Yīqiè mìmì zuìshàng míngyì dàjiàowáng yíguǐ 一切祕密最上名義大教王儀軌
Ritual Manual of the Highest-Esoteric Great-Teaching-King of All Secret Names and Meanings by 施護 (Dānapāla, 譯)
About the work
A two-fascicle Sòng-period Esoteric ritual manual translated by Dānapāla (施護). The text gives the yíguǐ (ritual procedure) for the deity-system of the Highest-Esoteric Great-Teaching-King doctrine, with the principal mantras and their míngyì (names-and-meanings).
Abstract
The work is a working Esoteric ritual manual paired with KR6j0055 (the Wúèr píngděng zuìshàng yújiā dàjiàowáng jīng) — a yíguǐ (ritual codification) accompanying the doctrinal yoga-uttara-tantra scripture. The two-fascicle structure covers preparatory rites and central sādhana sequence.
The translation dates from Dānapāla’s career at the Sòng Yìjīngyuàn (982–1017).
