如是我聞：一時薄伽梵，遊化諸國，至廣嚴城，住樂音樹下。與大苾芻眾八千人俱，菩薩摩訶薩三萬六千，及國王、大臣，婆羅門、居士，天龍八部，人非人等，無量大眾，恭敬圍繞，而為說法。
I heard it like this: some time, Bhagavan
traveled in various countries, educated and enlightened all beings there, came
to Vast-Solemn City, and lived under the music tree. Bhagavan was together with
8,000 Buddhist monks and 36,000 Bodhisattvas, and kings, ministers, Brahmins,
Buddhists-at-home, celestial-dragons-eight-parts, humans-but-non-humans, etc.
There were countless masses, those who respectfully surrounded Bhagavan.
Bhagavan spoke of Buddha-law for them.
我是這樣聽到的：有一段時間，薄伽梵旅遊教化於各個國家，來到廣嚴城，居住在樂音樹下。薄伽梵與大和尚群眾八千人在一起，菩薩摩訶薩共有三萬六千，及國王、大臣、婆羅門、居士、天龍八部、人、非人等，有無量大眾，恭敬圍繞薄伽梵，薄伽梵為他們說法。
爾時、曼殊室利法王子，承佛威神，從座而起，偏袒一肩，右膝著地，向薄伽梵，曲躬合掌。白言：「世尊！惟願演說如是相類諸佛名號，及本大願殊勝功德，令諸聞者業障銷除，為欲利樂像法轉時諸有情故」。
At this time, Buddhalaw-prince Manjusri,
received the majestic power of the Buddha, got up from his seat, exposed his
right shoulder, kneeled on the ground with his right knee, faced Bhagavan, bent
his body and closed his palms, and said, "World Venerable! I hope you can
speak of the names of all Buddhas of such appearances and kinds, and their rare
and transcendental merits of their broad vows, so that everyone who hears can
remove obstacles caused by self-evil karma. It is for the sake of benefiting
all sentient beings and making them peace and happiness in the spreading period
of the image of Buddha."
這時候, 曼殊室利法王子，接受佛使人敬畏的神力，從座位起身，露出右肩，右膝蓋接觸地面跪地，面向薄伽梵，彎曲身體並且合掌，說：「世尊! 希望您能演說這樣的相類的所有佛的名號，以及廣大誓願稀有而超絕的功德，令所有聽到的人，都能夠消除自身的業障，這是為了想利益安樂像法流轉時所有有情眾生的緣故。」
爾時、世尊讚曼殊室利童子言：「善哉！善哉！曼殊室利！汝以大悲，勸請我說諸佛名號，本願功德，為拔業障所纏有情，利益安樂像法轉時諸有情故。汝今諦聽！極善思惟！當為汝說」。
這時候，世尊稱讚曼殊室利童子說：「善哉！善哉！曼殊室利！你以大悲心勸我請我講說所有佛的名號及祂們本來的願望和功德，這是為了拔除有情眾生被纏身的業障，利益安樂像法轉時所有有情眾生的緣故。你現在仔細聽！用最大的能力好好地思考！我現在就為你說。」
曼殊室利言：「唯然，願說！我等樂聞！」
Manjusri said: “All right, I hope you say!
We are happy to hear!”
曼殊室利說：「好的，希望您說! 我們很歡喜能夠聽到!」
佛告曼殊師利：「東方去此，過十殑伽沙等佛土，有世界名淨琉璃，佛號藥師琉璃光如來、應、正等覺，明行圓滿、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、薄伽梵。」
The Buddha told Manjusri: "From here
to the east, after passing through the Buddha lands of ten Ganges Rivers Sands,
etc., there is a world named Purity Glaze, and the name of the Buddha is
Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight, the One who should be supported by humans and
heavens, the righteous equal enlightener, the perfect person with bright wisdom
and virtuous action, good death, the person for understanding the world, the
supreme scholar, great man of taming, the teacher in heavens and humans,
Buddha, and Bhagavan. "
佛告訴曼殊師利：「從此處向東方，經過十個恆河沙等等的佛土，有一個世界的名字為清淨的琉璃，佛的名號為藥師琉璃光如來、應該供養(的人/菩薩/如來)、正等正覺(的人)(真正平等圓滿覺悟的人)，具有光明智慧及德行的圓滿(的人)、良好死亡(的人)(善終。不是橫死或惡死的人)、理解世間(的人)、頂極無上的有學問的人、能夠調伏及駕馭眾生的大丈夫、天上與人間的導師、佛、薄伽梵(世尊。印度宗教對聖人的尊稱)。」
「曼殊室利！彼世尊藥師琉璃光如來本行菩薩道時，發十二大願，令諸有情，所求皆得」。
"Manjusri! When the World
Venerable-the Tathagat Pharmacist Glazelight, originally went on Bodhisattva path,
he had his twelve vows to make all sentient beings wishes come true."
「曼殊室利！世尊藥師琉璃光如來原本行菩薩道時，發十二大願，願使所有有情眾生，就他們所願望及祈求的事皆能成真。」
「第一大願：願我來世，得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提時，自身光明熾然照耀無量無數無邊世界，以三十二大丈夫相，八十隨形莊嚴其身；令一切有情如我無異」。
"The First Great Vow: I wish that
when I attain the Supreme Righteous Equality and Righteous Enlightenment in my
future life, my body will be bright and ablaze, shining in countless boundless
worlds, with thirty-two kinds great man’s appearances and eighty appending
forms so as to make my body solemn, and let all sentient beings become the same
like me."
「第一大願：我發願我未來的世界，當我得到頂極無上真正平等、真正覺悟的時候(得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提時)，自己身上的光明，氣焰強烈，強光明亮照射無量無數無邊世界，用三十二大丈夫的相貌，以及八十種緊緊跟隨不相分離的形狀來莊重嚴正我自己的身體；使一切有情眾生就像我一樣。」
「第二大願：願我來世得菩提時，身如琉璃，內外明徹，淨無瑕穢；光明廣大，功德巍巍，身善安住，燄網莊嚴過於日月；幽冥眾生，悉蒙開曉，隨意所趣，作諸事業」。
“The Second Great Vow: I wish that when I
attain Bodhi in the afterlife, my body will be like glazed glass, which is
bright and clear inside and outside, and is clean without any flaws and dirt.
It is bright, broad and grand. The merit and virtue are lofty. The body is good
at dwelling peacefully. Its flaming web is solemn more than the sun and moon.
The concealed and dusky sentient beings, all can be enlightened and know about
the wisdom, and do all kinds of business according to their respective wishes
and interests."
「第二大願：我發願我未來的世界，當我得到覺悟(菩提)的時候(心禪定)，我的身體就像琉璃一樣，內外明亮通透清晰，清淨沒有任何瑕疵和污垢，光明寬廣而且範圍很大，功德崇高而偉大，身體善於平靜地穩固停止不動(身禪定)，身體發光的網狀所呈現的莊嚴，超過太陽與月亮的光明；昏暗不明的眾生(內心沒有光明的眾生，包含陰間的地獄道與餓鬼道的眾生)，都能獲得智慧上的啟迪和明白，隨他們各自的意願和興趣，作所有種種的事業。」
「第三大願：願我來世得菩提時，以無量無邊智慧方便，令諸有情皆得無盡所受用物，莫令眾生，有所乏少」。
"The Third Great Vow: I wish that when
I attain Bodhi in the afterlife, I can use the boundless wisdom and convenience
so as to allow all sentient beings can obtain endlessly needed, benefited and joyed
things. Don't let sentient beings have any shortage of things."
「第三大願：我發願我未來的世界，當我得到覺悟(菩提)的時候，以無量無邊的智慧和方便，令所有有情眾生皆能夠得到無盡的所需要的可以受益和享受的物品，不讓眾生有任何用物上的缺少。」
「第四大願：願我來世得菩提時，若諸有情行邪道者，悉令安住菩提道中；若行聲聞獨覺乘者，皆以大乘而安立之」。
"The Fourth Great Vow: I wish that
when I attain Bodhi in the afterlife, if all sentient beings are going on the
evil path, I will let them dwell peacefully on Bodhi path; if there are people
who go on the little-by-boat of Sounds-Hearing or Alone-Enlightened, I will use
the great-by-boat so as to peace and settle down them.”
「第四大願：我發願我未來的世界，當我得到覺悟(菩提)的時候，如果所有有情眾生走邪門歪道，做邪惡的事，我都讓他們安定地走在菩提道中；如果有眾生走(只救度自己、沒有能力救度他人的)聲聞獨覺的小乘道路，我都以(能夠救度自己同時能夠救度眾生的)大乘佛法(來對他們開演佛教的道理)，將他們安置在大乘佛法的菩提道中，建立他們對大乘佛法的信心、願力和修行。」
「第五大願：願我來世得菩提時，若有無量無邊有情，於我法中修行梵行，一切皆令得不缺戒、具三聚戒；設有毀犯，聞我名已還得清淨，不墮惡趣！」
"The Fifth Great Vow: I wish that when
I attain Bodhi in the afterlife, if there are countless and boundless sentient
beings, to practice the clean action in my Buddha-law, everything will make
them obtain the no-shortage precepts and have the three-accumulated-precepts.
If they destroy or violate any precepts, once they have heard my name, they
will regain pure and clean, and do not fall into the evil-going."
「第五大願：我發願我未來的世界，當我得到覺悟(菩提)的時候，如果有無量無邊有情眾生，在我的佛法中修行清淨的道行，所有事物都使他們得到不缺的戒行(就是在一切事物中，自己的戒行都是圓滿無缺的，就是將一切戒行做到圓滿)、同時擁有攝律儀戒、攝善法戒及攝眾生戒這三種積聚的戒行；如果他們有毀壞或違犯自己清淨的戒行(戒行指在道德上規範約束自己的行為)，當聽到我的名號《藥師琉璃光如來》，這些曾經違犯戒行的人就立刻回復並得到自己戒行上的清淨，不會墮落到地獄道、餓鬼道及畜生道的這三種惡的道路上」
「第六大願：願我來世得菩提時，若諸有情，其身下劣，諸根不具，醜陋、頑愚、盲、聾、瘖、啞、攣躄、背僂、白癩、顛狂、種種病苦；聞我名已，一切皆得端正黠慧，諸根完具，無諸疾苦」。
"The Sixth Great Vow: I wish that when
I attain Bodhi in the afterlife, if all sentient beings, their body is
inferior, their all roots are not perfect, such as the ugly, stubbornly
stupidity, blindness, deafness, mute, dumbness, limb contracture, humpbacked,
skin disease with ringworm, madness, all kinds of sickness. After hearing my
name, everything is gained the upright, perfect, clever and wise, their all
roots are complete, which have no all diseases and pain."
「第六個大願：我發願我未來的世界，當我得到覺悟(菩提)的時候，如果所有有情眾生，他們的身體低下卑劣，所有的眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意這六種根都不具足，像長相很醜又低俗、個性頑固又愚笨、眼睛看不見、耳朵聽不見、喉根嗓啞發不出聲、喉根壞了沒辦法講話、四肢扭曲捲縮、駝背彎腰、有癬瘡的皮膚病、言談和行為違背正常心理、精神狂亂不安、各種各樣的疾病和痛苦；當這些人聽到我的名字(藥師琉璃光如來)後，所有一切的不良相貌和外觀都能得到端正，有缺失的頭腦和個性都能得到聰明和智慧，所有的眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意這六種根都能完美具足，並且沒有任何的疾病和痛苦。」
「第七大願：願我來世得菩提時，若諸有情眾病逼切，無救無歸，無醫無藥，無親無家，貧窮多苦；我之名號一經其耳，眾病悉除，身心安樂，家屬資具悉皆豐足，乃至證得無上菩提」。
"The Seventh Great Vow: I wish that
when I attain Bodhi in the afterlife, if all the sentient beings are annoyed
and approached by many diseases, and there is no salvation, no belonging, no
cure, no medical treatment, no family members, no family, but poverty and a lot
of suffering; once my name is passing through his ears, many diseases are
eliminated. His physical and mental body is well-being. Family members, assets
and living utensils can richly satisfy him, and even he can prove the supreme
Bodhi."
