchants, saying, 'You should all leave this city now.' When all the merchants had come out of the city, they gathered in one place to rest and said to one another, 'Whose wife among us now shows the most affection? What did you see? What happened?' Some said, 'She gave me fine food and drink.' Others said, 'She gave me various clothes.' Others said, 'She gave me crowns, earrings, and garments.' Others said, 'I received nothing—she did not please me.' Others said, 'She gave me various fragrances of dragon musk and sandalwood.' After the merchants had spoken in this way, I said to them, 'You will be hard to free. Why do you desire these rākṣasīs?' Hearing this, the merchants were terrified and asked, 'Great caravan leader! Is this really so?' I told them, 'This land of Siṃhala is inhabited by rākṣasīs. They are not human. They are indeed rākṣasīs.' And I made this vow: 'May the Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha know this to be true of these rākṣasīs.' Hearing this, the merchants said to me, 'What means can save us from this calamity?' So I told them, 'This land of Siṃhala has a holy Horse King who can rescue all sentient beings. He eats the great white medicinal grass, rises from the golden sand, shakes his body, and says three times, "Who wishes to go to the far shore?" I have already told the Horse King, "I wish to go to the far shore."'

The merchants then asked me, 'On what day shall we leave?' I told them all, 'In three days, we will certainly depart. You should prepare your provisions.' With these words, they all returned to the city and went each to his own rākṣasī's dwelling. When the rākṣasīs saw them return, they greeted them, saying, 'Are you tired now?' I then asked my rākṣasī, 'I have never seen your delightful gardens and bathing pools. Are they real?' The rākṣasī said to me, 'Great caravan leader! This land of Siṃhala has many pleasant gardens and bathing pools.' I said to her, 'Prepare provisions for me accordingly. I will wait three days and then go to see the various gardens, ponds, and famous flowers. I will bring various flowers home with me.' The rākṣasī said, 'Great caravan leader! I will prepare the provisions for you.' At that time, fearing that the rākṣasī would discover my plan and kill me, I remained silent in my thoughts. The rākṣasī gave me excellent food to eat. After eating, I sighed. She asked me, 'Great caravan leader! Why do you sigh like that?' I said to her, 'I am from the southern continent of Jambudvīpa. I miss my homeland.' She said to me, 'Great caravan leader! Do not miss your homeland. This land of Siṃhala has all kinds of food, drink, clothing, treasuries, and many pleasant gardens and bathing pools. You can enjoy all kinds of pleasures here. Why think of that southern continent of Jambudvīpa?' I remained silent.

After that day passed and the second day came, she prepared food and provisions for me. All the merchants likewise prepared their provisions. On the third day, at sunrise, they all left that place. After leaving, they said to one another, 'We should hurry now and not look back at the land of Siṃhala.' With these words, I and the company swiftly went to where the holy Horse King was. Arriving, we saw the Horse King eating grass, rising, and shaking his mane. At that moment the very ground of the land of Siṃhala trembled. The Horse King spoke three times: 'Who now wishes to go to the far shore?' The merchants said, 'We wish to go to the far shore now.' The holy Horse King, rousing himself, said, 'You should go forward and do not look back at the land of Siṃhala.' Having spoken thus, I mounted the Horse King first, and then the five hundred merchants all climbed onto the horse. Then all the rākṣasīs of the land of Siṃhala, hearing that the merchants had left, cried out in anguish and rushed after them, weeping, wailing, and shouting in pursuit. When the merchants heard those sounds, they looked back, and without realizing it, they slipped and fell into the water. The rākṣasīs then seized their bodies and devoured the flesh. Only I alone reached the southern continent of Jambudvīpa. The holy Horse King reached the shore, and after dismounting, I circumambulated the holy Horse King three times, then left that place and journeyed on to my homeland, returning to my own home.

When I reached home, my parents saw me come back. They embraced their son, joyful and yet weeping with sorrow. Because they had always wept for me, their eyes had grown dim, but now with that weeping their blindness was cured, and their sight became clear as before. Then my parents and I were together, and I told them all the hardships I had endured. Hearing it, my parents said to me, 'Today you have escaped with your life and returned safely. This brings us great comfort, and we have no more worries. We do not need whatever riches you have acquired. Now we know our years are many, and we are frail with age. We need you to support us, to help us in and out, and to wait on us. When death comes to us, you will be the one to give us a proper burial.' Thus did my parents, in those days, comfort me with kind words. O Sarvanīvaraṇaviṣkambhin! At that time, as a caravan leader, I endured such dangers and sorrows."

