Essential-Abridged Recitation Method of the Golden-Wheel-King Buddha-Crown by 不空 Bùkōng (Amoghavajra, 譯)
About the work
A one-fascicle Esoteric ritual manual by Amoghavajra (不空) for the Golden-Wheel-King Buddha-Crown (Jīnlún wáng fódǐng — Skt. Suvarṇacakrarāja-buddhoṣṇīṣa) practice — a particular Buddha-Crown / uṣṇīṣa deity associated with the cosmic cakravartin-imperial iconography.
Abstract
The text gives the abridged daily-practice recitation method for the Golden-Wheel-King Buddha-Crown — the cosmic-imperial form of the Buddha-Crown deity. Like other yàolüè (essential-abridged) ritual manuals, it provides a portable daily-practice form of the longer Esoteric sādhana. The composition dates from Amoghavajra’s mature Cháng’ān period (746–774).