「第七大願：我發願我未來的世界，當我得到覺悟(菩提)的時候，如果所有有情眾生被各種各樣的眾多的疾病所逼惱靠近，他們的疾病沒有辦法被救治，也沒有人和地方可以讓他們的身與心有歸屬和依靠。沒有可以醫治這些疾病的人，也沒有藥可以醫治這些疾病。他們沒有親人、也沒有家，他們經濟貧乏、生活窮困、沒錢又感到很多的痛苦；我的名號《藥師琉璃光如來》一旦經過他們的耳朵，讓他們聽到了，聽到他們的心坎裡了，他們眾多的疾病全部都能夠消除，他們的身與心都能夠平安和喜樂，家屬、資產(財產)及生活用具都能讓他們豐富擁有並感到滿足，並且他們能夠上進而證道，得到頂極無上的覺悟(菩提) (即是證得頂極無上正等正覺)。」
「第八大願：願我來世得菩提時，若有女人為女百惡之所逼惱，極生厭離，願捨女身；聞我名已，一切皆得轉女成男，具丈夫相，乃至證得無上菩提」。
"The Eighth Great Vow: I wish that
when I attain Bodhi in the afterlife, if a woman is annoyed by the hundreds bad
sufferings of a woman, and she has a great dislike for this and is willing to
abandon the female’s body; once she has heard my name, everything of her can be
transformed from female to male, she therefore has the appearance of a man, and
even she can prove the supreme Bodhi.”
「第八大願：我發願我未來的世界，當我得到覺悟(菩提)的時候，如果有女人被做為女人百種惡苦所逼迫和煩惱，對當女人產生極大的厭離心，她因此願意捨棄女人的身體；一旦她聽聞我的名號《藥師琉璃光如來》，一切皆能轉變女相成為男相，她因此具有成年男人的相貌，並能進一步證道，得到無上的覺悟，完全解脫做為女人百種惡苦所逼迫的生死煩惱。」
「第九大願：願我來世得菩提時，令諸有情出魔罥網，解脫一切外道纏縛；若墮種種惡見稠林，皆當引攝置於正見，漸令修習諸菩薩行，速證無上正等菩提！」
"The Ninth Great Vow: I wish that I
make all the sentient beings out of the entangled and entangled web of demons
when I attain Bodhi in the afterlife, and free all of them from the
entanglement and restraint of the Outer Path; if all sentient beings
deprave themselves in the dense forest of the various evil views, I
will guide them, influence them and place them in the right views, and
gradually make them practice and learn all the Bodhisattva’s good deeds, so
that they can prove the supreme, upright and equal Bodhi as soon as possible!”
「第九個大願：我發願我未來的世界，當我得到覺悟(菩提)的時候，將使所有有情眾生離開(個人邪惡煩惱的)惡魔所纏繞及糾結的魔網﹝這裡的「魔」是指「個人生死煩惱」的意思。意思是指每個人自己的五陰魔及死魔﹞，解脫一切外道的纏繞和束縛；如果有情眾生墮落在各種邪惡的見解的濃密的森林中，我都將他們引導及攝受並置放他們於正確的見解，漸漸令他們修行及學習所有的菩薩的善行，讓他們盡快證得無上正等正覺(菩提)！﹝也就是能夠讓眾生盡快成就正覺佛，但是還未達到妙覺佛及圓覺佛的程度。﹞」
「第十大願：願我來世得菩提時，若諸有情王法所加，縛錄鞭撻，繫閉牢獄，或當刑戮，及餘無量災難凌辱，悲愁煎逼，身心受苦；若聞我名，以我福德威神力故，皆得解脫一切憂苦！」
"The Tenth Great Vow: I wish that when
I attain Bodhi in the afterlife, if all sentient beings are harmed by the
King-Law, tied up with ropes, beaten with whips, imprisoned in prison, or
deserved to be punished or executed, even suffered more kinds of innumerable
disasters and insults, and they feel sad, tragic and sorrowful torture and
persecution in heart, and both of their physical and mental body are in
suffering; if they can hear my name, I will use my blessing, virtuous, prestige
and spiritual power to make them all free from all annoyed suffering! "
「第十個大願：我發願我未來的世界，當我得到覺悟(菩提)的時候，如果所有有情眾生被王法所加害，被用繩索綑綁起來又被用鞭子打，被囚禁在監獄之中，或者應當受刑罰或被處死，甚至遭受更多種的無量災難及凌辱，內心感到悲戚及哀愁的煎熬和逼迫，身與心都受苦；如果他們能夠聽到我的名號《藥師琉璃光如來》，我就用我的福德威神力量的緣故﹝加持他們﹞，使他們都能夠解脫這一切煩惱的痛苦！」
「第十一大願：願我來世得菩提時，若諸有情饑渴所惱，為求食故造諸惡業；得聞我名，專念受持，我當先以上妙飲食飽足其身，後以法味畢竟安樂而建立之」。
"The Eleventh Great Vow: I wish that
when I attain Bodhi in the afterlife, if all sentient beings are troubled by
hunger and thirst, and they will do all kinds of evil karma for the sake of
food; if they can hear my name, concentrate on chanting my name, understanding
and perceiving it in heart, and holding it forever, I should first satisfy
their body with the supremely delicious diet, and then make them peace and
happiness with the taste of the Buddha-law after all so as to establish it. "
「第十一大願：我發願我未來的世界，當我得到覺悟(菩提)的時候，如果所有有情眾生被饑餓及口渴所煩惱，又為了求取飲食的緣故，造作各種惡業；如果他們能夠聽到我的名號《藥師琉璃光如來》，專心念誦我的名號，領受在心，持久不忘，我當先以至上美妙的飲食飽足他們的身體，然後再以佛法的美味畢竟讓他們感到平安和喜樂，進一步建立他們對修行學佛的信心、願力和實踐。」
「第十二大願：願我來世得菩提時，若諸有情貧無衣服，蚊虻寒熱，晝夜逼惱；若聞我名，專念受持，如其所好即得種種上妙衣服，亦得一切寶莊嚴具，華鬘、塗香，鼓樂眾伎，隨心所翫，皆令滿足」。
"The Twelfth Great Vow: I wish that
when I attain Bodhi in the afterlife, if all sentient beings are in poverty and
without clothes, bitten by mosquitoes and insects, feel cold in winter, feel
very hot in summer, and persecuted by all these troubles, day by day and night
by night; if they can hear my name, recite my name attentively, understand and
perceive it in heart, and never forget it, they can get all kinds of supreme
wonderful clothes, as well as all of the living utensils with the treasures and
solemn, according to their preferences. Wreaths, spices, drums, musical
instruments and popular skills can all come to study, watch or enjoy as they
wish. All of these will make them feel satisfied."
「第十二大願：我發願我未來的世界，當我得到覺悟(菩提)的時候，如果所有有情眾生貧窮沒有衣服穿，經常被蚊蟲咬，冬天感到寒冷，夏天感到酷熱，無論是白天和黑夜，他們都受到各種這些煩惱的逼迫；如果他們能夠聽到我的名號《藥師琉璃光如來》，專心念誦我的名號，領受在心，持久不忘，就能依他們所喜好的，立刻能得到各種無上的美妙的衣服，也能得到一切珍寶莊嚴的生活器具、花圈、香料、鼓、樂器及大眾技藝，都能隨著他們自己的心願來研習或觀賞，使他們感到滿足。」
「曼殊室利！是為彼世尊藥師琉璃光如來、應、正等覺行菩薩道時，所發十二微妙上願」。
"Manjusri! These are the twelve subtle
supreme vows made by the World Venerable-the Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight,
the One who should be supported by heavens and humans, and the righteous equal
enlightener, while it is going in the Bodhisattva Path."
「曼殊室利！這就是那位世尊藥師琉璃光如來、應被天上與人間所供養、正等正覺的人，當祂在修行菩薩道的時候，所發的十二個深奧玄妙至上的誓願。」
「復次、曼殊室利！彼世尊藥師琉璃光如來行菩薩道時，所發大願，及彼佛土功德莊嚴，我若一劫、若一劫餘，說不能盡。然彼佛土，一向清淨，無有女人，亦無惡趣，及苦音聲；琉璃為地，金繩界道，城、闕、宮、閣，軒、窗、羅網，皆七寶成；亦如西方極樂世界，功德莊嚴，等無差別。於其國中，有二菩薩摩訶薩：一名日光遍照，二名月光遍照。是彼無量無數菩薩眾之上首，次補佛處，悉能持彼世尊藥師琉璃光如來正法寶藏。是故曼殊室利！諸有信心善男子、善女人，應當願生彼佛世界」。
"Moreover, Manjushri! The World
Venerable-the Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight, when he went in the path of
Bodhisattva, his great vows and his merit and solemn of his Buddha's land, if I
say it for a long, long time, I still can’t finish it. However, it is always
clean in his Buddha’s land, where is no woman, evil-going, and painful sounds;
glaze as a ground, gold rope as a boundary and road. City, watchtower, palace,
pavilion, windowed promenade, window, light and soft net is composed of seven
kinds of treasures; it is also like the Western Utmost Bliss World, the merits
are solemn, and which are equivalent to each other and no difference. In this
country, there are two Bodhisattva Mahasas: one is named as Sunshine-Generally,
and the other one is named as Moonlight-Generally. Both of them are in the top
position of those innumerable countless Bodhisattvas, are in the alternate
position for the Buddha, and can understand and hold on the righteous
Buddha-law treasures which are taught by the World Venerable, the Tathagata
Pharmacist Glazelight. Therefore, Manjushri! Good men and good women, all those
who are confident in this should wish to rebirth in such Buddha world."
「再說，曼殊室利！那位世尊藥師琉璃光如來，在行走(修行)菩薩道的時候，祂所發的大願，及祂的佛土功德莊嚴，如果我用很長很長的一段時間來說，我都說不完。然而，祂的佛土，一向清淨，沒有女人，沒有惡趣，也沒有痛苦的音聲；琉璃作為地面，金繩作為界線及道路，城市、瞭望的樓台、宮殿、樓閣，開窗的長廊、窗戶、輕柔羅網，都是用金、銀、琉璃、水晶、硨磲、珊瑚、琥珀七種寶物所構成；世尊藥師琉璃光如來佛土也像西方極樂世界一樣，功德莊嚴，相等而沒有差別。在這世尊藥師琉璃光如來佛國土中，有二位菩薩摩訶薩：一位名號叫做《日光遍照》(菩薩)，另一位名號叫做《月光遍照》(菩薩)。是那些無量無數菩薩大眾中的位置中最尊貴的一位，是處於候補佛的位置，祂們都能持守該世尊藥師琉璃光如來所傳授的正法寶藏(佛法實相的功德寶藏，即是空性/佛性，及從中生出的一切法財，即是法性)。所以，曼殊室利！所有有信心的善男子、善女人，應當發願往生該佛(藥師琉璃光如來)世界。」(註：東方藥師琉璃光如來佛淨土與西方阿彌陀佛淨土等同無二。即是一。)
爾時、世尊，復告曼殊室利童子言：「曼殊室利！有諸眾生，不識善惡，惟懷貪吝，不知布施及施果報，愚癡無智，闕於信根，多聚財寶，勤加守護。見乞者來，其心不喜，設不獲已而行施時，如割身肉，深生痛惜。復有無量慳貪有情，積集資財，於其自身尚不受用，何況能與父母、妻子、奴婢作使，及來乞者？彼諸有情，從此命終生餓鬼界，或傍生趣。由昔人間曾得暫聞藥師琉璃光如來名故，今在惡趣，暫得憶念彼如來名，即於念時從彼處沒，還生人中；得宿命念，畏惡趣苦，不樂欲樂，好行惠施，讚歎施者，一切所有悉無貪惜，漸次尚能以頭目手足血肉身分施來求者，況餘財物？」
At this time, the World Venerable also told
the boy Manjushri: " Manjushri! There are all kinds of sentient beings who
don't understand the good and the evil, but they have the thought of greed and
stinginess. They don't know about giving and the giving-consequence. They are
stupid, obsessed and without wisdom, lack of faith-root, gathered many
treasures, and worked diligently to guard these treasures. When they saw a
beggar come to them, they felt unhappy. If they did not receive any
compensation when they gave, it was like deeply cutting the flesh of their
bodies, and thus to feel painful and reluctant. There are also countless meant
and greedy sentient beings to accumulate asset which can not be enjoyed by
self, not to mention to give it to parents, wives, and slaves to enjoy it, and
those who come to beg. These kinds of various sentient beings, after the end of
their lives, are re-born in the hungry-ghost world, or in the animal path.
