This prayer was spoken by Dharmakaya Infinite Appearance Himself. It is called the Description of the Great Blissful Buddhafield of the Mahayana tradition.

Whoever writes this prayer in gold will be born for one hundred thousand kalpas in the Great Blissful Buddhafield.

Whoever writes this prayer in silver will be born for one thousand kalpas in the Great Blissful Buddha field.

Whoever writes this prayer in vermillion will be born for one hundred kalpas in the Great Blissful Buddhafield.

It is said that it is the nectar of Dharma, the essence of absolute truth. It is the king of confession. It will purify the sins of killing a hundred human beings, a hundred horses, a hundred snakes, a hundred dogs, a hundred cows, a hundred fish, a hundred pigs, a hundred calves, and so on. It also purifies the sins of breaking oaths, poisoning, tricking, breaking vows, killing teachers and the ten non-virtuous actions. Whatever you have done, by writing this or praying this, it will be purified. If sinful persons read this prayer thrice, there is no doubt that they will be reborn in the Great Blissful Buddhafield. Whoever reads, writes or keeps this prayer will not have illness or untimely death. Their wishes will be fulfilled and they will have prosperity.
