3.29

大法炬陀羅尼經云。法師說法時。有羅剎女名愛欲。常來惑法師。令心散亂。是故說法處。常須置如來像。香華供養。勿令斷絕。彼羅剎女。見已即自迷亂。不能為障。

The Mahādharmoṣṇīṣa-dhāraṇī-sūtra says: “When a Dharma master expounds the Dharma, there is a rākṣasī named Āi Yù (Sensual Desire) who constantly comes to delude the Dharma master and scatter his mind. Therefore, at the place of expounding the Dharma, one must always install an image of the Tathāgata and make offerings of incense and flowers without interruption. When that rākṣasī sees it, she becomes confused herself and cannot create obstacles.”
