Noble bhikshus, bhiksunis, upasakas, and upasikas with the great faith may built a stupa,

中。
SHU CE TUO LUO NI JU ZHI YU TA ZHONG

then write this dharani and put it inside the stupa.

便 異。
BIAN DE JU ZHU ZAO BAI QIAN TA SHU SHENG GONG DE WU YI

The merit that they achieve can be equalled as building hundred thousand stupas ? without even a little difference.?

會。

行。
WEN FO SUO SHUO HUAN XI FENG XING

After Buddha taught [this Dharma], the bhikshus, bhiksunis, gods, dragons, and eight groups of beings, who heard it were very elated. They believe in it all heartedly, receive, and practice it.
