"Wherever this sutra circulates or wherever
there are sentient beings who hold fast to the name of the Medicine Buddha
[Yakushi Buddha] and respectfully make offerings to him, whether in villages,
towns, kingdoms or in the wilderness, we [the Twelve Generals] will all protect
them. We will release them from all suffering and calamities and see to it that
all their wishes are fulfilled." (Source: Wikipedia)
