If they heard the name of that Buddha, Medicine Master Vaidurya Light Tathagata, in their former human existence, and they recall that Tathagata”s name for the briefest moment while they are in the evil destinies, they will immediately be reborn in the human realm. Moreover, they will remember their past lives and will dread the sufferings of the evil destinies. They will not delight in worldly pleasures, but will rejoice in giving and praise others who give. They will not begrudge giving whatever they have.
Gradually, to those who come to beg, they will be able to give away their own head, eyes, hands, feet, and even their entire body, to say nothing of their money and property!"
复有无量悭贪有情。积集资财。于其自身尚不受用。何况能与父母妻子奴婢作使及来乞者。彼诸有情从此命终。生饿鬼界或傍生趣。由昔人间曾得暂闻药师琉璃光如来名故。念在恶趣。暂得忆念彼如来名。即于念时从彼处没还生人中。得宿命念畏恶趣苦不乐欲乐。好行惠施赞叹施者。一切所有悉无贪惜。渐次尚能以头目手足血肉身分施来求者。况余财物。
"Moreover, Manjushri, there are beings who, although they study under the Tathagata, nonetheless violate the shila.
Others, although they do not violate the shila, nonetheless transgress the rules and regulations.
Others, although they do not violate the shila or rules and regulations, nonetheless destroy their own proper views.
Others, although they do not destroy their own proper views, nonetheless neglect learning, so they are unable to understand the profound meaning of the Sutras that the Buddha speaks.
Others, although they are learned, nonetheless give rise to overweening pride. Shadowed by overweening pride, they justify themselves and disparage others, slander the Proper Dharma, and join the retinue of demons.Such fools act on their misguided views and further, cause immeasurable millions of beings to fall into pits of great danger.
These beings will drift endlessly in the realms of the hells, the animals, and the ghosts. But if they hear the name of Medicine Master Vaidurya Light Tathagata, they will be able to renounce their evil practicesand cultivate wholesome Dharmas, and thereby avoid falling into the evil destinies.
复次曼殊室利。若诸有情。虽于如来受诸学处。而破尸罗。有虽不破尸罗而破轨则。有于尸罗轨则虽得不坏然毁正见。有虽不毁正见而弃多闻于佛所说契经深义不能解了。有虽多闻而增上慢。由增上慢覆蔽心故。自是非他嫌谤正法为魔伴党。如是愚人自行邪见。复令无量俱胝有情堕大险坑。此诸有情。应于地狱傍生鬼趣流转无穷。若得闻此药师琉璃光如来名号。便舍恶行修诸善法。不堕恶趣。
If those who have fallen into the evil destinies because they could not renounce their evil practices and cultivate wholesome Dharmas, by the awesome power of the past vows of that Tathagata, get to hear his name for only a moment, then after they pass out of that existence, they will be reborn again as human beings. They will hold proper views and will be ever vigorous. Their minds will be well-regulated and joyful, enabling them to renounce their families and leave the householder”s life.
They will take up and maintain study of the Tathagata”s Dharma without any violation, they will have proper views and erudition; they will understand profound meanings and yet be free from
overweening pride.
They will not slander the Proper Dharma and will never join the ranks of demons.
They will progressively cultivate the practices of Bodhisattvas and will soon bring them to perfection."
设有不能舍诸恶行修行善法。堕恶趣者。以彼如来本愿威力。令其现前暂闻名号。从彼命终还生人趣。得正见精进善调意乐。便能舍家趣于非家如来法中。受持学处无有毁犯。正见多闻解甚深义。离增上慢不谤正法。不为魔伴。渐次修行诸菩萨行速得圆满。
"Moreover, Manjushri, if there are sentient beings who harbor stinginess, greed, and jealousy, who praise themselves and disparage others, they will fall into the three evil destinies for countless thousands of years where they will undergo intense suffering.
After undergoing intense suffering, at the end of their lives they will be born in the world as oxen, horses, camels, and donkeys that are constantly beaten, afflicted by thirst and hunger, and made to carry heavy burdens along the roads.