佛告除蓋障菩薩：「時聖馬王者，即觀自在菩薩摩訶薩是。於是危難死怖畏中救濟於我。除蓋障！我今不能廣說是觀自在菩薩摩訶薩功德數量，我今為汝略說是觀自在身毛孔中所有功德。除蓋障！觀自在菩薩身有金毛孔，而於其中有無數百千萬俱胝那庾多彥達嚩，彼等無輪迴苦，而常受於最勝快樂，天物受用無有窮盡，無有惡心、無憎嫉心、無貪瞋癡，常行八聖道，恒受法樂。除蓋障！於是金毛孔中復有放光如意寶珠，隨彼彥達嚩眾思念所須，隨意滿足。於是金毛孔中有斯出現。復有黑毛孔，而於其中有無數百千萬俱胝那庾多具通神仙之人，其中有具一神通者，或有具二三四五神通之者，亦有具足六神通者。於是毛孔之中，復現銀地，黃金為山白銀為峯，三十七愛染蓮華寶莊嚴其山。於其山中而有八萬四千神仙之眾。如是仙眾出現劫樹，深紅為身、黃金白銀以為枝葉，放寶光明。又於一一毛孔現四寶池，八功德水充滿其中，而有妙華盈滿池中。於池岸側有天妙香樹、栴檀香樹。又有莊嚴劫樹，上懸莊嚴天冠珥璫，復有殊妙瓔珞而嚴飾之，又於其上懸眾寶鈴，又挂妙衣憍尸迦服。於斯一一劫樹之下，各有一百彥達嚩王，而於恒時奏諸音樂。復有群鹿羽族靈禽，聞斯樂音悉皆思惟：『諸有情類多受輪迴之苦。何故南贍部洲人見受生老病死愛別離等如是諸苦？』此諸禽鳥鹿等於是思惟此大乘莊嚴寶王經如是之名，於是而有天妙上味飲食、天諸妙香、天妙衣服等物，隨彼所思如意滿足。」是時除蓋障菩薩白世尊言：「我今聞是甚為希有。世尊！」佛告善男子：「於意云何？」除蓋障菩薩白世尊言：「如是有情心唯思念此經名號，尚獲如是利益安樂。若復有人得聞此經，而能書寫受持讀誦供養恭敬，如是之人常得安樂。或復有人於此經中書寫一字，斯人當來不受輪迴之苦，而永不於屠兒魁膾下賤之類如是家生，所生之身而永不受背傴攣躄、醜脣缺漏、疥癩等病不可喜相，獲得身相圓滿、諸根具足、有大力勢，何況具足受持讀誦書寫供養恭敬之人所獲功德。」

