　　When their life in the heavens ends, they will be born among people again.

　　They may be wheel-turning kings, reigning over the four continents with awesome virtue and ease,

　　bringing uncountable hundreds of thousands of living beings to abide in the practice of the ten good deeds.

　　Or they may be born as kshatriyas, Brahmans, laymen, or sons of honorable families.

　　They will be wealthy, with storehouses filled to overflowing.

　　Handsome in appearance. they will be surrounded by a great retinue of

　　relatives.

　　They will be intelligent and wise, courageous and valiant, like great and awesome knights.

　　If a woman hears the name of the World Honored One, Medicine Master Vaidurya Light Tathagata,

　　and sincerely cherishes it, in the future she will never again be born as a female."

　　天上寿尽还生人间。或为轮王统摄四洲。威德自在安立无量百千有情于十善道。或生刹帝利婆罗门居士大家。多饶财宝仓库盈溢。形相端严眷属具足。聪明智慧。勇健威猛如大力士。若是女人得闻世尊药师如来名号至心受持。于后不复更受女身。

　　"Moreover, Manjushri, when Medicine Master Vaidurya Light Tathagata attained Bodhi, by the power of his past vows he contemplated all the sentient beings who were undergoing various kinds of sickness and sufferings.

　　Some suffered from diseases such as emaciation,atrophy, severe thirst, or yellow fever; others were harmed by paralysis ghosts or by poisonous hexes; some died naturally when young, while others experienced untimely deaths.

　　He wished to dispel all their sicknesses and sufferings, and to fulfill their wishes."

　　”复次、曼殊室利！彼药师琉璃光如来得菩提时，由本愿力，观诸有情，遇众病苦瘦挛、干消、黄热等病；或被厌魅、蛊毒所中；或复短命，或时横死；欲是等病苦消除所求愿满”。

　　At that time, the World Honored One entered a samadhi called "extinguishing the suffering and distress of all beings."

　　After he entered this samadhi, a great light came forth from his flesh-cowl.

　　From amid that light he proclaimed this magnificent dharani:

　　时彼世尊，入三摩地，名曰除灭一切众生苦恼。既入定已，于肉髻中出大光明，光中演说，大陀罗尼曰：

　　Na mo bo qie fa di

　　Bi sha she

　　Ju lu bi liu li

　　Bo la po

　　He la she ye

　　Da tuo jie duo ye

　　E la he di

　　San miao san pu tuo ye

　　Da zhi tuo nan

　　Bi sha shi

　　Bi sha shi

　　Bi sha she

　　San mo jie di

　　Suo he.

　　"那谟薄伽筏帝，裨杀社窭噜，薛琉璃钵剌婆喝啰阇也，怛陀揭多耶，阿罗诃帝，三藐三勃陀耶。怛侄阤：唵，鞞杀逝，鞞杀逝，鞞杀社，三没揭帝娑诃"。

　　After he had spoken that mantra from amid the light, the earth trembled and emitted great light. All beings” sicknesses and sufferings were cast off, and they felt peaceful and happy.

　　尔时、光中说此咒已，大地震动，放大光明，一切众生病苦皆除，受安隐乐。

　　"Manjushri, if you see a man (or a woman) who is ill, you should single-mindedly and frequently clean and bathe him and rinse his mouth. Provide him with food, medicine, or water that is free of insects, over any of which the dharanihas been recited 108 times. After the sick person has taken it, all his sicknesses and sufferings will be gone.

　　If this person has a wish, he should recite this mantra with utmost sincerity. Then he will obtain whatever he wished for, and his life will be prolonged and free from illness. At the end of his life, he will be reborn in that Buddha”s land. He will become irreversible and will ultimately attain Bodhi.

　　”曼殊室利！若见男子、女人有病苦者，应当一心，为彼病人，常清净澡漱，或食、或药、或无虫水、咒一百八遍，与彼服食，所有病苦悉皆消灭。若有所求，志心念诵，皆得如是无病延年；命终之后，生彼世界，得不退转，乃至菩提。

　　Therefore, Manjushri, if there are men and women who, with utmost sincerity, diligently worship and make offerings to Medicine Master Vaidurya Light Tathagata they should always recite this mantra and

　　never forget it."

　　是故曼殊室利！若有男子、女人，于彼药师琉璃光如来，至心殷重，恭敬供养者，常持此咒，勿令废忘”。

　　"Moreover, Manjushri, men or women of pure faith, who have heard all the names of Medicine Master Vaidurya Light Tathagata, One of Proper and Equal Enlightenment, should recite and uphold them. In the early morning, after brushing their teeth and bathing, they should make offerings of fragrant flowers,incense, perfumed balms, and various kinds of music before an image of that Buddha.

　　”复次、曼殊室利！若有净信男子女人，得闻药师琉璃光如来应正等觉所有…
