Summary
s.1The Noble Queen of Incantations: The Great Amulet, one of five texts that constitute the Pañcarakṣā scriptural collection, has been among the most popular texts used for pragmatic purposes throughout the Mahāyāna Buddhist world. As its title suggests, The Great Amulet prescribes the use of amulets into which the incantation is physically incorporated. These devices are then worn around the neck or arm, attached to flags, interred in stūpas and funeral pyres, or otherwise used anywhere their presence is deemed beneficial. Wearing or encountering the incantation promises a range of effects, including the prevention and healing of illness, the conception and birth of male offspring, and control over the world of nonhuman spirit entities. The text also protects against consequences of negative deeds, delivering evildoers from negative rebirths and ensuring their place among the gods. The promise of augmenting merit even extends in one passage to an increase of mindfulness and liberation from saṃsāra.
s.1《咒妃》又稱《大隨求》，是構成五大護持經典集合的五部經文之一，在大乘佛教世界中一直是用途最廣泛的實用經典。顧名思義，《大隨求》規定使用隨求物，將咒語物理性地寫入其中。這些物品隨後被佩戴在頸部或手臂上，附著在旗幟上，埋入佛塔和葬禮火堆中，或以其他方式在認為其存在有益的任何地方使用。穿戴或接觸這個咒語承諾了一系列功效，包括預防和治癒疾病、男性後代的懷孕和誕生，以及對非人類精靈實體世界的控制。這部經文也保護人們免受負面行為的後果，使惡行者免於負面往生，並確保他們在諸天之中的位置。增長功德的承諾甚至在一處經文中延伸到增加正念和從輪迴中解脫。
