What did you want to know?
You can find the original Chinese here: http://buddhism.lib.ntu.edu.tw/BDLM/sut ... 7n0829.pdf
That is one version by Divakara, an eminent Indian monk of the Tang period. There are two other recensions, one of which was translated into English by Rulu here: http://www.buddhamountain.ca/ENT0830.php

That Buddha mountain site has a whole section dedicated to naturally appearing Buddha images in Canada. The thing is I can't see any of the Buddhas in the mountains. Can anyone else?

Thanks a lot! At least there is an English version for me to understand.

Is there a difference between reciting in English and Chinese?

You're welcome.

I would say that, if you have faith, then there is no difference. After all, it was originally translated into Chinese from an Indian language.
