七佛八菩薩所說大陀羅尼神呪經 1.28

1.28

「誦呪五遍，縷五色結作十四結，繫兩手。此陀羅尼句乃是過去七十二億諸佛所說，我今已說，欲護正法故、度眾生故、成諸行人得從萬行故、諸聲聞人未證果者令得果故、令緣覺人度十二因緣大河拯濟群生故、令諸菩薩從初發心乃至十地願果成故，說此陀羅尼。又此陀羅尼力，能令三千大千世界其中眾生，處在幽隱及三塗苦，聞此陀羅尼一經耳處得宿命智，乃至十四生悉得解脫。若有善男子善女人欲修行此陀羅尼者，應當三七日淨自洗浴著新淨衣，若於剎中若清淨地，於夜後分明星出時語此大明星：『為我語虛空藏菩薩。』如是三說。『除我根本罪。』如是三說。『除我障道罪。』如是三說。『與我四沙門果。』如是三說。我於爾時即往其所，住其人前授與四沙門果。『我誓當與。』如是三說，燒沈水香，若夢得阿摩勒果、若得呵梨勒果、若得頻婆勒果、若得毘醯勒果若杏等，爾時當勤精進。若雞子等若拳等，爾時即於明星出時誦呪七遍，若心好時復誦七遍。虛空藏菩薩常遊諸國，為諸行人得從萬行。」

"Recite the spell five times, tie five-coloured thread into fourteen knots, and bind it to both hands. These dhāraṇī phrases were spoken by seventy-two billion Buddhas of the past; I now speak them because I wish to protect the True Dharma, to cross living beings over, to bring practitioners to fulfillment so that they may practice the myriad conducts, to cause those śrāvakas who have not yet realised the fruits to attain the fruits, to cause pratyekabuddhas to cross the great river of the twelve links of conditioned arising and rescue the multitude of living beings, and to cause bodhisattvas from their first arousal of the mind up to the tenth stage to have the fruits of their vows fulfilled—for these reasons I speak this dhāraṇī. Furthermore, the power of this dhāraṇī can cause living beings in the great trichiliocosm who abide in darkness and the suffering of the three bad destinies, upon this dhāraṇī once passing through their ears, to attain the knowledge of past lives and attain liberation for up to fourteen births. If good men or good women wish to practice this dhāraṇī, they should purify and bathe themselves for three weeks (twenty-one days), put on fresh, clean clothes, and in a temple or on pure ground, during the last watch of the night when the morning star appears, say to this great morning star: 'Speak on my behalf to Ākāśagarbha Bodhisattva.' Speak thus three times. 'Eradicate my root transgressions.' Speak thus three times. 'Eradicate my transgressions that obstruct the path.' Speak thus three times. 'Bestow upon me the four fruits of śramaṇahood.' Speak thus three times. At that time, I will immediately go to their place, stand before that person, and bestow upon them the four fruits of śramaṇahood. 'I vow that I shall bestow them.' Speak thus three times, burn aloeswood incense, and if in a dream one obtains an āmalaka fruit, a harītakī fruit, a bibhītaka fruit, a vibhītaka fruit, or apricots and the like, then one should be vigorously diligent. If one dreams of a hen's egg or a fist and the like, then when the morning star appears, recite the spell seven times; if one's mind is serene, recite it again seven times. Ākāśagarbha Bodhisattva constantly roams the various lands so that practitioners may practice the myriad conducts."
