法苑珠林 60.12

60.12

此呪功能。千劫聚集業障一時誦已皆盡去盡。便獲千佛所集善根。當得背於千劫流轉中生老病死邊際。轉此生已見千轉輪王。欲生清淨佛國者。晝三夜三。一一時中各誦二十一遍。至二十一日。如其所欲即得如意。或見金色佛像菩薩形像。即是先相。命終已後便生菩薩大集會中。

The function of this mantra: When one recites it once, the karmic obstacles accumulated over a thousand kalpas are entirely removed and exhausted, and one immediately attains the wholesome roots accumulated by a thousand Buddhas. One shall turn one's back on the extremes of birth, old age, sickness, and death within transmigration across a thousand kalpas. Having transformed this life, one will see a thousand wheel-turning kings (cakravartin). If one wishes to be reborn in a pure Buddha land, three times by day and three times by night, in each period recite it twenty-one times. When reaching twenty-one days, one will obtain according to one's wish whatever one desires. If one sees a golden image of a Buddha or a form of a bodhisattva, that is an auspicious sign beforehand. After one's life ends, one will be reborn amidst the great assembly of bodhisattvas.