Thanks to, in their previous humans world, they had temporarily heard the name
of the Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight, they were now in the evil-going, and
were temporarily able to recall the name of this Tathagata, therefore, in the
moment what they had a thought of this, they disappeared from another place and
was born again among the humans world; since that, they got a thought of fate,
and were afraid of suffering in the evil-going, disliked the joy of desire,
liked to give favors, gave praise to those who gave. For everything, they
didn’t have the thought of greed and unwilling, and could gradually use head,
eyes, hands, feet, blood, flesh, body to give to those who demand, not to
mention the remaining property. "
這時候，世尊又告訴曼殊室利童子說：「曼殊室利！有各種眾生，不明白善與惡，心中只有貪婪及吝嗇，不知道布施及布施的果報，頭腦愚笨癡迷又沒有智慧，缺少對佛法僧三寶的信念及對此堅信修行的根本，只知道積聚收集許多財物和寶物，並勤勞地守著並維護這些財物和寶物(就像守財奴一樣)。當他們看見乞丐走來，這些貪婪吝嗇的人的內心就感到不高興。這些貪婪吝嗇的人如果沒有獲得任何回報，而去做布施的時候，他們就感到好像在割自己身體上的肌肉一樣，深深地為此感到心痛又捨不得。又有無量小氣貪婪的有情眾生，積聚收集資產及財物，這些東西對他們自己來說，都還享受利用不到，更別說能夠捨給父母、妻子、奴婢以及來乞討的人使用(因為自己吝嗇小氣，自己捨不得用的財物，也不願意施捨給別人)？這些所提及的各種有情眾生，從此生命結束之後，就會出生在餓鬼道或畜生道。由於他們在過去的人世間，曾經得以暫時聽到《藥師琉璃光如來》名號的緣故，當下在餓鬼道或畜生道(受苦)，暫時得以回憶並一念想起該《藥師琉璃光如來》的名號。因此，就在那一念想起的當下，立刻從另一個地方(餓鬼道或畜生道)消失，即刻重新出生在人道中；他們因此得到宿命念(能夠有機緣知道自己過去生中所造的善惡業及所發的悲願)，並且害怕惡趣(餓鬼道或畜生道)的生死苦，不喜歡自我放縱欲望的快樂，只喜愛去做有恩有惠的布施，並且讚美驚歎布施的人。自己所擁有的一切財物寶物，對這些都沒有再有貪婪及不捨的心，並且漸漸地還能以自己的頭，眼睛，手，腳，血，肉，以及身體，布施給那些來求取的人(即今日的無償的器官捐贈)，更別說他那剩下的財產及物品？(即他們生命即將終了所剩下的財產及物品，也會一併通通捐贈給眾生或公益單位)」
「復次、曼殊室利！若諸有情，雖於如來受諸學處，而破尸羅；有雖不破尸羅而破軌則；有於尸羅、軌則，雖則不壞，然毀正見；有雖不毀正見而棄多聞，於佛所說契經深義不能解了；有雖多聞而增上慢，由增上慢覆蔽心故，自是非他，嫌謗正法，為魔伴黨。如是愚人，自行邪見，復令無量俱胝有情，墮大險坑。此諸有情，應於地獄、傍生、鬼趣流轉無窮。若得聞此藥師琉璃光如來名號，便捨惡行，修諸善法，不墮惡趣；設有不能捨諸惡行、修行善法，墮惡趣者，以彼如來本願威力令其現前，暫聞名號，從彼命終還生人趣，得正見精進，善調意樂，便能捨家趣於非家，如來法中，受持學處無有毀犯，正見多聞，解甚深義，離增上慢，不謗正法，不為魔伴，漸次修行諸菩薩行，速得圓滿」。
"Moreover, Manjushri! If all sentient
beings are taught and learned in the place where they should learn Tathagata,
but they break the precepts; there are some of them who will not break the
precepts, but they will break the rules; there are precepts and rules which
will not be destroyed, but the righteous views are destroyed; although some of
them does not destroy the righteous views, but they give up broad knowledge,
and it is not clear to understand the deep meaning of the Buddhist scriptures;
there are some of them who obtain the broad knowledge, but increase the
arrogance, because the increased arrogance covers the heart, so they are in the
opinion what they have done is right, but to criticize others unfairly. They
despise and slander the righteous Buddha-laws, to be a devil's partner and its
party member. Such a stupid person, who behaves evil opinions, and makes
countless large sentient beings fall into super dangerous pits. These various
sentient beings should be in hell, animals, and ghosts being endlessly
circulating. If they can hear the name of this Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight,
they will be able to abandon the evil deeds, practice all kinds of good laws,
and do not fall into the evil-going; suppose that there were some people who
could not give up all evil deeds to practice the virtuous laws, but deprave
themselves in the evil-going, this Tathagata would use the power of his
original vows, to make them appear in front of him, make them temporarily hear
the name. Those people would be born again in the humans after the end of life,
and be able to gain positive insights and diligence, good at adjusting his own
intentions, and able to give away his family, but interested in non-family. In
the law of Tathagata, where they had been taught and practiced as they had
learned, there were no destructors, but positive insights and broad knowledge.
Meanwhile, they understood the very deep meaning, had left the increased
arrogance, and no longer to slander the righteous laws, no longer to be a
companion of the devil, and gradually to be able to practice all kinds of
Bodhisattva’s deeds, and to achieve the perfect completeness as soon as
possible."
「再說，曼殊室利！如果各種有情眾生，雖然在應當修學如來的處所受教學習，卻破壞戒律；有眾生雖然不破壞戒律，但是卻破壞規則；有眾生雖然沒有去破壞戒律和規則，卻毀壞正確的知見；有眾生雖然不毀壞正確的知見，卻放棄多聞(多去了解各種知識、學問和智慧)，因此對於佛所說的佛經深義不能了然理解；有眾生雖然具有多聞(多去了解各種知識、學問和智慧)的優點，卻在個人現有的傲慢上再增加傲慢(增上慢)；由於在個人現有的傲慢上再增加傲慢(增上慢)覆蓋遮蔽自己原本純淨的心的緣故，因此自己以為自己的見解都是對的，並因此以自己不正確的見解去批評、去評斷他人；他們自己嫌棄並毀謗正確的佛法，自己甘願作為任何煩惱魔及色魔及貪瞋癡魔的伴侶和黨徒。像這樣愚蠢的人，自己有著邪惡的見解，又使無量廣大有情眾生墮落在邪惡見解的超大危險的坑裡。這些各種有情眾生，它們原本應該在地獄、畜生、惡鬼道中這三種惡道中輪流改變地受苦，這種苦完全沒有結束的一天。如果它們能夠聽到《藥師琉璃光如來》的名號，便能夠捨棄邪惡的行為，並能夠修行各種善法(從事善的行為)，不墮落在惡趣(地獄、畜生、餓鬼道)；假設有不能捨棄所有惡行去修行善法(從事善的行為)，卻又墮落在惡趣的眾生，藥師琉璃光如來將以祂自身如來本來誓願的威力，使這些墮落在惡趣受苦的眾生，立即出現在藥師琉璃光如來的眼前；藥師琉璃光如來將使這些在惡趣受苦的眾生暫時能夠聽到《藥師琉璃光如來》名號，這些受苦的眾生即從它們在該惡道的生命結束後，重新出生在人道。它們得到人的身體後，他們便能夠得到正確的佛法知見並精進於修行學佛，他們擅長並熟悉於調整自己的人生意向及所喜愛的事務，因此他們便能夠捨去世俗家庭中瑣碎繁雜的貪瞋癡的生活，而有志趣在嚮往離開世俗家庭中貪嗔癡的煩惱(真正是屬於心的出家，而不僅僅是形式上的出家)。他們因此能夠在如來的佛法中，接受如來的教導並修持如來所學的一切，他們對這一切沒有任何的毀壞或犯戒，他們能夠學習正見並增廣多聞(多去了解各種知識、學問和智慧)，並且能夠了解很深的佛教涵義，能夠離開在個人現有的傲慢上再增加傲慢的缺點(增上慢)，並且不再毀謗正法，不再作為魔的伴侶(即擺脫自身的煩惱魔及色魔)，漸漸能夠按照次第地修行各種菩薩行，盡快獲得圓滿的證悟，因而成就圓滿的佛果。」
「復次、曼殊室利！若諸有情慳貪、嫉妒，自讚毀他，當墮三惡趣中，無量千歲受諸劇苦！受劇苦已，從彼命終，來生人間，作牛、馬、駝、驢，恆被鞭撻，饑渴逼惱，又常負重隨路而行。或得為人，生居下賤，作人奴婢，受他驅役，恆不自在。若昔人中曾聞世尊藥師琉璃光如來名號，由此善因，今復憶念，至心歸依。以佛神力，眾苦解脫，諸根聰利，智慧多聞，恆求勝法，常遇善友，永斷魔罥，破無明殼，竭煩惱河，解脫一切生老病死憂愁苦惱」。
"Moreover, Manjushri! If all sentient
beings are stingy, greedy, and jealous, they praise themselves, but slander
others, they should fall into the three evils, and have suffered all kinds of
severe suffering for thousands of years. At the end, come to rebirth in the
world of humans, to become cattle, horses, camels and donkeys, whipped for a
long time. Their heart is forced and worried by hungry and thirsty. And they
often carry heavy loads, follow the road and walk. Or they are fortunately to
become a human being again, born in a humble position, with a low status, to
become other people's servant and maidservant, forced to be forced, enslaved
and ordered by others, they can't be free for long. If in the previous human
life they had heard the name of this Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight, due to
such good causes, they can now have one thought of this name and return to and
rely on it with their most sincere heart, by the power of the Buddha ’s
prestige, many sufferings were relieved, their all roots became clever and
flexible, with wisdom and broad knowledge; they everlastingly ask for the
special-victory Buddha-law, often encountered the virtuous friends, eternally cut
off the devil ’s net, break and destroy the ignorant shell, exhaust the river
of trouble, and free themselves from all the worry of and sorrow of life,
aging, disease and death."
