陀羅尼雜集 9.30

9.30

At that time the Buddha said to Ānanda: "You should receive this dhāraṇī-pātra, upholding and chanting it. A Buddha, a World-Honoured One, is extremely difficult to encounter, and this dhāraṇī-pātra is also difficult to hear. If a good man or a good woman receives this dhāraṇī-pātra, upholding and chanting it, they will know their past lives across fourteen lifetimes. If a good man or a good woman upholds this dhāraṇī-pātra, chanting, reciting, and explaining it, they will never be troubled by all spirits, humans, or non-humans; vipers, stinging scorpions, and all poisonous insects will be unable to harm them, poison will not affect them, sorcery will not work against them, weapons will not injure them, rulers will not be able to take advantage of them, and Brahmā, Śakra, and the Four Heavenly Kings will jointly protect them. Ānanda! This dhāraṇī-pātra was spoken by eighty-four thousand koṭis of Buddhas." The Buddha said to Ānanda: "I also wish to speak a dhāraṇī-pātra, wishing that all may have peace and security, have fame and virtue heard afar, have handsome features, possess abundant vigour, and have strong bodily strength; so it is.
