Ch 12 - The Śūraṅgama Mantra

爾時,世尊從肉髻中涌百寶光,光中涌出千葉寶蓮,有化如來坐寶華中,頂放十道百寶光明,一一光明皆遍示現十恒河沙金剛密跡,擎山持杵遍虛空界,大眾仰觀畏愛兼抱,求佛恃怙,一心聽佛無見頂相放光如來宣說神呪。

Then from the protuberence at the crown of the World-Honored One’s head there welled forth a magnificent light, radiant as hundreds of precious gems, and a magnificent thousand-petal lotus welled forth from within that light. The Thus-Come One made appear a Buddha who was seated at the center of the magnificent flower, and from the crown of that Buddha’s head, ten beams of light shone forth as if from hundreds of precious gems. Everywhere throughout space there appeared, from within those beams of light Vajra-pāṇis (traceless vajras), ten times as many as sand grains of the River Ganges. Some of them held aloft a mountain, while others brandished a vajra-implement. All in the great assembly gazed upward, overwhelmed by awe and wonder. Hoping to receive the Buddha’s compassionate blessing, they listened intently as the Buddha who sat invisible to ordinary sight amidst a blaze of light at the crown of the Thus-Come One’s head proclaimed this spiritual mantra:

「阿難!是佛頂光聚悉怛多般怛羅祕密伽陀微妙章句,出生十方一切諸佛。十方如來因此呪心,得成無上正遍知覺;十方如來執此呪心,降伏諸魔制諸外道;十方如來乘此呪心,坐寶蓮華應微塵國;十方如來含此呪心,於微塵國轉大法輪;十方如來持此呪心,能於十方摩頂授記,自果未成亦於十方蒙佛授記;十方如來依此呪心,能於十方拔濟群苦,所謂地獄、餓鬼、畜生、盲聾瘖瘂、怨憎會苦、愛別離苦、求不得苦、五陰熾盛,大小諸橫同時解脫,賊難、兵難、王難、獄難、風水火難、飢渴貧窮,應念銷散;十方如來隨此呪心,能於十方事善知識,四威儀中供養如意,恒沙如來會中推為大法王子;十方如來行此呪心,能於十方攝受親因,令諸小乘聞祕密藏不生驚怖;十方如來誦此呪心,成無上覺、坐菩提樹、入大涅槃;十方如來傳此呪心,於滅度後付佛法事究竟住持,嚴淨戒律悉得清淨。

“Ānanda, all Buddhas throughout the ten directions are born from the esoteric lines of this Mantra of the White Canopy, with its subtle and wonderful phrases and sections spoken by the Buddha seated within the light at the crown of Thus-Come One’s head. By means of this mantra of the mind, the Thus-Come Ones of the ten directions have gained supreme, right, and universal wisdom. “Wielding this mantra of the mind, the Thus-Come Ones of the ten directions subdue all Maras and show the right way to all who are on a wrong path. Conveyed by the power of this mantra of the mind, the Thus-Come Ones of the ten directions, each seated upon a magnificent lotus-flower, appear in response to the needs of beings in numberless lands. Holding fast to this mantra of the mind, the Thus-Come Ones of the ten directions appear in numberless lands to turn the great Wheel of the Dharma. Employing this mantra of the mind, the Thus-Come Ones of the ten directions bestow predictions upon beings everywhere, each one circling his right hand over the crown of the head of each of these beings. They bestow predictions even upon beings who have not yet become enlightened. Relying on this mantra of the mind, the Thus-Come Ones of the ten directions also rescue beings everywhere from suffering in its various forms: the sufferings endured in the hells; the sufferings endured by hungry ghosts; the sufferings endured by animals; the sufferings endured by the blind, the deaf, and the mute; the sufferings caused by the presence of people one detests; the sufferings caused by the absence of people one loves; the sufferings caused by the failure to get what one wants; and the sufferings caused by the fire of the five aggregates. The Thus-Come Ones of the ten directions can rescue beings from sudden misfortunes, whether great or small, whether caused by thieves, armies, kings, imprisonment, wind, fire, flood, hunger, thirst, or penury. The Thus-Come Ones can dispel all these misfortunes by reciting this mantra. In harmony with this mantra of the mind, the Thus-Come Ones of the ten directions, in the four aspects of their comportment, have previously served good and wise teachers and have made appropriate offerings to them. They have been chosen as great Dharma-Princes among the disciples of as many Thus-Come Ones as there are sand-grains in the River Ganges. By putting into practice this mantra of the mind, the Thus-Come Ones of the ten directions gather together the beings with whom they have strong affinities and ensure that any of these beings who are adherents of the Lesser Vehicle will not be alarmed upon hearing the esoteric secret treasury. Through reciting this mantra of the mind, the Thus-Come Ones of the ten directions realize supreme enlightenment and enter the perfect nirvana as they sit beneath a bodhi tree. By transmitting this mantra of the mind, the Thus-Come Ones of the ten directions pass on the work of the Buddha’s Dharma to others so that after their nirvana the Dharma can endure and so that all can remain pure by following the precepts strictly and flawlessly.”

