複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”。
"Moreover, if a person who suddenly has nightmares, sees ill omens, notices strange birds flocking together, or perceives many uncanny events in his dwelling can worship and make offerings of many fine things to that World Honored One, Medicine Master Vaidurya Light Tathagata, then the nightmares, ill omens, and inauspicious things will disappear and will no longer trouble him.
”若複有人，忽得惡夢，見諸惡相；或怪鳥來集；或于住處百怪出現。此人若以衆妙資具，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，不能爲患。
When a person is endangered by water, fire, knives, or poison; or finds himself on a steep cliff or in a dangerous place; or faces fierce elephants, lions, tigers, wolves, bears, poisonous snakes, scorpions, centipedes, millipedes, mosquitoes, gnats, or other frightful things, if he can single-mindedly recollect, worship, and make offerings to that Buddha, he will be liberated from all those frightful things.
When other countries invade or when there arethieves or riots, if a person can recollect and worship that Tathagata, then he will be free of all of these as well.
或有水、火、刀、毒、懸險、惡象、師子、虎、狼、熊、罴、毒蛇、惡蠍、蜈蚣、蚰蜒、蚊、虻等布；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”。
Moreover, Manjushri, there may be good men and women of pure faith who, all their lives, do not worship other gods, but single-mindedly take refuge with the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. They accept and uphold precepts, such as the five precepts, the ten precepts, the four hundred precepts of a Bodhisattva, the two hundred and fifty precepts of a Bhikshu, or the five hundred precepts of a Bhikshuni.
Perhaps they have violated some of the precepts they received and are afraid of falling into the evil destinies.
If they concentrate on reciting that Buddha”s name and worship and make offerings to him, they definitely will not be reborn in the three evil destinies."
”複次、曼殊室利！若有淨信善男子、善女人等，乃至盡形不事余天，唯當一心，歸佛法僧，受持禁戒：若五戒、十戒，菩薩四百戒、苾刍二百五十戒，比丘尼五百戒。于所受中或有毀犯，怖墮惡趣，若能專念彼佛名號，恭敬供養者，必定不受叁惡趣生。
"If there is a woman about to give birth who suffers great pain, if she sincerely recites his name and worships, praises, venerates, and makes offerings to that Tathagata, all her sufferings will be dispelled.
The newborn child will be sound and healthy, and will have upright features. Seeing him will make people happy.
He will be keen and intelligent, peaceful and secure, and with few ailments, and no evil spirit will come to rob him of his vitality."
或有女人，臨當産時，受于極苦；若能志心稱名禮贊，恭敬供養彼如來者，衆苦皆除。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”。
At that time the World Honored One said to Ananda:
"The merit and virtue of the World Honored One, Medicine Master Vaidurya Light Tathagata, which I have just extolled, is the extremely profound practice of all Buddhas. It is difficult to fathom and to comprehend. Do you believe it or not
"
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，汝爲信不？
Ananda said, "Greatly virtuous World Honored One, I have absolutely no doubts regarding the Sutras spoken by the Tathagata. Why
Because all Buddhas” karmas of body, speech and mind are pure.
World Honored One, the sun and moon could fall, Wonderfully High, the king of mountains,
could be toppled or shaken, but the words of the Buddhas never change."
阿難白言：”大德世尊！我于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”。
"World Honored One, there are sentient beings deficient in faith who hear about the extremely profound practices of all Buddhas and think to themselves, ”How could one obtain such supreme merit and benefit merely by reciting the name of a single Buddha, Medicine Master Vaidurya Light