「再說，曼殊室利！如果各種有情眾生吝嗇貪婪、嫉妒，自己讚賞自己，卻毀謗他人，應當墮落在三惡趣中，無量千年遭受各種劇烈的苦難！遭受劇烈的苦難後，從該生命結束後，來重新出生在人間，作牛、馬、駝、驢，長久被主人用繩鞭鞭打，受到饑餓口渴的逼迫並煩惱於心，又常揹負重物，跟隨道路而行走。或者他們幸運能夠成為人，天生下來就居處於卑賤的地位，地位低下，作為別人的奴樸和婢女，受到他人的強行逼迫，奴役及使喚，長久不能自由自在。如果他們在過去人世中曾經聽到世尊《藥師琉璃光如來》的名號，由於這樣的善因，現在能夠有一念想起這個名號，以最誠摯的心歸依，以這尊佛的威神的力量，這些眾生眾多的苦難都得以解脫，所有的根都變得聰明靈活，具有智慧及多聞，他們從此恆久求取殊勝的佛法，經常遇到善友，永遠斷除魔鬼的網，打破無明的殼，竭盡煩惱的河，解脫一切生老病死的憂愁苦惱。」
「復次、曼殊利室！若諸有情好喜乖離，更相鬥訟，惱亂自他，以身語意，造作增長種種惡業，展轉常為不饒益事，互相謀害。告召山林樹塚等神；殺諸眾生，取其血肉祭祀藥叉、羅剎婆等；書怨人名，作其形像，以惡咒術而咒詛之；厭魅蠱道，咒起屍鬼，令斷彼命，及壞其身。是諸有情，若得聞此藥師琉璃光如來名號，彼諸惡事悉不能害，一切展轉皆起慈心，利益安樂，無損惱意及嫌恨心，各各歡悅，於自所受生於喜足，不相侵凌互為饒益」。
"Moreover, Manjushri! If all the
sentient beings are doing things with the exaggerated attitude, not
only like to contradict the goodwill and the good deeds, and deviate from
others, but also more prefer to fight and argue with each other, and to angry
and disturb themselves and others’ peaceful hearts, and to use their own
bodies, words and thoughts so as to create and grow various evil actions. They
are repeatedly impermanent, often do things that neither give others
generously, nor give people rich interests, but plan to plot against each
other. They call on the gods of mountains, trees, tombs, etc ., kill all kinds
of beings, take their blood and flesh so as to sacrifice to the Medicine Fork, Rakshapo,
etc .; they write the names of the people they hate, make those peoples image,
curse them with evil spells, use superstitious methods to pray to ghosts or
gods or use Gu tricks to bewitch or hurt others, or use spells to make ghosts
of dead body sit or lie down, or order them to cut off the lives of others and
destroy others bodies. All these sentient beings, if they can hear the name of
this Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight, those evil things can't hurt them. All
people and things can repeatedly generate compassion, be able to benefit,
comfort and rejoice others. They have neither intention of damaging or
irritating others, nor the mind of disgust and resentment. They can feel joy
and joy each other, have joy and satisfaction for everything they have used,
and no longer infringe and bully each other, but can give each other generously
and give each other a lot of interests."
「此外，曼殊室利！如果所有有情眾生做事浮誇，喜歡牴觸及背離人家的善意及善行，更喜歡彼此互相鬥爭及諍訟，惱怒並擾亂自己及他人的平和的心，用自己的身體、言語及意念，造作並增長各種惡業，反覆無常，經常做一些不能布施他人、給人豐富利益的事，又互相謀劃陷害彼此。他們稟告召喚山林、樹木、墳墓等等眾神，殺害各種眾生，取它們的血和肉，祭祀藥叉、羅剎婆等；他們又寫上所怨恨之人的名字，作他們的形像，用邪惡的咒術而詛咒他們；用迷信的方法祈禱鬼神或用蠱術以迷惑別人或傷害他人，或用咒語讓屍鬼由躺而坐，或由坐而站，或命令這些屍鬼截斷他人的命，並破壞他們的身體。這些所有有情眾生，如果能夠聽聞這尊《藥師琉璃光如來》的名號，那些各種邪惡的事都不能傷害他們，一切的人及事，反覆都能夠生起慈悲心，能夠利益及安樂他人，他們沒有損害或惱怒他人的意，及嫌棄和怨恨的心，他們彼此各自皆能感到歡樂和喜悅，對於自己所受用的一切都能生起歡喜滿足之心，不再互相侵害及霸凌，而能夠互相布施，給對方豐富利益的事。」
「復次、曼殊室利！若有四眾：苾芻、苾芻尼、鄔波索迦、鄔波斯迦，及餘淨信善男子、善女人等，有能受持八分齋戒，或經一年、或復三月受持學處，以此善根，願生西方極樂世界無量壽佛所聽聞正法而未定者，若聞世尊藥師琉璃光如來名號，臨命終時，有八大菩薩，其名曰：文殊師利菩薩，觀世音菩薩，得大勢菩薩，無盡意菩薩，寶檀華菩薩，藥王菩薩，藥上菩薩，彌勒菩薩。是八大菩薩乘空而來，示其道路，即於彼界種種雜色眾寶華中，自然化生」。
"Moreover, Manjushri! If there are
four kinds of sentient beings: Buddhist monks, Buddhist nuns, Buddhist-at-home
of male, Buddhist-at-home of female, and the rest of the pure-faith men, women,
etc., and they are able to comprehend eight pure precepts, and never forget; or
after a year, or after three months, they comprehend in heart in the place
where they learned, and never forget; with such virtuous roots, they wish to
rebirth in the place where Buddha Incalculable-longevity in the world of
Western Utmost Bliss is located, so as to hear the righteous Buddha Law,
however, have not yet made up their minds; if they hear the name of this World
Venerable-the Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight, and when they are facing the end
of their life, there will be eight great Bodhisattvas which names are:
Bodhisattva Manjushri, Bodhisattva Word-Sound-Perceiving ( to perceive the
world sound), Bodhisattva Great-Power Gaining (to gain the great power),
Bodhisattva Endless-Meaning, Bodhisattva Precious-Epiphyllum, Bodhisattva
Medicine-King, Bodhisattva Medicine-Supreme, Bodhisattva Maitreya. These eight
great Bodhisattvas came out of the air to show these beings the way to the
place where this Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight is located. In the world of
this Tathagata, among the various variegated and precious flowers, these beings
naturally change to be born without dependence and their new form is thus
generated."
「此外、曼殊室利！如果有四種眾生：比丘、比丘尼、男居士、女居士，以及剩餘的淨信的善男子、善女人等，有能夠對八種清淨的戒律領會感受在心，持久不忘，或經過一年、或經過三個月，在所學的地方領受在心，持久不忘，以這樣的善根，發願往生西方極樂世界無量壽佛所在的地方，聽聞正法而尚未下定決心者，如果他們聽聞世尊《藥師琉璃光如來》名號，在他們面臨生命終結的時候，就會有八位大菩薩，他們的名字叫做：文殊師利菩薩，觀世音菩薩，得大勢菩薩，無盡意菩薩，寶檀華菩薩，藥王菩薩，藥上菩薩，彌勒菩薩。這些八位大菩薩，從空中而來，為他們顯示前往藥師琉璃光如來所在地方的道路(諸佛淨土為一淨土，既是東方藥師琉璃光如來淨土，也是西方極樂世界無量壽佛淨土，也是阿彌陀佛淨土，無二無別)，在該世界中，各種雜色眾多的珍寶的花中，這些眾生無所依託自然地變化出生而產生新的形體。」
「或有因此，生於天上，雖生天上，而本善根，亦未窮盡，不復更生諸餘惡趣。天上壽盡，還生人間，或為輪王，統攝四洲，威德自在，安立無量百千有情於十善道；或生剎帝利、婆羅門、居士大家，多饒財寶，倉庫盈溢，形相端嚴，眷屬具足，聰明智慧，勇健威猛，如大力士。若是女人，得聞世尊藥師琉璃光如來名號，至心受持，於後不復更受女身」。
"There may be sentient beings born in
heaven for this reason. Although they were born in heaven, and their original
good roots are not exhausted, they are no longer born in various remaining
evil-goings. When their life in heaven ends, they are born again in the world
of humans, or become the Turning Wheel King, take control of the four
continents, freedom in penalty and kindness, and settle countless thousands of
sentient beings down in ten-virtuous paths; or they were born in the big family
of Kshatriya, Brahman, and of Buddhist-at-home, and they are rich in wealth and
treasures, and the warehouse is abundant. Their appearance is dignified and
solemn. They have enough family members. They not only are smart and with
wisdom, but also are brave, strong and powerful, just like a Hercules. If these
sentient beings are a woman, and who can hear the name of this Tathagata
Pharmacist Glazelight, and can comprehend it with her most sincere heart and
will never forget it, after that, she will no longer get a female body. "
「或有眾生因此原因，而出生於天上，雖然出生於天上，而原來就有的善根，也沒有結束，不再出生於各種剩餘的惡道。當他們在天上的壽命結束，重新出生在人間，或者成為轉輪聖王，統攝四洲，刑罰與恩賞自由自在(威嚴與德行自在；自由自在地恩威並施)，安置並建立無量百千有情眾生於十善道；或者出生於剎帝利、婆羅門、居士大家，多具有豐富的財物寶物，倉庫充足富裕，他們的形相端正莊嚴，眷屬具有並且足夠，具有聰明及智慧，勇敢強健又威猛，就像大力士。如果是女人，能夠聽到世尊《藥師琉璃光如來》的名號，以最誠摯的心領會並持久不忘，她在這之後就不再得到女身。」
「復次、曼殊室利！彼藥師琉璃光如來得菩提時，由本願力，觀諸有情，遇眾病苦瘦攣、乾消、黃熱等病；或被厭魅、蠱毒所中；或復短命，或時橫死；欲令是等病苦消除所求願滿」。
"Moreover, Manjushri! When this
Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight, attained the Bodhi, due to the power of his
original vows, he observed all kinds of sentient beings who suffered many
diseases and pains, thinness and spasm, dry in mouth, hunger and thirst, yellow
fever and other diseases; or these beings have been superstitiously prayed to
the ghosts and gods and thus to be confused or hurt, or were stabbed and harmed
by the poisonous insect poison; or they were short living, or unusually dying;
this Tathagata desired to eliminate these various sufferings, and to fulfill
the wishes of all beings. "
「此外，曼殊室利！這位藥師琉璃光如來得到菩提智慧的時候，由於祂本來的誓願的力量，去觀察各種有情眾生，發現這些眾生遇到眾多疾病及痛苦，他們瘦弱、手腳彎曲、口乾飢渴、黃熱等等的疾病；或者他們用迷信的方法去祈禱鬼神，因此被迷惑或傷害、或者他們被蠱毒(利用毒蟲的伎倆)所中傷；或者他們短命，或者他們不正常死亡；這位藥師琉璃光如來想使這些種種病苦消除，讓眾生所祈求的願望圓滿實現。」
「時彼世尊，入三摩地，名曰除滅一切眾生苦惱。既入定已，於肉髻中出大光明，光中演說，大陀羅尼曰：『那謨薄伽筏帝，裨殺社窶嚕，薜琉璃缽剌婆喝囉闍也，怛陀揭多耶，阿羅訶帝，三藐三勃陀耶。怛姪阤：唵，鞞殺逝，鞞殺逝，鞞殺社，三沒揭帝娑訶』」。爾時、光中說此咒已，大地震動，放大光明，一切眾生病苦皆除，受安隱樂。
At this time, this World Venerable
entered into the state of meditation, which name was called To Eliminate All
Sufferings of All Beings. After the state of meditation was completed, a great
light appeared in the bulge above the Buddha's head, and it spoke the great
incantation (by transliteration) which said:" NA MO BAO JIA FA DI, BI SHA
SHE JU LU, BI LIU LI BO LA PO HE LUO SHE YE, DA TUO JIE DUO YE, A LUO HE DI,
SAN MIAO SAN BO TUO YE. DA ZHI TUO: OM, BING SHA SHI, BING SHA SHI, BING SHA
SHE, SAN MEI JIE DI SUO HE.“ At this time, after the mantra was spoken in the
light, the earth shook and amplified the light, and all the sickness and
suffering of all sentient beings were eliminated, and they all enjoyed the
happiness of peace and safe.
