Esoteric Dhāraṇī Method of the Three Siddhi for Destroying Hells, Transforming Karmic Obstructions, and Transcending the Three Realms by 善無畏 (Śubhakarasiṃha, 譯)
About the work
A one-fascicle Esoteric dhāraṇī-ritual text attributed to Śubhakarasiṃha (善無畏). The title encodes the soteriological function: the three siddhi-attainments are achieved through dhāraṇī-recitation that (i) destroys the hells, (ii) transforms karmic obstructions, and (iii) transcends the three realms (kāma-, rūpa-, ārūpya-dhātu).
Abstract
The text presents an Esoteric dhāraṇī-cum-sādhana practice oriented to soteriological transformation — the dhāraṇī-practice as the means of breaking through the karmic conditioning of saṃsāra and attaining the three siddhi of pacification (śāntika), augmentation (pauṣṭika), and transcendence (lokottara / out-of-the-three-realms). The work is one of three Śubhakarasiṃha-attributed Esoteric dhāraṇī-rituals on this theme (KR6j0076–KR6j0078), each presenting a slightly different framework.
The translation dates from Śubhakarasiṃha’s Chángān period (716–735).
