《大悲心陀罗尼经》云： “尔时。观世音菩萨从座而起。整理衣服。向佛合掌。白佛言。世尊.我有大悲心陀罗尼咒今当欲说。为诸众生得安乐故。除一切病故。得寿命故。得富饶故。灭除一切恶业重罪故。离障难故。增长一切白法诸功德故。成就一切诸善根故。远离一切诸怖畏故。速能满足一切诸希求故。惟愿世尊慈哀听许。”
After the Buddha said that, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva arose from his seat, tidied up his clothes, joined his palms towards the Buddha and said: "Bhagavan, I have a mantra of Great-Compassionate Heart Dharani and now wish to proclaim it, for comforting and pleasing all living beings; for healing all illness; for living beings to attain additional lifespan; for living beings to gain wealth; for extinguishing all evil karma and weighty sins; for keeping away from hindrance and disasters; for producing merits of all White (pure) Dharmas; for maturing all virtuous-roots; for overcoming all fears; for fulfilling all good wishes. Bhagavan, please be merciful and allow me to speak."

    佛告阿难。如是神咒有种种名。一名广大圆满。一名无碍大悲。一名救苦陀罗尼。一名延寿陀罗尼。一名灭恶趣陀罗尼。一名破恶业障陀罗尼。一名满愿陀罗尼。一名随心自在陀罗尼。一名速超上地陀罗尼。如是受持。
The Buddha told Ananda: "This holy Mantra has many names, one of them is Vast, Great, Perfect, another is Unimpeded Great Compassion, another is Relieving Sufferings Dharani, another is Lengthening Life Dharani, another is Extinguishing Evil Destinies Dharani, another is Breaking Evil Karma Hindrances Dharani, another is Wish-Fulfilling Dharani, another is The Dharani Of The Freedom In Accord With The Heart, another is Quickly Exceeding The Upper Stages Dharani. Thus should you accept and hold it."
