陀羅尼雜集 1.39

1.39

此陀羅尼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、成諸行人德從萬行故、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萌故、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，普聞此陀羅尼一逕耳處得宿命智，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，應當三七二十一日，淨自洗浴著新淨衣，若於制剎中若清淨地，於夜後分明星出時，語此大時明星：「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，住其人前受與四沙門果。「我誓當與。」如是三說。燒沈水香，若夢得阿摩勒果、若得訶梨勒果、若得頻婆果、若毘醯勒果、若杏等，爾時當懃精進。若雞子等、若捲等，爾時即得明星出時誦呪七遍，若心好時誦七十遍。虛空藏菩薩常遊諸國，為諸行人得從萬行，是為得從萬行。

This dhāraṇī was spoken by seventy-two koṭis of past Buddhas, and I now have spoken it. In order to protect the true Dharma, to deliver sentient beings, to bring about the virtue of practitioners following the myriad practices, 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 dependent origination and rescue the multitude of beings, and to cause bodhisattvas from their initial resolve up to the tenth stage to realise the fruit of their vows—for these reasons I speak this dhāraṇī. Furthermore, by the power of this dhāraṇī, sentient beings within the great trichiliocosm who are in darkness and the three wretched realms, once this dhāraṇī passes by their ears, will universally attain the knowledge of past lives, and up to fourteen births will all attain liberation. If there are good men or good women who wish to cultivate and practice this dhāraṇī, they should for three sevens—twenty-one days—cleanse and bathe themselves, put on fresh, clean clothes, and either in a stūpa or on clean ground, in the latter part of the night when the morning star appears, say to this morning star of the great hour: 'Speak for me to Ākāśagarbha Bodhisattva.' Say this three times. 'Eliminate my fundamental sins.' Say this three times. 'Eliminate my sins that obstruct the Path.' Say this three times. 'Bestow upon me the four fruits of śramaṇahood.' Say this three times. I will at that time go to their location, stand before that person, and confer the four fruits of śramaṇahood upon them: 'I vow to bestow them.' Say this three times. Burn agarwood incense. If in a dream one obtains an āmalaka fruit, a harītakī fruit, a bimbijāla fruit, a vibhītaka fruit, or an apricot or the like, then one should be diligent and energetic. If one dreams of an egg or a roll or the like, one will attain it at once. When the morning star appears, recite the mantra seven times; if one's mind is in good condition, recite it seventy times. Ākāśagarbha Bodhisattva constantly travels through the lands so that practitioners may follow the myriad practices; this is called following the myriad practices.
