Yàoshī rúlái niànsòng yíguǐ 藥師如來念誦儀軌 (recension B)

Recitation Ritual Manual for the Medicine-Master Tathāgata (recension B) by 不空 (Amoghavajra, 譯)

About the work

The parallel recension B to KR6j0094 (T924A) — the alternate Amoghavajra recension of the Bhaiṣajyaguru ritual manual.

Abstract

T924B preserves a parallel arrangement of the same Tang Esoteric Bhaiṣajyaguru ritual material as T924A, with editorial differences in the specific mudrā-mantra prescriptions. Both recensions remain canonical and were preserved through the manuscript transmission as legitimate variant traditions.

The composition dates from Amoghavajra’s mature Chángān period (746–774).
