Summary
s.1The Dhāraṇī “Maitreya’s Pledge” is a short dhāraṇī centered on Maitreya, the bodhisattva who will, as alluded to in this text, awaken as the next buddha in our world. Its dhāraṇī consists of a root mantra, heart mantra, and auxiliary heart mantra and is followed by Maitreya’s vow to benefit beings. The benefits of the dhāraṇī range from receiving prophecies for awakening to acquiring one’s desired material enjoyments. Since these benefits also extend to animals, the text advocates reciting its dhāraṇī so that animals may hear it as well.
s.1《彌勒發願陀羅尼》是一部簡短的陀羅尼，以彌勒菩薩為中心。彌勒菩薩將如本文所暗示的那樣，在我們的世界中覺悟成為下一位佛陀。其陀羅尼包含根本咒、心咒和副心咒，之後是彌勒為利益眾生所發的誓願。該陀羅尼的利益範圍從獲得對於覺悟的預言到獲得所希望的物質享受。由於這些利益也延伸至動物，本文提倡誦讀其陀羅尼，使動物也能聽聞。
