法苑珠林 34.84

34.84

佛告童子假使有人受此經典。持諷讀誦為他人說。具足備悉令不缺減速成所願終無恐懼。若到縣官不見侵枉。若行賊中不見危害。若行大火中即為消滅。若行大水中終不沒溺。天龍鬼神弊惡之神無敢觸者。諸惡獸無敢近者。諸魅魍魎無能嬈者。若在閑居獨處。則為如來之所擁護。佛說如是。帝釋善面悅童子等。聞經歡喜作禮而退。

The Buddha told the youth: 'Suppose someone receives this sūtra, upholds, recites, chants it, and explains it to others, fully and completely without omission; their vows will be swiftly accomplished, and they will ultimately have no fear. If they go before government officials, they will not be wronged or infringed upon. If they walk among bandits, they will suffer no harm. If they walk through great fire, it will instantly be extinguished. If they walk through great waters, they will never drown. Devas, dragons, ghosts, spirits, and malicious deities will not dare touch them; wild ferocious beasts will not dare approach them; and demons, sprites, and mountain goblins will be unable to harass them. If they dwell in secluded places alone, they will be protected by the Tathāgatas.' When the Buddha spoke thus, Śakra, the youth Miaoshanyue, and others heard the sūtra, rejoiced, paid homage, and departed.
