4.14

'Disciple [so-and-so], reverently on behalf of all good people throughout the entire realm of empty space, recites the Longevity Verse spoken by the Buddha seven times, wishing that the lifespan of these good people be lengthened, broadly transforming sentient beings so that all transcend the sea of suffering: / I show kindness to all nāga kings, / both in heaven and in the world; / by means of this compassionate mind of mine, / may all poisons and hatred be extinguished. / By the accumulation of wisdom, / I intentionally destroy this poison; / whether poisonous in taste or tasteless in poison, / may it be broken, destroyed, and sink into the earth.' Make full prostrations. The Buddha said: If one recites this with a pure mind seven times in the early morning, it causes one to have long life. Now, reciting it on behalf of all good people throughout the entire realm of empty space, the merit is exceedingly great.
