The Dharani Sutra of The Buddha on Longevity, The Extinction of Offences and The Protection of Young Children: 7 of 33

“Confusion, let me tell you. In the future World of Five Turbidities, if there are people who kill the father, harm the mother, who purposely abort the fetus, who destroy The Buddha’s Pagoda and Temple …”

“Who shed The Buddha’s bloods, who create disharmony among The Sangha and others, they have created the five unwholesome deep offences and will surely fall into the Uninterrupted Hell to suffer the acute torments.”

“If these beings who have committed the five unwholesome offences are able to accept, upload this Sutra of Longevity and The Extinction of Offences, to write it down, read and memorize it or copy it down by themselves, or ask others to copy the Sutra, they will be able to put an end to their offences and be born in the Brahman Heaven to enjoy the heavenly blessing.”

“Isn’t that a better chance for you to extinguish your evil karma as you are able to meet me personally presently? Luckily you have already cultivated lots of good roots in innumerable long kalpas ago. In addition your are eloquent in asking question besides repenting and reforming sincerely.”

“So, not long from now, you will be able to turn the Unsurpassed Dharma Wheel and cross over limitless great seas of birth and death. You will be able to fight against the Heavenly Demon Bo-Xun and destroy the Banner of Victory which was erected by him. You should listen wholeheartedly. I will teach you once the Twelve Conditioned Links of Causation which was taught by The Buddhas in the past.”

“All the living beings are originally pure. But because of the arising of a single false thought out of delusion in the past, it leads to the creation of activities. Because of activities, there create karmic forces and hence lead to the arising of consciousness to enter the womb. The consciousness that enters the womb will lead to the formation of a fetus presently. When there is a fetus, it is then complete with the six roots such as eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind.”

“After leaving the womb, the six roots will experience the six sense of touch. The six senses of touch will give rise to six kinds of feelings. When there is feeling, love will arise. When there is love, the feeling of attachment will arise. Once there is attachment, a man will try to fight to possess. When there is fighting for possession, it will give rise to future karmic causes.”

“When there are the future karmic causes, a man will experience birth in future. When there is birth, it will naturally lead to the process of old age and death, and also all the worries, sorrows, sufferings and torments. This is known as the Door which is in accordance to the production of Twelve Conditioned Links of Causation.”

“If there is no false thought because of delusion, then where will activities and karmic deeds arise? If there is no activity and karmic deeds, where will there be the entering of womb by consciousness? When there is no consciousness to enter the womb, where then will it give rise to a fetus, the form of a body?”

“When there is no form body, the six roots will not exist. When there is no six roots, there will have nobody to experience the six kinds of senses of touch. When there is no senses of touch, there will have no feeling.”

“When there is no feeling, there is no love. Without love, attachment to possession will not arise. When there is no attachment to possession, there is no more karmic causes for future birth …”

“When there is no karmic causes for the future birth, there is no more birth in future. Without birth, there is also no old age and death. And the worries, sorrows, sufferings and torments will not follow. This is the Door of Reversal and Extinction of the Twelve Conditioned Links of Causation.”