「這時候，這位世尊《藥師琉璃光如來》，進入禪定的狀態，這名相叫做【除滅一切眾生的苦惱】。當這位世尊《藥師琉璃光如來》完成禪定的狀態之後，在祂的佛頭頂上隆起的肉塊中出現大光明，在這光明裡自然演出說出大陀羅尼：『那謨薄伽筏帝，裨殺社窶嚕，薜琉璃缽剌婆喝囉闍也，怛陀揭多耶，阿羅訶帝，三藐三勃陀耶。怛姪阤：唵，鞞殺逝，鞞殺逝，鞞殺社，三沒揭帝娑訶』。」在這時候，在這光明裡說完這些咒語之後，大地震動了，並且放出大光明亮，一切眾生的疾病與痛苦都因此善緣而消除，並且都感受到安穩的快樂。」
「曼殊室利！若見男子、女人有病苦者，應當一心，為彼病人，常清淨澡漱，或食、或藥、或無蟲水、咒一百八遍，與彼服食，所有病苦悉皆消滅。若有所求，志心念誦，皆得如是無病延年；命終之後，生彼世界，得不退轉，乃至菩提。是故曼殊室利！若有男子、女人，於彼藥師琉璃光如來，至心殷重，恭敬供養者，常持此咒，勿令廢忘」。
"Manjushri! If you see men or women
suffering from diseases, you should be single mind for those patients, often
bathe and rinse your mouth cleanly, use their food, medicine, or
without-bacteria water to recite this mantra for 108 times on it, and then give
it to those patients to eat or drink, all the pain of their disease can be
eliminated. If anyone has any prayers and sincere recitation about this
incantation, they can be like this without any disease and can keep their life
continuously; after in the end of their life, they go to rebirth in that world
and achieve the non-retreat and non-turn, even to attain Bodhi. For this
reason, Manjushri! If there are men and women who are with sincerity and
sincere deep heart, and with respect and courtesy to offer anything to the
Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight, you should protect and support them to often
recite this incantation, and don't make them discard or forget such
merit."
「曼殊室利！如果您看見男人、女人有疾病的痛苦，您應當專注一心，為那些病人，您自己經常以清淨心洗澡漱口，或在食物、或在藥品、或在沒有細菌的水(煮開的水)、持誦此咒108次，然後給與這些病人飲食服用，他們所有的疾病的痛苦都能夠被消除。如果這些病人有人有任何祈求，只要他們能夠誠心念誦此咒，他們都能夠得到像這樣的沒有任何疾病的痛苦而能夠延續生命；在他們生命結束之後，往生到那位藥師琉璃光如來淨土的世界，在那裡得到不撤退不回轉的修行，並能進而得到菩提智慧。由於這個原因，曼殊室利！如果有男人、女人，對於那位世尊藥師琉璃光如來，用自己的誠心及懇切深厚的心，尊敬地有禮貌地供養世尊藥師琉璃光如來，您當護持他們經常持誦這個咒語，不要使他們廢棄或忘了這些功德。」
「復次、曼殊室利！若有淨信男子女人，得聞藥師琉璃光如來應正等覺所有名號，聞已誦持。晨嚼齒木，澡漱清淨，以諸香花，燒香、塗香，作眾伎樂，供養形象。於此經典，若自書，若教人書，一心受持，聽聞其義。於彼法師，應修供養：一切所有資身之具，悉皆施與，勿令乏少。如是便蒙諸佛護念，所求願滿，乃至菩提」。
"Moreover, Manjushri! If there are men
or women with pure faith who can hear the all names of the Tathagata Pharmacist
Glazelight-the One who should be supported by heavens and humans or the
righteous equality enlightener, they can recite these names after completely
hearing all of these names; they chew the teeth-cleaning wood branch in the
morning, have the bathe and gargle so as to be clean, use flowers of various
aromas, incense that can be burned, and incense that can be applied to the
skin, make a variety of musical instruments and music, to support the image of
this Tathagata; for this Buddhist scripture, if they can copy it with writing and
recite, and if they can teach others to write and recite, they should be single
minded, comprehend it, keep it in mind forever, and hear the meaning of this
scripture; they should practice supporting those who speak and teach this
scripture: all the tools of nurturing oneself can be given and don’t make this
teacher shortage of anything; by this way, they can receive the
protection, support and care from all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas; any wishes
can be satisfied, and even Bodhi can be attained.”
「再說、曼殊室利！如果有清淨信仰的男人或女人，能夠聽到《藥師琉璃光如來》，應該被天上與人間所供養(的人)，真正平等覺悟(的人)的所有名號，聽到這些名好結束之後，誦持這個名號。這些清淨信仰的男人或女人早晨嚼著清潔牙齒的木枝，洗澡漱口讓全身乾淨，用各種香氣的花，可以焚燒的香，可以塗在皮膚的香，作各種樂器和音樂，供養這位如來的形象。對於這部佛經，如果他們自己能夠書寫及讀誦，如果能夠教導他人書寫及讀誦，自己專致一心，領受意會，持久不忘，聽聞這部佛經的含義；他們對那些說法及教導這部佛經的法師，應該修持供養：一切所有資養自身的器具，都能夠布施及給與，不要使這位法師有任何東西的短少；這樣他們就能夠蒙受所有佛菩薩的護持及想念，任何所祈求的願望皆能滿足，乃至得到菩提。」
爾時、曼殊室利童子白佛言：「世尊！我當誓於像法轉時，以種種方便，令諸淨信善男子、善女人等，得聞世尊藥師琉璃光如來名號，乃至睡中亦以佛名覺悟其耳。世尊！若於此經受持讀誦。或復為他演說開示；若自書、若教人書；恭敬尊重，以種種華香、塗香、末香、燒香、花鬘、瓔珞、幡蓋、伎樂，而為供養；以五色綵，作囊盛之；掃灑淨處，敷設高座，而用安處。爾時、四大天王與其眷屬，及餘無量百千天眾，皆詣其所，供養守護。世尊！若此經寶流行之處，有能受持，以彼世尊藥師琉璃光如來本願功德，及聞名號，當知是處無復橫死；亦復不為諸惡鬼神奪其精氣，設已奪者，還得如故，身心安樂」。
At this time, boy Manjushri said to the
Buddha: "World Venerable! I should have vowed in the time of propagating
Buddha-law of Buddha-image, to use various conveniences to enable all kinds of
pure faith good men and women to hear the name of this World Venerable-the
Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight. Even in their dreams, their ears are
enlightened by the name of this Buddha. World Venerable! If there are people
who can understand this Buddhist scripture, never forget and recite it; or who
are able to give speeches and instructions for others about this Buddhist
scripture; suppose that they can write this Buddhist scripture by self, suppose
that they can teach people to write it; they respectfully respect this Buddhist
scripture and the name of the Buddha, and with various floral fragrances,
skin-applicable fragrances, powdery incense, combustible joss sticks, wreaths,
necklaces, decorative items covered with utensils, music, so as to support this
Buddhist scripture and the name of the Buddha; they use five colors of silk
fabric to make a bag and put this Buddhist scripture in there; they sweep the
place clean, arrange and set up a high seat, and use it to place this Buddhist
scripture. At this time, the four great heavenly kings and their families, and
the rest of the hundreds of thousands of heavenly people, came to visit this
residence, to support and protect this Buddhist scripture and this place. World
Venerable! Suppose that this Buddhist Scripture Treasure spreads widely,
someone can understand it, and never forget it, then, with the merits of the
original vows of the World Venerable- the Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight, and
with this name what has been heard, we should know that there is no longer any
abnormal death in this place, and their spirits and souls are no longer
captured by all kinds of evil ghosts and spirits; assuming that their spirits
and souls have been captured, those can be restored to its original state, and
their physical and mental body are peaceful and happy as before."
這時候，曼殊室利童子對佛陀說：「世尊！我應當誓願在佛像的佛法轉傳的時候，用各種方便，使各種清淨信仰的善男子、善女人等，能夠聽到《世尊藥師琉璃光如來》的名號，乃至在睡夢中他們也能從內心的耳朵聽到這尊佛的名號而受到啟發和覺悟。世尊！如果對對於這部佛經能夠領會，持久不忘並且讀誦。或者能夠再為他人演說及開示；如果能夠自己書寫這部佛經、如果能夠教人書寫這部佛經；恭敬尊重這部佛經及佛的名號，用各種花香、可以塗在皮膚的香、粉末狀的香、可以燃燒的炷香、花圈、珠及玉做成的項圈、器物上覆蓋的裝飾物品、音樂，而來供養這部佛經及佛的名號；用五種顏色的絲織品，作成袋子而裝這部佛經；將地方掃灑乾淨，將這地方布置及設立高座，而用以安放這部佛經。這時候，四大天王及他們的眷屬，以及其餘無量百千天眾，都來拜訪這個住所，供養守護這部佛經及這個地方。世尊！如果這部佛經寶藏廣泛傳播的地方，有人能夠領會，持久不忘，以那位世尊《藥師琉璃光如來》本來的誓願的功德，及所聽到的名號，應當知道這個地方不再有不正常的死亡；也不再被各種邪惡的鬼神奪取他們的精神和靈氣，假設精神和靈氣已經被邪惡的鬼神奪取，那麼精神和靈氣能夠回復原狀，和原來的一樣，身體與心靈皆感到平安及快樂。」
佛告曼殊室利：「如是！如是！如汝所說。曼殊室利！若有淨信善男子、善女人等，欲供養彼世尊藥師琉璃光如來者，應先造立彼佛形像，敷清淨座而安處之。散種種花，燒種種香，以種種幢幡莊嚴其處。七日七夜，受八分齋戒，食清淨食，澡浴香潔，著清淨衣，應生無垢濁心，無怒害心，於一切有情起利益安樂，慈、悲、喜、捨平等之心，鼓樂歌讚，右遶佛像。復應念彼如來本願功德，讀誦此經，思惟其義，演說開示。隨所樂求，一切皆遂：求長壽，得長壽，求富饒，得富饒，求官位得官位，求男女得男女」。
Buddha tells Manjushri: "That's it!
That's it! That's what you said. Manjushri! Suppose those who are good men and
good women with pure faith, etc., want to support the World Venerable-the
Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight, they should first build the statue of the Buddha,
arrange the clean seat, and let the Buddha live in this place stably; spread
all kinds of flowers, burn all kinds of incense, and decorate this place with
various curtains; after seven days and seven nights, accept eight pure
precepts, eat clean food, wash the body to be clean and fragrant, and wear
clean clothes; they should have a heart free from dirt, anger, and hurt; for
all sentient beings, they can generate an egalitarian heart with benefit,
peace, mercy, compassion, joy, and abandoning; and then, drumming, music,
singing, praising, encircling the Buddha statue from the right direction; they
should also think of the merit of the original vow, read this Buddhist
scripture, think its meaning, have a speech to all beings and teach them the
meaning of this Buddhist scripture; following the wishes they are interested
in, everything can be fulfilled: if they wish for longevity, they can get
longevity; if they wish for rich, they can get rich; if they wish for official
position, they can get an official position; if they wish for men or women,
they will be able to get men or women."
