Sūtra-Ritual of Esoteric-Accomplishment at Indra’s Cliff by 施護 Shīhù (Dānapāla, 譯)
About the work
A one-fascicle Sòng-period Esoteric ritual manual by Dānapāla (施護) on a practice associated with Indra’s Cliff (Dìshìyán 帝釋巖 — Skt. Indraśailaguhā, the famous cliff-cave near Rājagṛha where Indra is said to have visited the Buddha and asked the questions of the Sakkapañha-suttanta).
Abstract
The text gives an Esoteric ritual practice associated with the Indra’s Cliff site — likely a sādhana invoking Indra and the cosmic-protective deities of the eastern direction in the Vajradhātu mandala. The translation dates from Dānapāla’s Yìjīngyuàn period (985–1017).
