Summary
s.1While the Buddha is abiding in the space above the Śuddhāvāsa realm with a retinue of bodhisattvas, he urges them to uphold The Dhāraṇī of the Six Gates and presents these gates as six aspirations that vanquish the causes of saṃsāric experience. He then presents the dhāraṇī itself to his listeners and instructs them to recite it three times each day and three times each night. Finally, he indicates the benefits that come from this practice, and the assembly praises the Buddha’s words. This is followed by a short dedication marking the conclusion of the text.
s.1佛陀住在淨居天之上的虛空中,與無數菩薩眾相圍繞,他勸勉他們受持《六門陀羅尼》,並將這六門呈現為能夠消除輪迴經歷根本原因的六個發願。之後,他將陀羅尼本身呈現給聽眾,並教導他們每天誦念三次、每晚誦念三次。最後,他指示這個修持所帶來的利益,僧眾讚歎佛陀的教法。隨後是標誌文本結束的短迴向。
