Mantra Ritual Manual of the Three Siddhi and the Three-Body Buddhahood: the Buddha-Crown Victorious-Heart Esoteric Practice for Destroying Hells, Transforming Karmic Obstructions, and Transcending the Three Realms by 善無畏 (Śubhakarasiṃha, 譯)
About the work
A one-fascicle Esoteric ritual manual attributed to Śubhakarasiṃha (善無畏), part of the soteriological-transformative dhāraṇī sub-corpus (alongside KR6j0076 and KR6j0078). The title centres on the Uṣṇīṣa-vijaya (Fódǐng zūnshèng 佛頂尊勝 — the “Buddha-Crown Victorious”) dhāraṇī — one of the most popular and widely-recited Buddhist dhāraṇīs in East Asian Buddhism, with the standard Tang translations attributed to multiple translators (T967 by Buddhapāla, T968 by Dìpóhēluó/Divākara, T969 by Yìjìng, etc.).
Abstract
The text presents the Uṣṇīṣa-vijaya-dhāraṇī practice in an Esoteric framework integrating it with the doctrine of the three-body Buddha-fruit (sānshēn fóguǒ 三身佛果 — trikāya: dharmakāya, saṃbhogakāya, nirmāṇakāya) and the three-fold siddhi. The Uṣṇīṣa-vijaya-dhāraṇī is here presented as the central mantra of the practice, with associated mudrā, visualisation, and ritual sequences.
The translation dates from Śubhakarasiṃha’s Chángān period (716–735).
