陀羅尼雜集 4.44

4.44

一時世尊安住菩提樹下，與大弟子舍利弗、目揵連等而為上首。復有無量諸大菩薩摩訶薩，其名曰：金剛幢菩薩、金剛藏菩薩、彌勒菩薩、賢劫大士亦為上首。爾時金剛密迹菩薩承佛威神發如是言：「唯願世尊分別演說善門陀羅尼，當為世間作大照明，除滅怨害惡友毒心。若天、龍、夜叉、羅剎、鳩槃茶、人及非人諸大鬼神，噉人精氣、方道蠱毒、怨家詐諂、伺人短者，如是無有救護之處，如來大慈當為除滅怖畏等事，安止眾生於清淨地，行住坐臥乃至夢中常當守護不令憂惱。有是利故，我今勸請大悲調御當為說之，亦當救護大乘人心，令其堅固功德智慧不退之行，悉除怨害命不中夭。」爾時金剛密迹菩薩勸佛已，瞻仰尊顏心有顧念。爾時世尊大悲導師發大雷音聲遍世界，讚歎密迹菩薩：「善哉善哉！善男子！汝今真是菩薩之人，能為眾生得安樂故發如是問。我今亦為一切眾生，當說此善門陀羅尼。」爾時密迹喜未曾有：「唯願矜愍，善分別之。」於時世尊告大士：「諦聽諦聽，善思念之，吾當為汝演暢其義。」密迹言：「唯然受教。」即說呪曰：

At one time, the World-Honoured One was dwelling beneath the bodhi tree, accompanied by the great disciples Śāriputra, Maudgalyāyana, and others as leaders. There were also immeasurable great bodhisattva-mahāsattvas, named Vajradhvaja Bodhisattva, Vajragarbha Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva, and the great beings of the Bhadrakalpa as leaders. At that time, Vajraguhyaka Bodhisattva, receiving the Buddha's spiritual power, spoke these words: "We pray only that the World-Honoured One will explain and expound the Dhāraṇī of the Wholesome Gate to shed great illumination on the world, eliminating malice, harm, and the poisonous intentions of evil companions. If devas, nāgas, yakṣas, rākṣasas, kumbhāṇḍas, humans, and non-humans, as well as various great spirits who consume human essence, use sorcery and demonic poisons, or are hypocritical enemies spying for people's shortcomings—against these, where there is no protection, may the Tathāgata's great compassion eliminate such terrors and establish sentient beings in the pure stage, constantly guarding them while walking, standing, sitting, lying down, and even in dreams, not letting them be anxious or afflicted.

At that time, after Vajraguhyaka Bodhisattva had exhorted the Buddha, he gazed up at the Honoured Countenance with longing mindfulness in his heart. At that time, the World-Honoured One, the Greatly Compassionate Guide, emitted a great thunderous voice echoing throughout the world, and praised Guhyaka Bodhisattva: "Excellent, excellent! Good son! You are truly a person of the bodhisattvas, able to ask such a question so that sentient beings may obtain peace and joy. I now, for the sake of all sentient beings, shall speak this Dhāraṇī of the Wholesome Gate." At that time, Guhyaka felt unprecedented joy: "We pray only that you take pity and explain it well." Thereupon the World-Honoured One told the great being: "Listen attentively, listen attentively, and reflect upon it well; I shall expound its meaning for you." Guhyaka said: "Indeed, I shall receive your teaching." He then spoke the mantra:
