The Dharani Sutra of The Buddha on Longevity, The Extinction of Offences and The Protection of Young Children: 28 of 33

“Moreover, Manjushri! After my extinction, in the Evil World of Five Turbidities, if there is a living being who has to represent the country to go to another country with the order of the King, or who has to seek for treasures and wealth so as to fulfill the wishes and instructions of his parents. He may have to go through dangerous path and cross over the deep sea to carry out the business affairs.”

“And after such a man has obtained lots of wealth and benefits, he becomes proud, arrogant and stubborn. He practices all evil deeds such as playing the chess, gambling and dancing. He will make friends with the evil men and spend his money on prostitutes.”

“As he does not follow the order of the King, neither does he listen to the teaching and advice of the parents, he will lose his life finally for spending too much time in drinking and seeking the companion of beautiful women.”

“Or at times he may be lucky enough to stay alive with a little more treasure and wealth. But because of drinking, his mind gets confused and so he is unable to differentiate the safety of the roads. Finally he will enter the dangerous path and be robbed by the evil robbers. He will then be killed.”

“But if he is able to write down this Sutra, to widely bring forth the deep vows, then wherever he dwells, the evil robbers will not come forth. All evil animals will be unable to harm him. His mind is blissful and so the body is naturally calm at ease. His wealth and jewels will always be with him. With the strength of the Sutra and Mantra, he will obtain a long lifespan.”
