智炬陀羅尼經一卷
Sutra of the Wisdom Torch Dharani
唐三藏法師提雲般若等奉 制譯
Translated by Tripiṭaka Master Divākara of Tang, by Imperial Order
如是我聞：一時佛在日月宮中，與無量大菩薩眾俱，普賢菩薩、文殊師利菩薩、陀羅尼自在王菩薩、執金剛菩薩，如是等菩薩摩訶薩而為上首。
Thus I have heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Sun-Moon Palace, together with a vast, immeasurable assembly of great bodhisattvas. Among them were the Bodhisattvas Samantabhadra, Manjushri, Bodhisattva King of the Free Dharani, and Vajrapani—these and other great bodhisattvas were the leaders.
爾時東方有佛號智炬如來，南方有佛號金光聚如來，西方有佛號實語如來，北方有佛號雷音王如來，各從本國而來此會。
At that time, from the east came a Buddha named Wisdom Torch, from the south came a Buddha named Golden Light Gatherer, from the west came a Buddha named Truth Speaker, and from the north came a Buddha named King of Thunder Sounds. Each of them left their own lands and came to this gathering.
爾時世尊與諸如來及菩薩眾，共在金幢樓觀之中，各坐寶嚴師子之座。時日月天子來詣佛所，頭頂禮敬諸佛菩薩，以眾妙物而為供養。供養畢已，退坐一面，互相謂言：「我等云何從諸如來及菩薩所而得發起一切眾生光明破諸黑闇滿十方智炬陀羅尼耶？以是陀羅尼力故，當令我等能為眾生作大明炬。」說是語時，彼諸如來及菩薩眾即共同聲而說呪曰：
At that time, the World-Honored One, together with the Tathāgatas and the assembly of Bodhisattvas, were gathered within a magnificent stupa adorned with golden banners. Each sat upon a jeweled lion throne. Then the Sun and Moon Gods (Surya and Chandra Deva) approached the Buddha, bowed their heads in reverence to all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and made offerings with various exquisite objects. After presenting their offerings, they stepped back and sat to one side, saying to one another, "How can we, from the Tathāgatas and Bodhisattvas, awaken the Dharani of the Wisdom Torch for all beings—a light that dispels all darkness and fills the ten directions? Through the power of this Dharani, may we become a great bright torch for all beings." As they spoke these words, the Tathāgatas and the assembly of Bodhisattvas simultaneously recited a mantra:

This is the Dharani of the Great Compassionate One, spoken in Sanskrit sounds. When chanted, it invokes the presence and blessings of the holy beings.
The first phrase, *Namo ratna-trayaya*, means "Homage to the Three Jewels." Then, we honor the great Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara.
The core of the dharani is a series of powerful syllables: *Om*, the cosmic sound; *Ah*, the unmanifest; and *Ra Pa Tsa Na Dhi*, the seed syllables of the five Buddha families.
Then comes the heart of the invocation: *Namo sarva tathagatebhyah*. This means "Homage to all the Thus-Gone Ones (Buddhas)."
It continues with affirmations of purity, compassion, and swift action: *Svaha* at the end of many lines is like an offering, an "Amen," meaning "So be it" or "Hail" as we dedicate the recitation.
The dharani ends by invoking the power of all the Buddhas, the Bodhisattvas, and the guardians of the Dharma, and repeats the final dedication *Svaha* to seal the merit.
爾時普賢菩薩告日月天子言：「諸天子！此陀羅尼，八十八億諸佛如來為欲利益諸眾生故之所演說。諸天子！優曇鉢花猶可易現，此陀羅尼出現甚難。諸天子，諸佛出世猶可值遇，此陀羅尼得值甚難。此陀羅尼猶可易得，誦持之者斯復轉難。諸天子！若欲救拔造五逆罪謗正法人、當受阿毘地獄苦者，可於閑處淨塗其地，隨其所辦種種香花而為供養。於三七日中晝夜六時，誦此陀羅尼呪。以是陀羅尼威神力故，令阿毘地獄應時破壞為百千分，是中眾生即得解脫。何況有人在於人間而得聞者，當知是人則為諸佛及我等菩薩之所護念。諸天子！於此所說勿生疑惑。」佛說此經已，日月天眾歡喜奉行。