爾時世尊微笑告言：「善男子！觀自在菩薩摩訶薩，彼於無時而是來時。善男子！彼菩薩身而有毛孔名灑甘露，於是毛孔之中有無數百千萬俱胝那庾多天人止住其中，有證初地二地乃至有證十地菩薩摩訶薩位者。除蓋障，彼灑甘露毛孔之中而有六十金銀寶山，其一一山高六萬踰繕那，有九萬九千峯，以天妙金寶周遍莊嚴，一生補處菩薩於彼而住。復有無數百千萬俱胝那庾多彥達嚩眾，於彼毛孔而於恒時奏諸音樂。除蓋障！彼灑甘露毛孔之中，又有無數百千萬俱胝那庾多宮殿，以天摩尼妙寶周遍莊嚴，見者其意適然，復有種種真珠瓔珞而校飾之。於彼宮殿各有菩薩說微妙法，出是宮殿各各經行。於經行處而有七十七池，八功德水盈滿其中，有種種華，所謂嗢鉢羅華、鉢訥摩華、矩母那華、奔拏利迦華、噪彥馱迦華、曼那囉華、摩賀曼那囉華充滿其中。彼經行地復有適意劫樹，以天金銀而為其葉莊嚴，於上懸諸天冠珥璫珍寶瓔珞種種莊嚴。彼諸菩薩而經行已，於夜分時憶念種種大乘之法，思惟寂滅之地，思惟地獄、鬼趣、傍生。作如是思惟已，而入慈心三摩地。除蓋障！於彼毛孔，如是菩薩出現其中。復有毛孔名金剛面，而於其中有無數百千萬緊那囉眾，種種華鬘瓔珞遍身莊嚴，以妙塗香用塗其體，見者歡喜。而彼恒時念佛法僧，得不壞信，住法忍慈，思惟寂滅遠離輪迴。如是如是，善男子！彼緊那囉眾心生愛樂。彼之毛孔有無數山，而於其中有金剛寶窟、金寶窟、銀寶窟、玻胝迦寶窟、蓮華色寶窟、青色寶窟，復有具足七寶窟。如是，善男子！於彼毛孔有斯變現。而於是中又有無數劫樹，無數栴檀大樹、微妙香樹，無數浴池，百千萬天宮寶殿，玻胝迦莊嚴巧妙清淨適意寶殿，於彼出現。如是宮殿，緊那囉眾止息其中。既止息已說微妙法，所謂布施波羅蜜多法及持戒、忍辱、精進、靜慮、智慧波羅蜜多法。說是六波羅蜜多已，各各經行。而於是處有黃金經行道、白銀經行道。於是周匝而有劫樹，金銀為葉，上有種種天衣寶冠珥璫寶鈴瓔珞，如是莊嚴彼經行處。又有樓閣，緊那囉於是經行，思惟沈淪生苦、老苦、病苦、死苦、貧窮困苦、愛別離苦、冤憎會苦、求不得苦，或墮針刺地獄、黑繩地獄、喝醯大地獄、極熱大地獄、火坑地獄，或墮餓鬼趣，如是有情受大苦惱。彼緊那囉作是思惟。如是，善男子！彼緊那囉樂甚深法，思惟圓寂真界，復於恒時念觀自在菩薩摩訶薩名號。由是稱念，而於是時得諸資具悉皆豐足。善男子！觀自在菩薩摩訶薩乃至名號亦難得值。何以故？彼與一切有情如大父母，一切恐怖有情施之無畏，開導一切有情為大善友。如是，善男子！彼觀自在菩薩摩訶薩有六字大明陀羅尼，難得值遇。若有人能稱念其名，當得生彼毛孔之中不受沈淪，出一毛孔而復往詣入一毛孔於彼而住，乃至當證圓寂之地。」時除蓋障菩薩白世尊言：「世尊！今此六字大明陀羅尼，為從何處而得耶？」

佛告善男子：「此六字大明陀羅尼，是觀自在菩薩摩訶薩微妙本心。若有知是微妙本心，即知解脫。」時除蓋障菩薩白世尊言：「世尊！諸有情中有能知是六字大明陀羅尼者不？」佛言：「無有知者。善男子！此六字大明陀羅尼，無量相應如來而尚難知，菩薩云何而得知此觀自在菩薩微妙本心處耶？我往他方國土，無有知是六字大明陀羅尼處者。若有人能而常受持此六字大明陀羅尼者，於是持誦之時，有九十九殑伽河沙數如來集會；復有如微塵數菩薩集會；復有三十二天天子眾亦皆集會；復有四大天王而於四方為其衛護；復有娑誐囉龍王、無熱惱龍王、得叉迦龍王、嚩蘇枳龍王，如是無數百千萬俱胝那庾多龍王而來衛護是人；復有地中藥叉、虛空神等而亦衛護是人。善男子！觀自在菩薩身毛孔中俱胝數如來止息已，讚歎是人言：『善哉善哉！善男子！汝能得是如意摩尼之寶。汝七代種族皆當得其解脫。』善男子！彼持明人於其腹中所有諸蟲，當得不退轉菩薩之位。若復有人以此六字大明陀羅尼身中項上戴持者，善男子！若有得見是戴持之人，則同見於金剛之身，又如見於舍利窣堵波，又如見於如來，又如見於具一俱胝智慧者。若有善男子善女人而能依法念此六字大明陀羅尼，是人而得無盡辯才、得清淨智聚、得大慈悲，如是之人日日得具六波羅蜜多圓滿功德，是人得天轉輪灌頂。是人於其口中所出之氣觸他人身，所觸之人發起慈心、離諸瞋毒，當得不退轉菩薩，速疾證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。若此戴持之人以手觸於餘人之身，蒙所觸者，是人速得菩薩之位。若是戴持之人見其男子女人童男童女，乃至異類諸有情身，如是得所見者悉皆速得菩薩之位，如是之人而永不受生老病死苦、愛別離苦，而得不可思議相應念誦今此六字大明陀羅尼。」作如是說。
