复应念彼如来本愿功德，读诵此经，思惟其义，演说开示。随所乐求，一切皆遂：求长寿，得长寿，求富饶，得富饶，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.
”若复有人，忽得恶梦，见诸恶相；或怪鸟来集；或于住处百怪出现。此人若以众妙资具，恭敬供养彼世尊药师琉璃光如来者，恶梦、恶相诸不吉祥，皆悉隐没，不能为患。
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、悬险、恶象、师子、虎、狼、熊、罴、毒蛇、恶蝎、蜈蚣、蚰蜒、蚊、虻等布；若能至心忆念彼佛，恭敬供养，一切怖畏皆得解脱。若他国侵扰，盗贼反乱，忆念恭敬彼如来者，亦皆解脱”。
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."
”复次、曼殊室利！若有净信善男子、善女人等，乃至尽形不事余天，唯当一心，归佛法僧，受持禁戒：若五戒、十戒，菩萨四百戒、苾刍二百五十戒，比丘尼五百戒。于所受中或有毁犯，怖堕恶趣，若能专念彼佛名号，恭敬供养者，必定不受三恶趣生。
"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，临当产时，受于极苦；若能志心称名礼赞，恭敬供养彼如来者，众苦皆除。所生之子，身分具足，形色端正，见者欢喜，利根聪明，安隐少病，无有非人，夺其精气”。
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
"
尔时、世尊告阿难言：”如我称扬彼世尊药师琉璃光如来所有功德，此是诸佛甚深行处，难可解了，汝为信不？
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."
阿难白言：”大德世尊！我于如来所说契经不生疑惑，所以者何？一切如来身语意业无不清净。世尊！此日月轮可令堕落，妙高山王可使倾动，诸佛所言无有异也”。
"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
