陀羅尼雜集 7.27

7.27

When the Buddha preached this dhāraṇī, the great trichiliocosm quaked in six ways; devas performed celestial music in the sky and rained down various fragrant flowers and rare jewels, making offerings to the Buddha, the bodhisattvas, and the great assembly. At that time, ninety-nine koṭis of nayutas of devas and humans gave rise to the aspiration for bodhi. If good men and good women, whether monastic or lay, who give rise to the aspiration for bodhi transcribe, read, and recite this dhāraṇī, the buddhas of the ten directions will immediately see these persons, hear them reading and reciting, making vows and dedicating [merit], and seeing these persons from afar will give rise to joy, immediately conferring vyākaraṇa upon them that they will definitely become buddhas. If any of the four assemblies, in order to seek the Buddha Path, purify their minds, bathe, put on fresh, clean clothes, spread various clean seats, and in an araṇya separate themselves from bustling crowds, free from the mind stained by greed, anger, and defilements, and free from pride and jealousy, exclusively and correctly mind the buddhas of the ten directions as though right before their eyes. At the three times of day and night they repent of all sins and read and recite this dhāraṇī; within seven days, with pure mind and concentrated will, they will see the buddhas of the ten directions. If they cannot see them, then for another two or three periods of seven days, focusing their minds without stopping, immeasurable buddhas will appear before them and preach the Dharma for them, conferring upon them vyākaraṇa that they will become buddhas, and all obscuring karma will be completely eradicated. If they have committed the five heinous sins, violated the grave [precepts], or fundamentally slandered the True Dharma, they will not see the buddhas in person; yet if seen in dreams, they will also eradicate immeasurable sins. If they further exert diligent vigor for another three periods of seven days, they will surely be made to see all buddhas. This dhāraṇī follows the intention of the four assemblies: if they are diligent and practice according to the rite, what they wish will follow their hearts.