「若我說是佛頂光聚般怛羅呪,從旦至暮音聲相連,字句中間亦不重疊,經恒沙劫終不能盡。亦說此呪名如來頂,汝等有學未盡輪迴,發心至誠趣向阿耨多羅三藐三菩提,不持此呪而坐道場,令其身心遠諸魔事,無有是處。

“Were I to continue speaking of the virtues of this Mantra of the White Canopy, which is proclaimed from within the blaze of light at the crown of the Buddha’s head, I could continue to explain it from morning to night without interruption and without repeating myself and yet still not finish, even if I were to keep on speaking for as many eons as there are sand-grains in the River Ganges. This mantra may also be called ‘The Mantra that is Spoken from above the Crown of the Thus-Come One’s Head. All of you who still need instruction and have not yet escaped from the cycle of death and rebirth, but have vowed with great sincerity to become Arhats, must be certain to practice this mantra if you wish to remain free of the influences of Mara while you are seated in your place of awakening.”

「阿難!若諸世界隨所國土,所有眾生隨國所生樺皮、貝葉、紙素、白疊,書寫此呪貯於香囊,是人心惛未能誦憶,或帶身上或書宅中,當知是人盡其生年,一切諸毒所不能害。

“Ānanda! The people of any country in any world can write out this mantra on birch-bark, palm-leaves, papyrus, or white cotton cloth — whatever material is native to their region — and each of them can keep the written mantra in a fragrant pouch. You should know that even if these people are dull-witted and cannot recite or memorize the mantra, they can still wear the pouch or keep it in their dwellings. If they do this, then throughout their lives, no poison will ever be able to harm them.”

「阿難!我今為汝更說此呪,救護世間得大無畏,成就眾生出世間智。若我滅後,末世眾生有能自誦,若教他誦,當知如是誦持眾生,火不能燒水不能溺,大毒小毒所不能害,如是乃至龍天鬼神、精祇魔魅所有惡呪,皆不能著,心得正受。一切呪咀、魘蠱、毒藥、金毒、銀毒、草木蟲蛇萬物毒氣,入此人口成甘露味,一切惡星并諸鬼神磣毒心人,於如是人不能起惡。毘那夜迦諸惡鬼王并其眷屬,皆領深恩常加守護。

“Ānanda! I will now tell you more about how this mantra can protect beings of the world and rescue them from danger, how it can deliver them from every fear and help them attain transcendent wisdom. You should know that, after my nirvana, in the time of the Dharma’s ending, people who can recite this mantra or teach others to recite it will be in no danger of being burned, or of being drowned, or of being harmed by mild or strong poisons. Further, when they are absorbed in samādhi, no evil spell will have the power to ensnare them, whether the spell be cast by gods, dragons, ghosts, or spirits, including terrestrial or celestial spirits, demonic ghosts, and nightmare ghosts. Any substance made venomous by spell, curse, or sorcerer’s hex, any poisonous herb, any potion made toxic by the admixture of metals such as gold or silver, any noxious vapor derived from plants, trees, insects, or snakes, indeed any of the countless kinds of poisonous substances — all these will turn into ambrosia upon entering the mouths of people who recite this mantra. No evil spirit dwelling in a celestial body, nor any other ghost or spirit that harbors malice toward people, will have the power to work its evil on them. They will always be guarded and protected by Vināyaka and by other once-hostile ghost-kings who have been tamed by deep kindness.”

「阿難!當知是呪常有八萬四千那由他恒河沙俱胝金剛藏王菩薩種族,一一皆有諸金剛眾而為眷屬,設有眾生於散亂心非三摩地心憶口持,是金剛王常隨從彼諸善男子,何況決定菩提心者。此諸金剛菩薩藏王,精心陰速發彼神識,是人應時心能記憶八萬四千恒河沙劫,周遍了知得無疑惑,從第一劫乃至後身,生生不生藥叉、羅剎及富單那、迦吒富單那、鳩槃茶、毘舍遮等并諸餓鬼,有形無形、有想無想,如是惡處;是善男子若讀、若誦、若書、若寫、若帶、若藏,諸色供養,劫劫不生貧窮下賤不可樂處;此諸眾生縱其自身不作福業,十方如來所有功德悉與此人,由是得於恒河沙阿僧祇不可說不可說劫,常與諸佛同生一處,無量功德如惡叉聚,同處熏修永無分散。是故能令破戒之人戒根清淨;未得戒者令其得戒;未精進者令得精進;無智慧者令得智慧;不清淨者速得清淨;不持齋戒自成齋戒。

