Day 30 covers all of Chapter 26, Dhāraṇīs
Having last month heard Medicine-King Bodhisattva ask about the merits given to the good men or women who keep, read, recite, understand or copy the Lotus Sūtra, we hear Medicine-King Bodhisattva dhāraṇīs.
Thereupon Medicine-King Bodhisattva said to the Buddha,
“World-Honored One! Now I will give dhārāni-spells to the expounder of the Dharma’ in order to protect him.”
Then he uttered spells:
“Ani (1), mani (2), manei (3), mamanei (4), shirei (5), sharitei (6), shamya (7), shabi-tai (8), sentei (9), mokutei (10), mokutabi (11), shabi (12), aishabi (13), sōbi (14), shabi (15), shaei (16), ashaei (17), agini (18), sentei (19), shabi (20), darani (21 ), arokya-basai-ha habi-shani (22), neibitei (23), abentarancibitei (24), atantahareishudai(25), ukurei (26), mukurei (27), ararei (28), hararei (29), shukyashi (30), asammasambi (31), botsudabikirijittei (32), darumaharishitei (33), sōgyanekkushanei (34), bashabashashudai(35), mantara (36), manta ashayata (37), urntaurota (38), kyōsharya(39), ashara (40), ashay taya (41), abaro (42), amanyanataya (43).”
[He said to the Buddha:]
“World-Honored One! These dhārānis, these divine spells, have already been uttered by six thousand and two hundred million Buddhas, that is, as many Buddhas as there are sands in the River Ganges. Those who attack and abuse this teacher of the Dharma should be considered to have attacked and abused those Buddhas.”
Thereupon Śākyamuni Buddha praised Medicine-King Bodhisattva, saying:
“Excellent, excellent, Medicine-King! You uttered these dhārānis in order to protect this teacher of the Dharma out of your compassion towards him. You will be able to give many benefits to all living beings.”
