Summary

s.1Mañjuśrī’s Promise begins without preamble with a Sanskrit praise text in the form of a dhāraṇī that resembles other traditional encomiums that exult in the purity, grace, and triumph of bodhisattvas. The scripture then enumerates the benefits accrued by a single recitation of this dhāraṇī, which include the purification of evil deeds accumulated over eons, and the many rewards for its extensive recitation, namely erudition, exceptional powers of memorization, and finally the sight of the body of Mañjuśrī himself.

s.1《文殊菩薩的誓願》開篇沒有序言,直接以梵文讚頌文本開始,形式為陀羅尼,類似於其他傳統的讚頌文,讚美菩薩的清淨、恩澤和殊勝。經文隨後列舉了誦持此陀羅尼一次所獲得的利益,包括消除累積多劫的惡業,以及廣泛誦持所帶來的眾多功德,即博學多聞、超群的記憶力,以及最終親見文殊菩薩的身相。
