54--Glossary

realising that such doings are wrong and sinful and will only cause them to fall into evil destinies. This is truly pitiful and sad. Hence, I command that this Sutra and Mantra be propagated to innumerable lands, as many as the grains of sand of the Ganges River. May all sentient beings receive great benefits, their lifespan lengthen, blessings multiply and together they will attain Buddhahood.

Moreover, the Buddha had vowed to extensively deliver all sentient beings; priority will definitely be given to those who are loyal and those who are filial. Loyal officials and filial persons, born in a highly cultured and civilised country during the times of peace, will enjoy various kinds of prosperity and happiness, all because they have served their Emperor and parents to the best of their ability (in their previous existences). In addition, if they respect and revere the Triple Jewel, cultivate and accrue good deeds, then within a short time, they will ascend the Way to Enlightenment.

For those who commit evil deeds and are ignorant of mending their behaviour, their evil actions will get worse day by day. They accumulate great evil karma and are resigned to their own deterioration like people who have bathed in paint, truly difficult to be cleansed indeed. Having fallen into the dark phase, what causes could release them from the world of transmigration? If they can change for the better and cultivate based on this Dharma-door (uphold and recite this Dharani), then they will be able to transcend the uncountable kalpas of cycles of rebirth.