佛告曼殊室利：「就是這樣！就是這樣！就是您所說的。曼殊室利！假設有清淨信仰的善男子、善女人等，想要供養那位世尊《藥師琉璃光如來》，他們應該先造立那尊佛的形像，布置清淨的座位，讓這尊佛像安定地居住在這個地方。散放各種的花，燃燒各種的香，用各種裝飾的布簾莊嚴這個地方。經過七天七夜，接受八種清靜的戒律，吃清淨的食物，將身體洗乾淨又有香氣，穿清淨的衣服，他們應該生起沒有汙垢汙濁的心，沒有憤怒及傷害的心，對於一切有情眾生能夠生起利益安樂，慈愛、悲憫、喜悅、棄捨的平等之心，擊鼓、音樂、唱歌、禮讚，從右的方向環圍佛像。又應當想到那位如來本來誓願的功德，讀誦這部佛經，思考它的意義，對眾生演說及開示這部佛經的含意。他們隨著自己所感興趣的願求，一切都能得到圓滿的願望：祈求長壽，就能得到長壽，祈求富饒，就能得到富饒，祈求官位，就能得到官位，祈求男女(婚姻對象或子女)，就能得到男女」。
「若復有人，忽得惡夢，見諸惡相；或怪鳥來集；或於住處百怪出現。此人若以眾妙資具，恭敬供養彼世尊藥師琉璃光如來者，惡夢、惡相諸不吉祥，皆悉隱沒，不能為患。或有水、火、刀、毒、懸險、惡象、師子、虎、狼、熊、羆、毒蛇、惡蠍、蜈蚣、蚰蜒、蚊、虻等佈；若能至心憶念彼佛，恭敬供養，一切怖畏皆得解脫。若他國侵擾，盜賊反亂，憶念恭敬彼如來者，亦皆解脫」。
"Suppose someone suddenly has
nightmares and sees all kinds of evil phenomenon: either strange birds come to
the assembly, or hundreds of monsters appear in the place of residence, if this
person can use all kinds of wonderful resources-life utensils to respectfully
support the World Venerable-the Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight, nightmares,
evil phenomenon, and various unlucky things would be hidden and disappeared,
and would no longer cause harm; or suppose there are water, fire, knife,
poison, danger and difficult Mountains climbing, evil elephants, lions, tigers,
wolves, bears, brown bears, poisonous snakes, evil scorpions, centipedes,
snails, slugs, mosquitoes, gadfly, and other kinds of fears, if someone can
sincerely remember and recite this Buddha, respect and support this Buddha, it
can be free from all terrors and fears; suppose there are intrusions and
disturbances from other countries, and there are rebels and chaos from the
robbers and thieves in the domestic country, if someone can respectfully
remember and recite this Tathagata, it can be free from all the dangers."
「假設有人，忽然得到邪惡的夢，看見各種邪惡的現相：或者看見有奇怪的鳥飛來集會，或者看見在居住地方有百種怪物出現。這個人如果能夠以各種微妙資生的器具，恭敬地供養世尊《藥師琉璃光如來》，惡夢、惡相及各種不吉祥的事，都能夠隱沒及消失，不能夠再造成禍害。或者假設有水、火、刀、毒、危險又難以攀爬的群山、邪惡的象、獅子、虎、狼、熊、棕熊、毒蛇、邪惡的蠍子、蜈蚣、蚰蜒、蚊、蠅等種種的恐佈；如果有人能夠誠心憶念這尊佛，恭敬供養這尊佛，一切的恐怖及害怕都能夠得到解脫。假設有來自其他國家的侵入及擾亂，國內有強盜賊子反叛及作亂，有人能夠憶念恭敬這位如來者，這一切危難也都能夠得到解脫。」
「復次、曼殊室利！若有淨信善男子、善女人等，乃至盡形不事餘天，唯當一心，歸佛法僧，受持禁戒：若五戒、十戒，菩薩四百戒、苾芻二百五十戒，苾芻尼五百戒。於所受中或有毀犯，怖墮惡趣，若能專念彼佛名號，恭敬供養者，必定不受三惡趣生。或有女人，臨當產時，受於極苦；若能志心稱名禮讚，恭敬供養彼如來者，眾苦皆除。所生之子，身分具足，形色端正，見者歡喜，利根聰明，安隱少病，無有非人，奪其精氣」。
"Moreover, Manjushri! Suppose that
there are good men and good women with pure faith, and even to the end of their
body form, they do not serve other gods, only have single mind to return to and
rely on Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, and accept and hold the prohibitions and
precepts: for example, five precepts, ten precepts, Bodhisattva has four
hundred precepts, Buddhist monk has two hundred precepts, Buddhist nun has five
hundred precepts; suppose that precepts which have been accepted and hold are
damaged or violated, and there is the fear to fall into the evil-going, if they
can concentrate on chanting the name of the Buddha, and respectfully support
this Tathagata, they will certainly not undergo the birth on the three
evil-goings; suppose that there is a woman who suffers greatly pain when facing
the childbirth, if she can sincerely chant the name of this Buddha, and praise
and respect for the merits of this Buddha, and respectfully support this
Tathagata, all kinds of sufferings can be eliminated; the born child will have
a full body, a dignified and upright appearance, and everyone who sees this
child is happy, the nimble root of this child is clever, everything is safe and
secure, there are few diseases, and there is not non-human-being to take away
this child’s spirit and soul."
「再說，曼殊室利！假設有清淨信仰的善男子、善女人等，乃至形體結束也不事奉其他的天神，只有一心，歸依佛、法、僧，領受及奉持禁條及戒律：例如，五個戒律、十個戒律，菩薩有四百個戒律、比丘有二百五十個戒律，比丘尼有五百個戒律。假設在所奉受的戒律中有任何的毀壞或犯過，害怕墮落在惡趣，如果有人能專心念誦這尊佛的名號，恭敬地供養這尊佛，他們必定不會遭受出生在三惡趣的事。假設有女人，面臨生產的時候，遭受極大的痛苦；如果她能誠心稱頌這尊佛的名號並推崇讚美這尊佛的功德，恭敬地供養這尊如來，這位女人各種的苦難都能夠被消除。她所生的小孩，身體具足圓滿，容貌端莊正直，看見這小孩的人都感到歡喜，這個小孩利落敏捷的根聰明，一切平安穩定，少有疾病，沒有非人，奪取他的精神和靈氣。」
爾時、世尊告阿難言：「如我稱揚彼世尊藥師琉璃光如來所有功德，此是諸佛甚深行處，難可解了，汝為信不？」
At this time, the World Venerable told
Ananda, "It is as what I praise all the merits of this Tathagata
Pharmacist Glazelight. And it is what the extremely profound practice of all
Buddhas. It is difficult for ordinary beings to understand and believe. Do you
believe it or not?"
這時候，世尊告訴阿難說：「這是如我稱讚褒揚這位世尊藥師琉璃光如來的所有功德，這就是所有佛的非常深奧微妙所行的地方，一般眾生很難可以了解和相信，您相信嗎？」
阿難白言：「大德世尊！我於如來所說契經不生疑惑，所以者何？一切如來身語意業無不清淨。世尊！此日月輪可令墮落，妙高山王可使傾動，諸佛所言無有異也」。
Ananda said: "Great-Virtue World
Venerable! I will not have any doubts or confusion about the Buddhist
scriptures said by the Tathagata. Why? All the body, speech, and spiritual
karma of all the Tathagata are clean and pure. World Venerable! The wheel of
sun and moon could be made to fall. The Subtle-High-Mountain-King could be
overturned and shaken. There is no difference in what all the Buddha
said."
阿難說到：「大德世尊！我對於如來所說的佛經不會產生任何懷疑及困惑，為什麼呢？一切如來的身體、語言、及意的業，沒有不清淨。世尊！這個日月的輪可以使它掉落，妙高山王可使傾覆和動搖，所有佛所說的話沒有差異」。
「世尊！有諸眾生，信根不具，聞說諸佛甚深行處，作是思惟：云何但念藥師琉璃光如來一佛名號，便獲爾所功德勝利？由此不信，還生誹謗。彼於長夜失大利樂，墮諸惡趣，流轉無窮！」
"World Venerable! There are all kinds
of sentient beings with insufficient of faith-roots; after hearing all the
profound practices of all Buddha, they thought about this by self: why can I
obtain the said merit and victory just only by chanting the name of this
Buddha-the Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight? Owing to they did not have
confidence in this, yet generate the mind to slander it, they lost great
profits and joy in the long night, and depraved self into all kinds of
evil-goings, where to experience the successive variations with no end!"
「世尊！有各種眾生，信仰的根不具足，聽聞所有佛的極深的修行之處，就做這樣想：為什麼僅僅念誦《藥師琉璃光如來》一尊佛的名號，便能夠獲得那樣所說的功德及勝利？由於對此不生信心，還生出誹謗。他們在長長的夜裡，失去大利和大樂，墮落到各種惡趣，在那裏相續變異，沒有窮盡的時候！」
佛告阿難：「是諸有情若聞世尊藥師琉璃光如來名號，至心受持，不生疑惑，墮惡趣者無有是處」。
The Buddha told Ananda: "If all these
sentient beings can hear the name of the World Venerable-the Tathagata
Pharmacist Glazelight, sincerely accept and keep it without forgetting, without
any doubt or confusion, there is no such reason to deprave self into the evil-going.
"
佛告訴阿難：「這些所有有情眾生，如果能夠聽到世尊《藥師琉璃光如來》的名號，他們能夠誠心領受及持久不忘，並且不生任何的懷疑及困惑，如果眾生這樣(誠信)還墮落在三惡道，這是絕對沒有這種道理的事(這是絕對不可能的事)。」
「阿難！此是諸佛甚深所行，難可信解；汝今能受，當知皆是如來威力。阿難！一切聲聞、獨覺，及未登地諸菩薩等，皆悉不能如實信解，唯除一生所繫菩薩。阿難！人身難得；於三寶中，信敬尊重，亦難可得聞世尊藥師琉璃光如來名號，復難於是」。
"Ananda! This is the deepest good
deeds of all Buddhas, it is difficult to believe and understand; which you can
accept it today, you should know that it is the majestic power of the
Tathagata. Ananda! All the Sounds-Hearing, Alone-Enlightened, and all the
Bodhisattvas who have not yet step on land, etc., can’t truly believe and
understand this, except for a Bodhisattva who is in an alternate Buddha
position in whole life. Ananda! The human body is difficult to obtain; in the
three treasures, those who can believe, love and respect it, it is hard to get;
to hear the name of World Venerable-the Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight, it is
harder more than the aforesaid.”
