佛頂尊勝陀羅尼經教跡義記 2.70

2.70

唐云壽命皆得清淨也。解曰：真言力大，持即報深，壽命延長故得清淨。又解：命欲將終還得增壽，縱生惡處惡滅善增。如《大悲經》云：「說所生惡處有十五種：一者不被飢餓困苦死，二者不被囚禁楚杖死，三者不被怨家酬對死，四者不被軍陳相殺死，五者不為虎狼殘害死，六者不為毒蛇蝎所中死，七者不為水火焚漂死，八者不為毒藥所中死，九者不為毒害迷心死，十者不為狂亂失念死，十一者不為山岸墜落死，十二者不為惡人厭魅死，十三者不為邪神惡鬼得便死，十四者不為惡病纏身死，十五者不為非分自害死。復得十五種善報：一者所生之處常逢善王，二者常生善國，三者常值好時，四者常逢善友，五者身根清淨，六者道心純熟，七者不犯禁戒，八者所有眷屬恩義和順，九者資具衣食具足，十者恒得他人扶接，十一者所有財寶無人劫奪，十二者意欲所求皆得稱遂，十三者善神衛護，十四者所生之處見佛聞法，十五者所聞正法悟甚深義。」命欲將終生惡處等，以慈持念，其壽轉增，惡境消滅。又妄念欲生、善念欲滅，是人臨終識性昏昧，被魔所惑也。而以陀羅尼力，忽得迴識也。

In Chinese it means: "Lifespan is completely purified." The explanation states: The power of the mantra is vast; if one holds it, the retribution is profound, and because lifespan is extended, it becomes pure. Another explanation: When life is about to end, one regains an increase of lifespan; even if born in an evil place, evil is eliminated and good increases. As the Mahākāruṇika Sūtra says: "It speaks of fifteen kinds of evil places of birth: first, not dying of the hardships of hunger and starvation; second, not dying from imprisonment and beating; third, not dying in conflict with vengeful enemies; fourth, not dying from mutual slaughter in battle; fifth, not dying from being mangled by tigers and wolves; sixth, not dying from being struck by poisonous snakes or scorpions; seventh, not dying from being burned by fire or drowned by water; eighth, not dying from being struck by poison; ninth, not dying from poisons confusing the mind; tenth, not dying from madness and loss of mindfulness; eleventh, not dying from falling from mountains or cliffs; twelfth, not dying from sorcery and black magic by evil people; thirteenth, not dying from evil spirits and wicked ghosts taking advantage; fourteenth, not dying from being afflicted by malignant illness; fifteenth, not dying from improper self-harm. Furthermore, fifteen kinds of good retributions are attained: first, wherever one is born, always encountering a good king; second, always being born in a good country; third, always meeting good times; fourth, always encountering good friends; fifth, having pure bodily faculties; sixth, having a fully ripened resolve for the path; seventh, not violating prohibitions and precepts; eighth, having all kin and retinues harmonious and affectionate; ninth, being fully provided with requisites, clothing, and food; tenth, constantly being supported and received by others; eleventh, having all treasures and wealth safe from plunder; twelfth, having all wishes and desires completely fulfilled; thirteenth, being guarded and protected by good spirits; fourteenth, wherever one is born, seeing Buddhas and hearing the Dharma; fifteenth, understanding the profound meaning of the correct Dharma that one hears." When life is about to end and one is about to be born in evil places, etc., if one recites with compassion, one's lifespan increases further, and evil circumstances are eradicated. Furthermore, when deluded thoughts are about to arise and good thoughts are about to cease, that person at the point of death has a clouded and darkened consciousness, deluded by māras; but through the power of the dhāraṇī, one suddenly regains awareness.