“Ānanda, this mantra is always attended, day and night, by Bodhisatvas in the lineage of the Bodhisattva-King Vajra-Treasury. Their numbers are eighty-four thousand ten billion trillion times the number of sandgrains in the River Ganges. Each of them is accompanied by a vast retinue of vajra-brandishing followers. These Bodhisattvas in the lineage of the Bodhisattva-King Vajra-Treasury will always be present to protect beings who recite this mantra and who are resolved to become enlightened. Indeed they will even protect beings whose minds are scattered and disorderly and lack samādhi, but who can nevertheless recite the mantra from memory. In ways that are hidden, all these Bodhisattvas in the lineage of the Bodhisattva-King Vajra-Treasury will focus their minds upon hastening these beings toward developing spiritual awareness. These beings will then suddenly recall everything that happened to them during eighty-four thousand times as many eons as there are sand-grains in the River Ganges. They will understand these past events thoroughly and with complete certainty. From that time onward until their last rebirth they will never be born in inauspicious places where there are yakṣas, rākṣasas, pūtanas, kaṭapūtanas, kumbhāndas, piśācas, pretas, and other ghosts, some of whom are visible and some of whom are not, and some of whom are intelligent and some of whom are not. Good people who, in eon after eon, read this mantra, recite it from memory, write it out, wear it on their bodies, or keep it in a safe place, making various offerings to it, will not be reborn into poverty or into lowly circumstances or in an unpleasant place. If they themselves have not earned any karmic rewards, the Thus-Come Ones of the ten directions will transfer their own merit to them. Therefore, for an inexpressibly great number of uncountable eons as many as the sand-grains in the River Ganges, they will be born in the same generation in which a Buddha has been born. Their merit will be immeasurably great, and they will be as close to the Buddhas as the seeds of the akṣa are to each other. They will become permeated with the fragrance of spiritual practice. They will never be separated from the Buddhas. “Further, the mantra can enable people who have broken their precepts to regain their purity. It can enable people who have not received precepts to become precepted. It can enable people who have not been vigorous to become vigorous. It can enable people who are lacking in wisdom to become wise. It can enable people who are impure to quickly become pure. It can enable people who do not follow the precepts concerning a pure diet to succeed in following those precepts.”

「阿難!是善男子持此呪時,設犯禁戒於未受時,持呪之後眾破戒罪,無問輕重一時銷滅;縱經飲酒食噉五辛種種不淨,一切諸佛、菩薩、金剛、天仙、鬼神不將為過,設著不淨破弊衣服,一行一住悉同清淨;縱不作壇不入道場,亦不行道,誦持此呪還同入壇行道功德;若造五逆無間重罪,及諸比丘、比丘尼四棄八棄,誦此呪已,如是重業猶如猛風吹散沙聚,悉皆滅除更無毫髮。

“Ānanda! Suppose good people who recite this mantra violated precepts before the mantra has been given to them. Then, when they begin to recite the mantra, that karma from their precept-breaking offenses, whether grave or slight, will be immediately erased. These people may have taken intoxicants, or they may have eaten plants of the onion family or other impure foods, but the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, vajra-brandishing warriors, gods, immortals, ghosts, and spirits will not consider that a transgression. These people may wear old and tattered clothes or clothes that have not been washed, but they will still be pure, whatever they do and wherever they are. Even if they do not set up a place for awakening, or do not enter a place for awakening, or do not follow the practice regimen, still, if they recite this mantra, their merit will be the same as if they had entered the place for awakening and had followed the practice regimen. They may even have committed the five unnatural crimes, which are deserving of the Unrelenting Hell; or they may be monks who have committed the four major offenses deserving of expulsion or nuns who have committed the eight major offenses deserving of expulsion; yet their grave karma will be wiped away without a trace remaining, like a sand dune that has been scattered in a gale.”

「阿難!若有眾生從無量無數劫來,所有一切輕重罪障,從前世來未及懺悔,若能讀誦、書寫此呪身上帶持,若安住處莊宅園館,如是積業猶湯銷雪,不久皆得悟無生忍。

“Ānanda! There may be beings who, either in their present life or in their previous lives, have never repented of the serious and minor offenses they have committed during countless, innumerable eons in the past. But if they can read, recite from memory, or write out the mantra, or wear it on their person, or keep it where they are dwelling, either in their homes or where they are staying temporarily, then their accumulated karma will melt away as snow is melted by boiling liquid. Before long they will gain patience with the state of mind in which no mental objects arise.”

