Sūtra of the Broad-Collection of Dhāraṇīs of the Great-Buddha-Crown (translator unknown 失譯)
About the work
A four-fascicle anonymous Esoteric dhāraṇī compendium under the Buddha-Crown (fódǐng 佛頂 / Buddhoṣṇīṣa) family. The text presents a systematic collection of dhāraṇīs associated with the Buddha-Crown / uṣṇīṣa cult — the worship of the Buddha’s cranial protuberance as the seat of cosmic-protective power.
Abstract
The guǎngjù (“broad-collection”) indicates a comprehensive collection of Buddhoṣṇīṣa-class dhāraṇīs including the Sitātapatra-, Uṣṇīṣavijaya-, and other Buddha-Crown dhāraṇīs. The text is anonymously transmitted and conventionally dated to the late Táng to Sòng period.
