八難九橫五濁三災。水火盜賊疾疫飢饉。怨家債主王法縣官。憑陵之勢萬端虔殺之法千變。悉能轉禍為福改危成安。復有求富貴須祿位延壽命多子息。生民之大欲。世間之切要。莫不隨心應念自然滿足。故知諸佛方便事絕思量。弟子司牧寡方庶績未又。方憑藥師本願成就眾生。今謹依經教於某處建如干僧如干日藥師齋懺。現前大眾至心敬禮本師釋迦如來。禮藥師如來。慈悲廣覆不乖本願不棄世間。興四等雲降六度雨。滅生死火除煩惱箭。十方世界。若輪燈而明朗。七百鬼神。尋結縷而應訃。障逐香然災無復有。命隨幡續漸登常住。遊甚深之法性。入無等之正覺。行願圓滿如藥師如來。

The eight difficulties, the nine untimely deaths, the five defilements, the three disasters; water, fire, bandits, thieves, pestilence, and famine; enemies, creditors, king's laws, and magistrates; oppressive powers of ten thousand kinds and cruel murders of a thousand varieties—all can be turned from calamity into fortune, transformed from danger into security. Moreover, there are those seeking wealth and nobility, needing office and rank, prolonging their lifespans, or desiring many offspring: the great desires of living people and the pressing essentials of the world are all, according with their minds and responding to their thoughts, naturally fulfilled. Hence we know that the skillful means of the Buddhas surpass all thought.

I, your disciple, oversee the people with few strategies; the myriad achievements are not yet ordered. I rely precisely on Bhaiṣajyaguru's fundamental vows to bring sentient beings to completion. Now, reverently following the scriptural teachings, at [such] a place I establish a Bhaiṣajyaguru fast and repentance with so many monks for so many days. The great assembly here present pays homage with utmost devotion to our Original Teacher, Śākyamuni Tathāgata; pays homage to Bhaiṣajyaguru Tathāgata. His compassion broadly covers, not contravening his fundamental vows nor abandoning the world. He raises the clouds of the four immeasurables and showers the rain of the six perfections; he extinguishes the fires of birth and death and removes the arrows of affliction. The worlds of the ten directions are bright and clear as revolving lamps; the seven hundred spirits follow the knotted cords and respond to the summons. Hindrances vanish with the burning of incense, and calamities exist no more; life continues with the prolonging of banners, gradually ascending to the eternal abode. May we roam through the profound Dharma-nature, enter the unexcelled true enlightenment, and fulfill our practices and vows just like Bhaiṣajyaguru Tathāgata.
