I. SIX LETTERS DHARANI KING SUTRA
Shi Yi recorded in the Liang Dynasty Thich Vien Duc translation from Chinese to Vietnamese.

As I have heard, once Buddha was in Svavasti country, in the forest of Jetjeta, there was a secular woman (Candala), who used sorcery on Ananda and many others. She worshipped the Asuras of mountain and trees, the sun, the moon, the five stars, the Asuras of the Great Bear constellation, ghosts and evil spirits. When the Buddha saw Ananda in distress from her spells, he felt compassion for beings in the three generations and revealed the Six Words Dharani. He said, “the Buddhas of the past have given this Dharani, today I also give it.” Then he recited:
……(Dharani)
If anyone from heaven, or from ghosts, Dragons, yaksas, rakchasas, kumbhandas, putanas, pishachas, Abamala (blue Demons), Upamala, Krstya (Demons who possess cadaver) and other Demons, Sramana Brahmane monk, Khattiya, (2nd class ruling India) Vaisya (3rd of the four castes-the settlers) Sudra (the workers in the field), Matanga, Candala (the lowest class), or Nigantha, the infidels, or servants, either man or woman etc. has used or is using cruel spells, poisons and germs to harm people, I use this Six Words Dharani King to cast spell and eliminate the effects of black magic wherever it is. Whether in the sky or below, in the eight directions, up and down, on the wall, or on anything attached to that wall, in the clouds, in space, on or under ground, or on the far eight directions.
If I cast this spell on where black magic is, in the four direction, in the wind, in the water of four seas, in the side of the river Huai, or the river Hong, in the inside of a pavement, in a pool of water, in the mountain or mountain stream, in springs, ravines, caves, hills, in mounds, holes, inside of the big five mountains, inside deep and wide ponds, in forests, big waterfalls, in the grass, in big and small trees, in the roots and branches of trees and grass, on the inside of large or narrow short-cut roads, on the inside of big or small four-way crossroads, in the outside door of big or small cities and in the quarter of town, all the effects of black magic in those places will be eliminated.
If I cast this spell on where black magic is, in big or small city, quarter, hamlet, outside and inside the doors of the palace, graves, houses, cars, residences, ramparts, walls, roof of houses, beside poles, or under carved stone, inside the heap of fertilized soil, or the main rope of a fishing net, kitchens, mortars, mills, or inside stoves, latrines, stables, in the tools of big and small cars, in the adornment of saddles, in beds, narrow bamboo beds, soft wool, mattresses, shoes, hats, inside containers, in foods and beverages; or close to a person and his places of walking, standing, lying and seating, all the effects of black magic in those places will be eliminated.
If black magic was cast in the day or night, it will also be eliminated at such time by the power of this spell. This Dharani has the ability to eliminate magical conjuration of Indra, Brahma, Tchaturmahardja and evil spirits. Benevolent Deities supporting this Dharani will negate all nasty spells, bad germs and curses or poisons caused by Demons, Krstya, or Putanas. Reciting this Dharani brings security, peace and longevity of one hundred years. Why so? The highest position in this world does not surpass the power of Buddha whom the Heavens and Devas respect. If anyone uses black magic to poison and harm others successfully or potentially successfully, its effect will be totally eliminated. When and where this “Six Letters Dharani King Sutra” is recited, or thought of, all former bad karmas and its obstacles shall be eliminated. Then he recited:
………(Dharani)

This Dharani eliminates the black magic spells from Deities, Dragons, yaksas, rakchasas, and all other Demons. Benevolent Gods and saints will safeguard and help the practitioner. One will be safe day and night to live up to 100 years and enjoy 100 autumns. Why so? The supreme worldly position cannot surpass the doctrine of Buddha. Heaven and human beings as well as the ghost obey his teachings and end all desires.
Then he recited the Dharani: “ ……………..”

Why such effectiveness? The supremacy of the world cannot surpass the monks who are honest and blessed. They are respected by saints and supported by benevolent Deities. Then he recited the Dharani: “…………….”
All sins of wrongful actions such as the practice of black magic, or the making of poisons, or illegal actions, either right or wrong or bad karmas of past or present life will all be eliminated. Then he recited the Dharani: “…………….”