「復次,阿難!若有女人未生男女欲求生者,若能至心憶念斯呪,或能身上帶此悉怛多鉢怛羅者,便生福德智慧男女;求長命者速得長命;欲求果報速圓滿者,速得圓滿;身命色力亦復如是。命終之後隨願往生十方國土,必定不生邊地下賤,何況雜形。

“Moreover, Ānanda! If women who do not have children, and who wish to conceive, can recite the mantra sincerely and from memory, or if they wear this Mantra of the White Canopy, they will bear sons and daughters who are blessed with virtue and wisdom. If people who recite the mantra from memory wish for a long life, they will live a long life. What they wish to accomplish they will quickly accomplish. In the same way, they will also have health, good fortune, beauty, and strength. At the end of their lives, they will be reborn into whatever country in the ten directions they wish. They will certainly not be reborn among uncivilized people or at a lower level of society. By no means will they be born into any form that is less than human.”

「阿難!若諸國土州縣聚落饑荒疫癘,或復刀兵賊難鬪諍,兼餘一切厄難之地,寫此神呪安城四門,并諸支提或脫闍上,令其國土所有眾生奉迎斯呪,禮拜恭敬一心供養,令其人民各各身佩,或各各安所居宅地,一切災厄悉皆銷滅。

“Ānanda! Suppose that in a village, a district, a province, or in an entire country, there is famine or plague, or perhaps in that place there is war, or the marauding of bandits, or the strife of rebellion, or other calamities. Then the spiritual mantra should be written out and placed on the four city gates, or in caityas or on banners. The citizens of the country should be instructed to come to welcome the mantra with honor, to venerate it respectfully, and to sincerely make offerings to it. The citizens should also be instructed to wear the mantra on their bodies and place it in their homes. Then all the disasters will disappear.”

「阿難!在在處處國土眾生隨有此呪,天龍歡喜風雨順時,五穀豐殷兆庶安樂,亦復能鎮一切惡星,隨方變怪災障不起,人無橫夭,杻械枷鎖不著其身,晝夜安眠常無惡夢。

“Ānanda! In any country and in any place where this mantra exists among the people, the celestial nāgas are pleased, the weather is clement, the harvests are abundant, and all the people are happy and at peace. Further, the mantra can prevent disasters indicated by the positions of inauspicious celestial bodies. People will not suffer untimely deaths, nor will they be bound, fettered, or shackled. Day or night they will sleep peacefully, free from evil dreams.”

「阿難!是娑婆界有八萬四千災變惡星,二十八大惡星而為上首,復有八大惡星以為其主,作種種形出現世時,能生眾生種種災異有此呪地悉皆銷滅,十二由旬成結界地,諸惡災祥永不能入。

“Ānanda! Among the eighty-four thousand inauspicious heavenly bodies that indicate the coming of disasters in this Sāha world, twenty-eight major heavenly bodies are the more inauspicious among them, and among these, eight are the most influential. These heavenly bodies appear in a variety of forms. Their appearance can indicate the visitation of calamities upon living beings and the occurrence of uncanny events. But in any place where this mantra exists, all such calamities are prevented. An area of eighty-four miles around such a place will be safeguarded so that no calamitous influence will ever be able to enter.”

「是故如來宣示此呪,於未來世保護初學,諸修行者入三摩提,身心泰然得大安隱,更無一切諸魔鬼神,及無始來冤橫宿殃,舊業陳債來相惱害。汝及眾中諸有學人,及未來世諸修行者,依我壇場如法持戒,所受戒主逢清淨僧,持此呪心不生疑悔,是善男子於此父母所生之身不得心通,十方如來便為妄語。」

“These are the reasons why the Thus-Come One has proclaimed this mantra. In the future it will protect all who have just begun their spiritual practice so that they can enter samādhi and have peace and great tranquility in body and mind. Furthermore, they will not be harmed or vexed by any demon, ghost, or spirit, nor by any enmity, vulnerability to disaster, or karmic debt incurred in previous lives since time without beginning. Supposing that, besides you and others in the assembly who still need instruction, spiritual practitioners in the future establish a site of awakening and keep the precepts in accord with the instructions; supposing that they have received precepts from precept-masters who have maintained purity as members of the Sangha; and supposing that they harbor no doubts as they uphold this essential mantra; then if these good people do not gain a spiritual awakening while in this present body given them by their parents, the Thus-Come Ones of the ten directions have not told the truth.”

