Where is taught this³²⁴ sūtra of  
The Sublime Golden Light.  
  
“This sūtra is inconceivable;  
Its ocean of qualities is endless,  
And it liberates all beings  
From the oceans of many sufferings.³²⁵  
  
“I see the beginning of this sūtra  
And also its middle and its conclusion.  
This lord of sūtras is extremely profound.  
There is no analogy that exists for it.  
  
“All of the particles that exist  
In the Ganges and on the earth,  
In the oceans and in the sky,  
Cannot serve as an analogy for it.  
  
“The entrance to the Dharma realm  
Should be entered at that time.  
Jina Śākyamuni should be seen  
In the center of a stūpa,  
  
“Which is the profound, enduring stūpa  
That is the embodiment of the Dharma,  
Teaching this sūtra perfectly  
With a voice that is beautiful.  
  
“May the happiness of³²⁶ devas  
And of humans be experienced  
For as many countless, innumerable  
Millions of eons as there are.  
  
“Whoever listens to this sūtra  
Should think they will accomplish  
My inconceivable accumulation of merit;  
At that time they should know this to be so.  
  
“Someone should, in order to listen to this sūtra,  
Be able to endure the intense pain  
Of crossing over a hundred-yojana-wide  
Moat filled with a blazing inferno.  
  
“Then as soon as they enter into  
The temple or the dwelling,  
Their bad karma will be eliminated  
And all the qualities of nightmares,  
  
“Harm from planets and lunar asterisms,  
And terrible evil spirits and demons  
Will be entirely driven away  
The moment that they enter there.  
  
“There the dharmabhāṇaka should make a seat  
That is in the form of a lotus  
Exactly as has been revealed  
By nāga kings in a dream.³²⁷  
  
“Having sat upon that seat,  
They should teach this sūtra,  
Write it out, and read it out loud,  
And similarly, they should learn it.  
  
“After they have risen from that seat,  
Even if they go to another land,  
Miraculous manifestations  
Will appear on that seat.  
  
“Sometimes the form of the  
Dharmabhāṇaka will appear there,
