請觀世音菩薩消伏毒害陀羅尼三昧儀 1.43

1.43

行人先知，云何呪義？疏云：「呪名呪願，如螟蛉法，亦名呪術。此術法盡與十種行人毒害相應，密能消伏。」（十種行人者，分段有八：一、受苦人，二、修世善，三、修聲聞，四、修緣覺，五、修六度，修道，七、修別，八、修圓。變易有二：別三十心人；圓初住已上。各有苦業，愛見、毒害，具如疏釋。）

Practitioners should first know: what is the meaning of mantra? The Commentary says: "Mantra (zhou) means 'to wish' (zhouyuan), like the method of the digger wasp; it is also called 'mantric art'. These methods fully accord with the poison and harm of the ten classes of practitioners, secretly capable of eliminating and subduing them." (Regarding the ten classes of practitioners, in the mortal realm of fragmented [births and deaths] there are eight: first, those experiencing suffering; second, those practicing worldly goodness; third, those practicing the śrāvaka [path]; fourth, those practicing the pratyekabuddha [path]; fifth, those practicing the six perfections; [sixth,] those practicing the [bodhisattva] path; seventh, those practicing the separate [teaching]; eighth, those practicing the complete [teaching]. In the [realm of] inconceivable transformation [birth and death] there are two: people of the thirty mental states of the separate [teaching]; and those from the first abode of the complete [teaching] on up. Each has suffering, karma, love and views, and poison and harm, fully as explained in the Commentary.)