If anyone recites this on a dead tree, it shall live again with full foliage. One will live up to 100 years and 100 autumns just as Buddha had said and as Ananda had so transmitted. If the devout recite Dharani correctly, he can protect himself from all evils, and will draw good fortune to himself. If he recites it for another person, all the miseries of that person will also be eliminated. When cultivating one should not eat the five-spiced food, he must have a pure mind while reciting the Dharani so the disasters can be eliminated, and good things can come his way. Then he recited the Dharani: “………………”
and said this prayer: I bow down to the Triple Jewels, to the Tathagata of Perfect Wisdom, to all the Buddhas Enlightened with Right and Superior Knowledge. I bow down to the Holy Avalokistevara (repeat three times), please consider and feel compassion for me. (Say this three times). I recite this Dharani to pray for peace and safety.
Then he recited the Dharani: “………………..”

This Dharani protects from all dangers. It has the pure qualities of liberation. It will tie down cruel people; it takes fear away. It saves the devout from all harms caused by evils. It protects him by tying down lions, tigers, leopard, wolves, monkeys, gorillas and all other wild beasts.
I recite this Dharani for myself (the disciple)… and for my companion that all the power of Dharani to be directed to where we walk, stand, lie down or sit to make it safe. Then he recited the Dharani: “………………………………….”
Use this Dharani to pay homage to the Triple Jewels. This brings great goodness if properly done. Prior to reciting, one should bathe and put on new or clean clothes; one should be calm, abstain from sex, meat, the five spices, alcohol and refrain from saying cruel words. When reciting the Dharani, tie a knot on a white thread. Do seven knots. When this is completed, attach this knotted thread to the clothing of your opponent. This will protect you from accusations, curses or lawsuits, as well as any other troubles. Afterward, one should burn incense, abstain from meat, observe the precepts and make offerings to pray to the triple Jewels so to be worthy of their blessings. Undo the knots and pray: May all living beings in the four stages of birth and I be safe forever from the eight kinds of dangers. This is the wish from my heart.
Then he recited the Dharani: “……………”
followed by this prayer:
I bow down to all past, future and present permanent triple Jewels, to all solemn King Buddha with ocean like wisdom shining forth, to all Buddhas of Right knowledge, to the compassionate Saint of Salvation Avalokistesvara and to all great Bodhisattvas: Mansjuri Boddhisattava, Samantabhadra, Maitreya, Qi` Yin Gai, Ji Gen, Hui shang, Chang Bu li shi, Shurangama samadhi, Akasagarbha Bodhisattva, Precious Pennant Bodhisattva, The peacock King Dharani, The six Holy Bija, Bhaiwajya-raja (medicine King) Bhaisajya samudgata (superior medicine) Drdhadhyasaya (Firm Will) and Immaculate Virtues Boddhisattva.
One should call upon all the enlightened saints to take refuge in them. Then he recited the Dharani: “…………….”

This Dharani expels darkness. Buddha has transmitted this Dharani which is respected by celestial beings and benevolent Gods; by Brahmadeva who lectures on it, by Sakra Devanam Indra who worships and uses it to support this world, by Saints who understands it thoroughly and by the Immortals who recite it. This Dharani unites generations between families, unties all bindings and sorrows for celestial beings as well as humans. It ends all troubles, subdues all ghosts, converts the infidels and breaks vanity and arrogance. It helps the Dharma masters win all debates; it develops good roots in them and calms their mind. It makes their studying the doctrine enjoyable. It helps them preserve the Sutras and stay close to the general population. The profound store of doctrines has compassion for all living beings and benefits the triple jewels. It is solemn by popular understanding. Due to such great benefits it is called “Infinite Store of Dharani Scriptures”. The Dharani does not assist but constantly assists. If anyone recites or copy it down or if he advises another person to copy it, or to just offer flowers to the Dharma Sutra, he would not have the thirty-two kinds of fears. One should bathe in the morning and evening, rinse the mouth, wash the hands and put on clean clothing. One should burn incenses and respectfully bow down to pay homage and recite the Dharani three times. This secures whatever one does to be successful, everything one says to be respected, and every direction one goes to be favorable. The practitioner has the respect and trust of everybody, including his enemies. Ananda and others must sincerely worship and recite this Dharani. Upon this teaching, heaven Dragons and the eightfold division of Atulas felt immense joy. They paid respect to the Buddhas and departed.