「阿難！這是所有佛的極深的善行，很難可以相信和了解；你今天能夠接受，應當知道都是如來的威嚴的力量。阿難！一切聲聞、獨覺，及未登地的所有菩薩等等，都對此不能真實地相信及了解，唯有一生候補佛位的菩薩才能相信及了解。阿難！人的身體很難得到；在三寶中，對此能夠相信、敬愛及尊重，也很難可以得到，能夠聽到世尊《藥師琉璃光如來》的名號，這又比前面所提到的更難。」
「阿難！彼藥師琉璃光如來，無量菩薩行，無量善巧方便，無量廣大願；我若一劫，若一劫餘而廣說者，劫可速盡，彼佛行願，善巧方便無有盡也！」
"Ananda! The immeasurable
Bodhisattva’s practices of, the immeasurable goodwill ingenious convenience of,
and immeasurable great vows of this Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight, suppose
that I can speak it widely in one eon, and suppose to be more than one eon, a
eon could be ended quickly, the vows practiced by this Buddha and its goodwill
ingenious convenience are never ended! "
「阿難！那位《藥師琉璃光如來》的無量的菩薩行，無量的善意巧妙的方便，以及無量的廣大的誓願，我假設一劫，假設一劫有餘而廣大來說的話，劫可以很快速地結束，那位佛所實行的誓願，以及善意巧妙的方便，則是沒有窮盡的時候！」
爾時、眾中，有一菩薩摩訶薩，名曰救脫，即從座起，偏袒一肩，右膝著地，曲躬合掌而白佛言：「大德世尊！像法轉時，有諸眾生為種種患之所困厄，長病贏瘦，不能飲食，喉脣乾燥，見諸方暗，死相現前，父母、親屬、朋友、知識啼泣圍繞；然彼自身臥在本處，見琰魔使，引其神識至於琰魔法王之前。然諸有情，有俱生神，隨其所作若罪若福，皆具書之，盡持授與琰魔法王。爾時、彼王推問其人，計算所作，隨其罪福而處斷之。時彼病人，親屬、知識，若能為彼歸依世尊藥師琉璃光如來，請諸眾僧，轉讀此經，然七層之燈，懸五色續命神旛，或有是處彼識得還，如在夢中明了自見。或經七日，或二十一日，或三十五日，或四十九日，彼識還時，如從夢覺，皆自憶知善不善業所得果報；由自證見業果報故，乃至命難，亦不造作諸惡之業。是故淨信善男子善女人等，皆應受持藥師琉璃光如來名號，隨力所能，恭敬供養」。
At this time, among the crowd, there was a
Bodhisattva Mahasa, whose name was Rescue-Disengage, and he got up from his
seat, exposed his right shoulder, kneeled down with his right knee, bent his
body to merge his palm, and told the Buddha, "Great-Virtue World
Venerable! When the Buddha-law of Buddha image is spread and circulated,
various beings were suffering from various hardships and disasters, they were
ill, thin and weak for a long time and could not eat and drink; their throats
and lips were dry; all the places they looked at were dim; the phenomenon of
death appeared in front of him; parents, relatives, friends, and the
knowledgeable person cried and mourned around him; however, he lay down in his
original place and saw the messenger of King Yama who led his spiritual
consciousness to the front of the King Yama; however, all sentient beings have
the co-existed Spirit who was born with him; everything he did, whether it was
sin or blessing, was recorded by the co-existed Spirit, and which are all taken
to the King Yama; at this time, this King Yama interrogated this person and
planned to consider everything he did, so as to judge based on his sins or
blessings; at this time, the relative or knowledgeable person of the patient,
if he can help this patient return to and rely on the World Venerable-the
Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight, please all monks and nuns to read and chant
this Buddhist scripture, kindle seven layers of lights, hang spiritual flags of
life-extending with five colors, there may be such an existence, his
consciousness can recover to be the original clear state, as if in a dream
seeing all these changes clearly, so that after 7 days, 21 days, 35 days, or 49
days, when his consciousness recovers, it is like waking up from a dream, he
can recall and knowing all the good and bad karma of his own acts and such
results what he has obtained; because he proves by himself to see the result of
his karma, and even he suffers the disaster of life and death, he did not dare
to commit all kinds of evil acts; for this reason, good men and good women with
pure faith should realize and never forget the name of the Tathagata Pharmacist
Glazelight, and according to the individual's ability, respectfully support
this Tathagata. "
這時候，群眾之中，有一位菩薩摩訶薩，名字叫做救脫，就從座位起身，裸露偏袒右肩，右膝蓋跪地，彎曲身體合併手掌而告訴佛說：「大德世尊！佛像的佛法傳播流轉的時候，有各種眾生被各種災難所困苦危難，久病瘦弱，不能吃喝，喉嚨嘴脣乾燥，眼睛所看的各種存在的地方都是昏暗，死的相貌呈現在眼前，父母、親屬、朋友、有知識的人，哭哭啼啼，圍繞在身旁；可是，他自身躺臥在原本的地方，看見琰魔的使者，引導並帶領他的神識來到琰魔法王的面前。然而，各種有情眾生，有和他們一起共生的神，隨他們所作的一切，無論是罪是福，都用文具記錄下來，全部拿取交給琰魔法王。這時候，這位法王推究審問這個人，謀劃考慮他所作的一切，依據他的罪或福而處決評斷。這時候那位病人的親屬或有知識的人，如果能夠為他歸依世尊《藥師琉璃光如來》，請所有大眾僧尼，輾轉讀誦這部佛經，點燃七層的燈，懸掛五種顏色的延續生命的神旗幟，或許有可能有這樣的存在，他的意識能夠恢復到原來清楚的樣子，就好像在夢中明白清楚地自我看見這一切的變化。這樣或者經過7天，或者經過21天，或者經過35天，或者經過49天，當他的意識恢復的時候，就好像從夢中醒來，都能夠自己回憶並知道自身的所有善及不善業力所做而得到的果報；由於他自己證明見到自己的業的果報的原故，甚至直到他遭受生命存亡的災難，也不敢再造作各種邪惡的行為。由此原因，清淨信仰的善男子善女人等，都應當領受並且不忘《藥師琉璃光如來》的名號，依據個人的能力，恭敬地供養這尊如來。」
爾時、阿難問救脫菩薩曰：「善男子！應云何恭敬供養彼世尊藥師琉璃光如來？續命旛燈復云何造」？救脫菩薩言：「大德！若有病人，欲脫病苦，當為其人，七日七夜受持八分齋戒。應以飲食及餘資具，隨力所辦，供養苾芻僧。晝夜六時，禮拜行道，供養彼世尊藥師琉璃光如來。讀誦此經四十九遍，然四十九燈；造彼如來形像七軀，一一像前各置七燈，一一燈量大如車輪，乃至四十九日光明不絕。造五色綵旛，長四十九褶手，應放雜類眾生至四十九，可得過度危厄之難，不為諸橫惡鬼所持」。
At this time, Ananda asked Bodhisattva
Rescue-Disengage and said, "Good man! How should we respectfully support
the Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight? How can the flag and lamp that extends
life be made?" The Bodhisattva Rescue-Disengage said, "Great Virtue!
If there is patient who wants to disengage from the pain of the disease, we
should be for this person, in seven days and seven nights to realize and
maintain eight kinds of pure precepts at home; we should prepare anything
according to the personal abilities with food and other daily life equipment,
so as to support the Picchu monk; six hours each day and night, we worship and
practice Dao so as to support the World Venerable-the Tathagata Pharmacist
Glazelight, and to read and chant this Buddhist scripture for 49 times, light
49 lamps, and create seven bodies' form of that Buddha-statue, each with 7
lamps in front of each statue; the light amount of a lamp is as large as a
wheel, and even after 49 days, the light is endless; the flag made of five
colors of silk fabric has a length of 49 palms, and miscellaneous beings should
be released to 49 species; all of this will make this person survive from
dangerous and distressing disasters, and make him not to be controlled by all
kinds of unexpected evil spirits."
這時候，阿難問救脫菩薩說：「善男子！應該怎麼樣恭敬地供養那位世尊《藥師琉璃光如來》？延續生命的旗和燈又怎樣製造呢？」救脫菩薩說：「大德！如果有病人，想要脫離疾病的痛苦，應當為這個人，七天七夜領受保持八種在家的清淨戒律。應當以飲食及其他的日常生活用具，依據個人的能力來辦理，供養比丘僧。白天和夜裡各經過六小時，禮拜行道，供養那位世尊《藥師琉璃光如來》。讀誦這部佛經49遍，點燃49燈，製造那位如來的形像7個身軀，每一尊佛像面前各別置放7燈，每一燈的燈量大到就如同車輪一樣，乃至經過49天光明都不會絕滅。製造五種顏色絲織品的旗，長度有49個手掌，應釋放雜類的眾生至49種，這樣可以使這個人得以度過危險困厄的災難，不被各種意外的不尋常的惡鬼所把持。」
「復次、阿難！若剎帝利、灌頂王等，災難起時，所謂：人眾疾疫難，他國侵逼難，自界叛逆難，星宿變怪難，日月薄蝕難，非時風雨難，過時不雨難。彼剎帝利灌頂王等，爾時應於一切有情起慈悲心，赦諸繫閉。依前所說供養之法，供養彼世尊藥師琉璃光如來。由此善根及彼如來本願力故，令其國界即得安隱，風雨順時，穀稼成熟，一切有情無病歡樂。於其國中，無有暴惡藥叉等神惱有情者，一切惡相皆即隱沒；而剎帝利灌頂王等壽命色力，無病自在，皆得增益」。
"Moreover, Ananda! If when Ksatriya,
King Head-Watering, etc., meet the disaster beginning which is so-called:
disasters of epidemic infectious diseases, disasters of invaded and persecuted
by other countries, disasters of betrayed and violated within their own
borders, disasters from the strange change of stars in the sky, disasters from
the eclipse of sun and moon, disasters of abnormally wind and rain, and
disasters of no rain more than the certain time, at this time, Ksatriya, King
Head-watering, etc., should generate all compassionate hearts for all sentient
beings and should pardon all kinds of captivity, and according to the method of
support mentioned earlier, support the World Venerable-the Tathagata Pharmacist
Glazelight; because of such good roots and the power of the original vows of
this Tathagata, it can make their country secure immediately, make the wind and
rain meet the needs of the time, and make the planted grain ripen, all sentient
beings are free from diseases, and are joyful and happy; in their country,
there is no cruel and evil Medicine Fork and other gods to anger sentient
beings, all evil phenomenon are hidden and disappeared; moreover, the life and
energy of the Kshatriya and King Head-Watering, etc., without disease but at
ease, get plus benefits. "
「再說，阿難！如果剎帝利(指當年印度國王以下的貴族。目前指國王或總統以下的官員)、灌頂王(指當年印度的國王。目前指一個國家的國王或總統)等，在災難開始的時候，例如遭遇如下所說的災難：人群之中流行性傳染病的災難，其他國家來侵犯及逼迫的災難，自己國界內背叛及違逆的災難，天空的列星(星象)災變怪異的災難，日月虧缺或完全不見的災難，不正常的風雨的災難，超過一定時間卻不下雨的災難。那些剎帝利、灌頂王等，這時候應當對於一切有情眾生生起慈悲心，赦免各種囚禁。依據前面所說的供養的方法，供養那位世尊《藥師琉璃光如來》。由於這樣的善根及那位如來本來的誓願的力量的緣故，能夠使他們的國家立刻得到安穩，風雨順應當時的需要，穀物栽種成熟，一切有情眾生沒有疾病並且歡喜快樂。在他們的國家當中，沒有殘暴邪惡的藥叉等神來惱怒有情眾生，一切邪惡的現象全都隱藏消失；而剎帝利、灌頂王等的壽命及精力，沒有疾病又感到自在，都得到增加的好處。」
「阿難！若帝后、妃主，儲君、王子，大臣、輔相，中宮、綵女，百官、黎庶，為病所苦，及餘厄難；亦應造立五色神旛，然燈續明，放諸生命，散雜色花，燒眾名香；病得除愈，眾難解脫」。
"Ananda! If empresses, concubines,
king of reserves, princes, ministers, auxiliary ministers, eunuch, maids,
hundreds of officials, and civilians, suffer from disease, and other distress
and disasters, five colors of god flags should also be built, light up the
lights to keep shining, release all kinds of life, scatter flowers with various
colors everywhere, and burn all kinds of famous incense; diseases can be thus
removed and healed, and various disasters can be disengaged. "
「阿難！如果帝后、妃主、儲君、王子、大臣、輔相，中宮、綵女，百種官員、平民百姓，被疾病所苦惱，及其他困厄及災難，也應當造立五種顏色的神旗，點燃燈火繼續光明，釋放各種生命，四處分撒雜色的花，燃燒各種著名的香；疾病就能夠得到去除和痊愈，各種災難也能得以解開及脫離。」
爾時，阿難問救脫菩薩言：「善男子！云何已盡之命而可增益」？救脫菩薩言：「大德！汝豈不聞如來說有九橫死耶？是故勸造續命旛燈，修諸福德，以修福故，盡其壽命不經苦患」。阿難問言：「九橫云何」？救脫菩薩言：「若諸有情，得病雖輕，然無醫藥及看病者，設復遇醫，授以非藥，實不應死而便橫死。又信世間邪魔、外道妖孽之師妄說禍福，便生恐動，心不自正，卜問覓禍，殺種種眾生，解奏神明，呼諸魍魎，請乞福祐，欲冀延年，終不能得。愚癡迷惑，信邪倒見，遂令橫死入於地獄，無有出期，是名初橫。二者、橫被王法之所誅戮。三者、畋獵嬉戲，耽淫嗜酒，放逸無度，橫為非人奪其精氣。四者、橫為火焚。五者、橫為水溺。六者、橫為種種惡獸所噉。七者、橫墮山崖。八者、橫為毒藥、厭禱、咒詛、起屍鬼等之所中害。九者、饑渴所困，不得飲食而便橫死。是為如來略說橫死，有此九種，其餘復有無量諸橫，難可具說！
At this time, Ananda asked Bodhisattva
Rescue-Disengage and said, "Good man! Why can people who are almost ending
their lives increase their longevity?" Bodhisattva Rescue-Disengage said,
"Great Virtue! Didn’t you hear that there are nine kinds of abnormal
deaths? So persuade sentient beings to make life-extending flags and lamps, to
practice various kinds of blisses and virtues. For this reason, even if they
reach the end of their life, they will not experience pain and disease."
