陀羅尼雜集 3.59

3.59

我文殊師利，今欲說妙偈，
令此經流布，眾生無疑心。
七佛菩薩眾，所說深妙法，
諸天龍王神，言辭甚奇特。
純說妙行呪，護國及行人，
書寫讀誦者，必共千佛會。
虛空藏菩薩，今欲說半偈，
美嘆書寫者。書寫讀誦者，
上來賢聖教，稱揚轉教人，
言辭惋約美，妙好無窮盡。
猶如大海水，深廣叵窮盡，
此人之功德，億倍過於彼。

"I, Mañjuśrī, now wish to speak wondrous verses,
To cause this sūtra to circulate,
So that sentient beings will have no doubt in their minds.
The deep and wondrous Dharma spoken
By the assembly of the Seven Buddhas and bodhisattvas,
And the words of the devas, dragon kings, and spirits,
Are exceedingly extraordinary.
They purely explain the wondrous practices and mantras
To protect countries and practitioners;
Those who copy, read, and recite it
Will surely assemble with the thousand Buddhas.
Ākāśagarbha Bodhisattva
Now wishes to speak half a verse
In praise of those who copy it:
'As for those who copy, read, and recite it,
Extolling and passing on to others
The teachings of the sages and worthies mentioned above,
Their words are graceful and beautiful,
Wondrous and limitless.
Just like the water of the great ocean,
Immeasurably deep and vast,
The merit of this person
Surpasses that by a hundred million times.'"
