Beings may be impoverished or plagued with disease, Their homes may be troubled; their relatives scattered. They may find no peace even in sleep or dreams. Their efforts may be thwarted so that nothing goes their way.
But if they earnestly behold and bow to Earth Store”s image All those evil situations will simply disappear. And even their dreams will be totally peaceful. Food and clothes will be ample; spirits and ghosts protective.
贫穷众生及疾病， 家宅凶衰眷属离， 睡梦之中悉不安， 求者乖违无称遂。 至心瞻礼地藏像， 一切恶事皆消灭， 至於梦中尽得安， 衣食丰饶神鬼护。
People may need to enter mountain forests, cross great seas, Or go among venomous or evil birds and beasts, evil people, Evil spirits, evil ghosts, and even evil winds Or put themselves in other distressing situations.
欲入山林及渡海， 毒恶禽兽及恶人， 恶神恶鬼并恶风， 一切诸难诸苦恼。
They need only gaze in worship and make offerings To an image of the Great Being, Earth Store Bodhisattva. In response, all the evils in those mountain forests And on those vast seas will simply disappear.
但当瞻礼及供养， 地藏菩萨大士像， 如是山林大海中， 应是诸恶皆消灭。
Contemplator of Sounds, listen well to what I say. Earth Store Bodhisattva is an unending wonder! Hundreds of thousands of eons is time too brief To describe fully the powers of this Great Being.
观音至心听吾说， 地藏无尽不思议， 百千万劫说不周， 广宣大士如是力。
If people can but hear the name "Earth Store," And when seeing his image revere him and bow in worship, And offer incense, flowers, clothing, food, and drink, Those gifts will bring them hundreds of thousands of joys.
地藏名字若人闻， 乃至见像瞻礼者， 香华一服饮食奉， 供养百千受妙乐。
If they can dedicate such merit to the Dharma Realm, They will become Buddhas, transcending birth and death. Contemplator of Sounds, know this well, And tell everyone everywhere in lands like Ganges sands."
若能以此回法界， 毕竟成佛超生死。 是故观音汝当知， 普告恒沙诸国土。
CHAPTER XIII
The Entrustment of People and Gods
嘱累人天品第十三
At that time the World Honored One extended his gold-colored arm, and again rubbed the crown of the head of Earth Store Bodhisattva while saying, "Earth Store, Earth Store, your spiritual powers, compassion, wisdom, and eloquence are inconceivable.
Even if all the Buddhas of the Ten Directions were to proclaim their praise of your inconceivable deeds, they could not finish in thousands eons.
尔时世尊举金色臂，又摩地藏菩萨模诃萨顶，而作是言：『地藏地藏，汝之神力不可思议、汝之慈悲不可思议、汝之智慧不可思议、汝之辩才不可思议，正使十方诸佛赞叹宣说乳之不可思议事，千万劫中不能得尽。』
"Earth Store, Earth Store, remember this entrustment that I am again making here in the Trayastrimsha Heaven in this great assembly of hundreds of thousands of millions of indescribably many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, gods, dragons, and the rest of the Eightfold Division.
I again entrust to you the gods, people, and others who are still in the burning house and have not yet left the Triple World.
Do not allow those beings to fall into the evil destinies even for a single day and night, much less fall into the Fivefold Relentless Hell or the Avichi Hell, where they would have to pass through thousands of millions of eons with no chance of escape.
『地藏地藏，记吾今日在忉利天中，於百千万亿不可说不可说一切诸佛菩萨，天龙八部，大会之中，再以人天诸众生等，未出三界，在火宅中者，付嘱於汝。无令是诸众生，堕恶趣中，一日一夜，何况更落五无间及阿鼻地狱，动经千万亿劫，无有出期。』
"Earth Store, the beings of southern Jambudvipa have irresolute wills and natures. They habitually do many evil deeds. Even if they resolve to do good, they soon renounce that resolve. If they encounter evil conditions, they tend to become increasingly involved in them.