Ananda asked, "What are the nine kinds of abnormal deaths?"
Bodhisattva Rescue-Disengage said, "If all kinds of sentient beings get
sick, the disease they get is mild, but there is no medicine or no person who
can heal him. Suppose he meets the doctor again, but the medicine given to him
cannot cure his illness; this person should not die; however, he finally died
abnormally. Someone believes masters of the world ’s demons and of those who
harm the society with outer Dao, who arbitrarily talk about disasters and
blessings, which makes people feel terrified and disturbed; this person ’s
heart is not upright, but he uses divination to ask questions, finding trouble
by self and killing all beings, informing the gods, calling all kinds of elves
and ghosts in the mountains, asking them to give blessings and protections, and
hoping to prolong life, which is impossible to be obtained after all. People
are stupid and confused, believing in the upside-down views of unjust people,
so they die abnormally and enter hell without a deadline to leave; this is
called the anomaly of the beginning. The second, people are abnormally killed
by the king ’s law. The third, people hunt birds and beasts in the wild, played
games, indulged in pornography and craved drinking, indulged in enjoyment
without restraint, and their mental strength is abnormally captured by
non-humans. The fourth, people are abnormally burned by fire. The fifth, people
are abnormally drowned by water. The sixth, people are abnormally eaten by
various evil beasts. The seventh, people abnormally fall from steep cliffs. The
eighth, people abnormally are harmed by poison, witchcraft to pray ghosts,
curses, ghouls, etc. The ninth, people trap by hunger and thirst, can't get
food and die abnormally. This is the abnormal death as outlined above, there
are these nine kinds, the rest are all kinds of immeasurable accidents, it is
difficult to be able to fully specify! "
這時候，阿難請問救脫菩薩說：「善男子！為什麼已經將結束的生命的人而能夠增加壽命呢？」救脫菩薩說：「大德！你難道沒有聽說如來說有九種非正常死亡嗎？因此勸說眾生製造延續生命的旗和燈，修行各種福德，以此修行福德的緣故，就算達到壽命結束的時候，都不會經歷痛苦和疾病。」阿難問說：「九種異常死亡是指那些呢？」救脫菩薩說：「如果各種有情眾生，得到的疾病雖然輕微，可是卻沒有醫藥及能夠給他醫治的人，假設他又遇到醫生，卻給他的藥不能治療他的疾病，這個人實在不應該死卻就異常死了。又有人相信世間的邪魔、外道危害社會的師父，他胡亂說禍說福，便讓人心生驚恐擾動，這個人的心不自己正直，卻占卜以問事，自己找禍，殺害各種眾生，說明稟告給神明，呼喚各種山中的精靈鬼怪，請求他們給予福澤及庇祐，又希望能夠延續壽命，這些事終究不可能得到。他們愚癡及迷惑，相信不正直的人所行的顛倒的見解，於是便使自己異常死亡而進入地獄，沒有出離的期限，這就名為起頭的異常。第二、異常地被國王的律法所殺害。三者、他們在野外捕殺鳥獸遊戲玩樂，入迷於色情又貪求喝酒，放縱享樂且沒有節制，他們的精神元氣異常地被非人所奪取。四者、他們異常地被火焚燒。五者、異常地被水所淹溺。六者、異常地被各種惡獸所吃。七者、異常地從陡立的崖壁墮落。八者、異常地被毒藥、以巫術祈禱鬼神、詛咒、起屍鬼等之所傷害。九者、被饑餓及口渴所困，不能得到飲食而就異常地死了。這就是如來概略說明的異常地死亡，有這九種，剩下的還有無法估量的各種異常，很難能夠完全具體說明！」
「復次、阿難！彼琰魔王主領世間名籍之記，若諸有情，不孝五逆，破辱三寶，壞君臣法，毀於性戒，琰魔法王隨罪輕重，考而罰之。是故我今勸諸有情，然燈造旛，放生修福，令度苦厄，不遭眾難」。
"Moreover, Ananda! The King Yama
mainly leads the records of the name of and household registration of the
worldly human beings. If there are sentient beings who do not respect and love
or are not filial to their parents and elders, or who have five kinds of
violations, or who destroy and insult Three Treasures, or who undermine the law
between rulers and ministers, or who destroy the self-discipline, King Yama
will punish them after considering, based on lightness or severity of
individual’s sin of what they have done. So for this reason, I persuade all
sentient beings today to light the lights, create flags, release beings, and
practice blessings and virtues, so that they can pass through pain and hardship,
and no longer suffer from various disasters. "
「又，阿難！那位琰魔王主要領導世間人的名字及戶籍的記錄，如果有情眾生，不孝順父母長輩(不敬不愛父母長輩)，有五種違逆的事，破壞或侮辱三寶，破壞君與臣之間的法制，毀壞於自性的戒律，琰魔法王就依據他們個人罪業的輕或重，考量後而對他們刑罰。因此緣故，我今天勸說所有有情眾生，點然燈火，製造旗旛，釋放生命，修行福德，使他們能夠度過痛苦及艱難，不再遭受各種災難」。
爾時、眾中有十二藥叉大將，俱在會坐，所謂：宮毘羅大將，伐折羅大將，迷企羅大將，安底羅大將，頞你羅大將，珊底羅大將，因達羅大將，波夷羅大將，摩虎羅大將，真達羅大將，招杜羅大將，毘羯魔大將：此十二藥叉大將，一一各有七千藥叉，以為眷屬。
At this time, there were twelve generals of
Medicine Forks among the masses, who were sitting together in this gathering,
the so-called: General Gongpiro, General Fazhero, General Meikiro, General
Antiro, General Eniro, General Sandiro, General Indaro, General Boyiro, General
Mohuro, General Gendarro, General Zhaoduro, General Pijiemo: these 12 generals,
each of them has 7,000 Medicine Forks as his family members.
這時候，群眾之中有十二位藥叉大將軍，一起在坐在這聚會中，所說的：宮毘羅大將，伐折羅大將，迷企羅大將，安底羅大將，頞你羅大將，珊底羅大將，因達羅大將，波夷羅大將，摩虎羅大將，真達羅大將，招杜羅大將，毘羯魔大將：這12位藥叉大將，每一位各有7000位藥叉，作為他的眷屬。
同時舉聲白佛言：「世尊！我等今者蒙佛威力，得聞世尊藥師琉璃光如來名號，不復更有惡趣之怖。我等相率，皆同一心，乃至盡形歸佛法僧，誓當荷負一切有情，為作義利，饒益安樂。隨於何等村城圍邑，空閑林中，若有流布此經，或復受持藥師琉璃光如來名號恭敬供養者，我等眷屬衛護是人，皆使解脫一切苦難，諸有願求悉令滿足。或有疾厄求度脫者，亦應讀誦此經，以五色縷，結我名字，得如願已，然後解結」。
At the same time, all of them said to the
Buddha, "World Venerable! Today, we accept the majestic power of Buddha,
so can hear the name of the World Venerable-the Tathagata Pharmacist
Glazelight, and there is no more horror about evil-going. We are one after
another, all in one heart, and even our body forms end, to return to and rely
on Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, and vow to shoulder all the sentient beings, to
do moral benefits for them, and benefit them more, and make them peace and
happy. No matter what kind of villages, cities, towns, or idle forests, if
anyone spreads this Buddhist scripture, or there are people who also accept and
never forget the name of this Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight by respectfully
supporting, we and our family members will guard and protect this person, and
will relieve him of all his sufferings, and all his wishes and prayers will
satisfy him. Those who are suffering and want to pray for relief from the
disaster should also read and chant this Buddhist scripture and use five colors
of thread to tie our names. When his wish is fulfilled, then untie this knot.
"
同時全部出聲向佛說：「世尊！我們今天承蒙佛的威嚴的力量，能夠聽到世尊《藥師琉璃光如來》名號，不再更有惡趣的恐怖。我們一個接著一個，皆同一心，乃至形體結束，歸依佛、法、僧，發誓應當承擔一切有情眾生，為他們做道德利益之事，多益安樂。無論在怎樣的村莊、城市、鄉鎮，或閒置寂靜的森林之中，如果有人流傳及散布這部佛經，或者有領受持誦《藥師琉璃光如來》的名號而恭敬地供養的人，我們及眷屬將守衛並保護這個人，都使他解脫一切苦難，各種願望及祈求皆令他感到滿足。或者有病患苦難的人想祈求度過災難而得到解脫的人，也應當讀誦這部佛經，用五種顏色的線，結上我們的名字，當他的願望實現後，然後解開這個結。」
爾時、世尊讚諸藥叉大將言：「善哉！善哉！大藥叉將！汝等念報世尊藥師琉璃光如來恩德者，常應如是利益安樂一切有情」。
At this time, the World Venerable praised
the generals of Medicine Fork and said, "Good! Good! Great generals of
Medicine Fork! You always want to repay the kindness of the World Venerable-the
Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight, and you should always be like this to benefit
all sentient beings and to make them peace and happy."
這時候，世尊稱讚各位藥叉大將說：「善哉！善哉！大藥叉將！你們心念報答世尊《藥師琉璃光如來》的恩德，經常應當如同這樣利益安樂一切有情眾生」。
爾時、阿難白佛言：「世尊！當何名此法門？我等云何奉持？」佛告阿難：此法門名說藥師琉璃光如來本願功德；亦名說十二神將饒益有情結願神咒；亦名拔除一切業障；應如是持」！
At this time, Ananda said to the Buddha:
"World Venerable! How should we name this method-door? How can we keep it
respectfully?" The Buddha said to Ananda:”This method-door is named as The
Merit of The Original Vows of The Tathagata Pharmacist Glazelight; which is
also named as The Spiritual Mantra of Twelve Spiritual Generals to More Benefit
Sentient Beings and of Combined With Vows; which is also named as The Removal
of Obstacles of All Karma; which should be kept and maintained like this!
"
這時候，阿難對佛說：「世尊！應當如何命名這個法門？我們如何恭敬地保持？」佛告訴阿難：這個法門命名為《藥師琉璃光如來本願功德》；也命名為《十二神將多益有情眾生及結合誓願神咒》；也命名為《拔除一切業的障礙》；應當像這樣信守及保持！」
時薄伽梵，說是語已，諸菩薩摩訶薩，及大聲聞，國王、大臣、婆羅門、居士、天龍、藥叉、健達縛、阿素洛、揭路荼、緊捺洛、莫呼洛伽、人、非人等一切大眾，聞佛所說，皆大歡喜，信受奉行。
At this time, Bhagavan finished speaking
these words. All Bodhisattva Mahasa, and the big Sound-Hearing, kings,
ministers, Brahmins, Buddhister-at-home, celestial dragons, Medicine Forks,
Gandharva, Asura, Garuḍa, Kimnara, Mahoraga, humans-but-non-humans, etc., all
the masses who heard what the Buddha said, felt great joy and believed,
accepted, and respectfully implemented it.
這時候，薄伽梵說完這些話語，所有菩薩摩訶薩，及大聲聞，國王、大臣、婆羅門、居士、天龍、藥叉、健達縛、阿素洛、揭路荼、緊捺洛、莫呼洛伽、人非人等一切群眾，聽到佛所說，都感受到很大的歡喜，相信、接受並恭敬地實行。