說是語已,會中無量百千金剛一時佛前合掌頂禮而白佛言:「如佛所說,我當誠心保護如是修菩提者。」

When these words had been spoken, countless hundreds of thousands of vajra-[brandishing warriors] placed their palms together and bowed before the Buddha all at the same time, and they said to him respectfully, “As the Buddha has said, we will devote ourselves to protecting all those who undertake this practice on their path to enlightenment.”

爾時,梵王并天帝釋四天大王,亦於佛前同時頂禮而白佛言:「審有如是修學善人,我當盡心至誠保護,令其一生所作如願。」

At that time, the King of the Brahma Heaven, the Lord Śakra, and the Four Celestial Kings bowed together before the Buddha, and they said to him respectfully, “If indeed there be good people who cultivate and study, we will devote all our effort to protect these people so that their wishes will be fulfilled during their present lives.”

復有無量藥叉大將、諸羅剎王、富單那王、鳩槃茶王、毘舍遮王、頻那夜迦諸大鬼王及諸鬼帥,亦於佛前合掌頂禮:「我亦誓願護持是人,令菩提心速得圓滿。」

Moreover, Vināyaka and countless ghost-kings and ghost-generals, including great yakṣa-generals and kings of rākṣasas, pūtanas, kumbhāṇḍas, and piśācas, all placed their palms together, bowed before the Buddha respectfully saying, “We too vow to protect these people and to lead them to quickly fulfill their resolve to become enlightened.”

復有無量日月天子、風師、雨師、雲師、雷師,并電伯等,年歲巡官諸星眷屬,亦於會中頂禮佛足而白佛言:「我亦保護是修行人,安立道場得無所畏。」

Moreover, immeasurable sun and moon godlings, rain master, cloud masters, thunder masters, lightning masters, and other such masters, together with monitoring gods of the year, and the retinues of the lords of the heavenly bodies, all bowed to the Buddha from their places in the midst of the assembly and addressed the Buddha saying, We too will protect all these people in their spiritual practice so that they will be free of fear and will be secure and at peace in the places for awakening that they have established.”

復有無量山神、海神,一切土地水陸空行萬物精祇,并風神王無色界天,於如來前同時稽首而白佛言:「我亦保護是修行人,得成菩提永無魔事。」

Moreover, countless mountain-spirits and sea-spirits, and myriads of other spirits that move on land, through water, and in the air, together with the wind-kings of the air and the gods on the four planes of formlessness paid obeisance to the Thus-Come One at the same time. They said to him respectfully, “We too will protect these people in their spiritual practice so that they can become enlightened without ever being troubled by the influences of Mara.”

爾時,八萬四千那由他恒河沙俱胝金剛藏王菩薩,在大會中即從座起,頂禮佛足而白佛言:「世尊!如我等輩所修功業,久成菩提不取涅槃,常隨此呪,救護末世修三摩提正修行者。世尊!如是修心求正定人,若在道場及餘經行,乃至散心遊戲聚落,我等徒眾常當隨從侍衛此人,縱令魔王大自在天求其方便,終不可得,諸小鬼神去此善人十由旬外;除彼發心樂修禪者。世尊!如是惡魔若魔眷屬,欲來侵擾是善人者,我以寶杵殞碎其首猶如微塵,恒令此人所作如願。」

At that time, the Bodhisattvas in the lineage of the Bodhisattva-King Vajra Treasury, numbering eight-four thousand million billion times the number of sand-grains in the River Ganges, stood up in the midst of the great assembly, bowed before the Buddha, and then addressed the Buddha saying, “World-Honored One! Like these others, we all became enlightened long ago, but we have chosen not to enter nirvana. Instead, we continue in our meritorious work of constant attendance upon those whose practice is centered on this mantra, and during the time of the Dharma’s ending, we will protect all who correctly practice this samādhi. World-Honored One! These beings who cultivate their minds by correctly practicing this samādhi may be seated in their site of awakening, or they may be walking upon the roads, or their minds may not be focused while they are relaxing in their villages, but in any case we and our followers will constantly attend upon them and stand guard over them. Even if the Mara King who presides over the Parinirmita-vaśavartin Heaven (’Realm of enjoying sense pleasures created by others’) should seek to have his way with these beings, he will be utterly unable to do so. Lesser ghosts and spirits will be able to approach no closer than seventy miles from these good people — unless these ghosts and spirits are also resolved to become enlightened and are joyfully practicing meditation in stillness. World-Honored One! With our bejeweled vajra clubs we will smash to bits the skulls of evil demons if ever they or members of their retinues should seek to intrude upon these good people in order to disrupt their practice. We will always help these good people fulfill their wishes.”
