Ruíxīyē jīng 蕤呬耶經
Sūtra of the Vehicle (Skt. Guhya-tantra? — title transliteration uncertain) by 不空 (Amoghavajra, 譯)
About the work
A three-fascicle Esoteric scripture translated by Amoghavajra (不空) — the title Ruíxīyē 蕤呬耶 transliterates a Sanskrit term whose precise identification has been debated; suggestions include Guhya (esoteric / secret) or a related Sanskrit term meaning “vehicle” or “carrier”. The text is one of Amoghavajra’s substantial Esoteric translations and is preserved in the standard Tang Esoteric corpus.
Abstract
The text presents an Esoteric ritual-scriptural framework consistent with the Tang Esoteric kriyā / caryā-tantra horizon. The three fascicles cover the doctrinal framework, the abhiṣeka sequences, and the sādhana prescriptions for the principal deities of the text’s mandalic system.
The translation dates from Amoghavajra’s mature Chángān period (746–774).
