The Eradicating Offenses Dharani of The Seven Buddhas 七佛滅罪真言 25/9/2010

"The Eradicating Offenses Dharani of The Seven Buddhas" (with Mantras/Dharani phonetic & functional analysis) Sanskrit/English Version 1: DEVA DEVA'TE, CYU-HA CYU-HA'TE, DHĀRA DHṚ'TE, NIR-HṚ'TE, VIMALA'TE SVĀHĀ All the gods come (ga'te), [blame] move indeed (gha), move indeed & gone (ga'te), stream (dhāra) having been held (dhṛte), being inundated with (hṛte) water (nir), purity (vimala) appears (ga'te). So be it! Version 2: LIPA-LIPA'TE, KUHA-KUHA'TE, TARA-RI'TE, NIHA-RA'TE, VIMALA'TE, MAHAGA'TE, CHE'LINGAN'TE One suggests that the last 2 words mean "great [virtues] appear, and [blame] is buried and gone". Other suggests this dharani is 7 groups of occult sound representing 7 steps to disperse blame. It means use of (1) psychic power [Abhinnas] (2) daring and resolution (3) wisdom (4) eradication of discord, fame and position (5) eradication of karma related to speech and pride (6) great (maha) action and energy/effort, and (7) eradication of desire, emotion, wealth and fame. However, both neglect to provid the reference.

「七佛滅罪真言」出自《大方等陀羅尼經》。文殊師利菩薩，湣念末法比丘毀四重戒，及比丘尼犯八重戒。所犯重罪雲何懺悔，請佛開示。爾時如來即說此咒，乃過去七佛所說。是咒能滅四重五逆重罪­，獲福無量。 四重五逆，非無生懺，焉能滅罪。咒乃七佛稱性所說。行人誦之，念念亦稱妙性，得無生理，如斯滅罪，猶湯烊雪。
《七佛滅罪真言》 
爾時文殊師利。即從座起偏袒右肩。右膝著地而白佛言。世尊若比丘。於世尊去世之後若毀四重。若比丘尼毀犯八重。若菩薩若沙彌沙彌尼優婆塞優婆夷。若毀如是一一諸戒。所犯重­罪當雲何滅。佛言嗚呼善哉文殊師利。乃能請問如是等事。汝慈悲勝故能發是問。汝若不發是問。我終不說彼惡世比丘所犯之過。善哉善哉文殊師利。汝今諦聽當為汝說。我去世後若­有惡律儀比丘毀四重禁。默然而受檀越供養而不改悔。當知是比丘必受地獄苦而無疑也。我今當出良藥救彼比丘重病。若我去世後毀四重禁羞不發露。汝今諦聽當為汝說： 
離婆離婆諦‧仇呵仇呵帝‧陀羅離帝‧尼呵羅帝‧毘摩離帝‧莎呵‧ 
文殊師利此陀羅尼。是過去七佛之所宣說。如是七七亦不可數亦不可計。說此陀羅尼救攝眾生。現在十方不可計不可數七佛。亦宣說此陀羅尼救攝眾生。未來不可計不可數七佛。亦宣­說此陀羅尼救攝眾生。汝今請問陀羅尼義。我已說竟。以此陀羅尼經。救攝未來世惡律儀比丘。令其堅固住清淨地。善男子若有比丘毀四重禁。至心憶念此陀羅尼經。誦一千四百遍。­誦一千四百遍已乃一懺悔。請一比丘為作證人。自陳其罪向形像前。如是次第經八十七日勤懺悔已。是諸戒根若不還生終無是處。彼人能於八十七日勤懺悔已。若不堅固阿耨多羅三藐­三菩提心亦無是處。
