三種悉地破地獄轉業障出三界祕密陀羅尼法

Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: Secret Dhāraṇī Method of Three Attainments which Destroy Hell and Reverse Karmic Hindrances in the Three Worlds

Senses:

  • The Sanzhong xidi podiyu zhuan yezhang chu sanjie mimi tuoluonifa. 1 fasc. (T 905.18.909–912), attributed to Śubhakarasiṃha 善無畏. Includes passages correlating the five syllables 五字 and five families 五部 of Buddhist esotericism with the Daoist theory of five agents 五行說, and has been widely cited as a Chinese-sponsored example of Sino-Indian syncretic Thought. However, evidence presented by Chen (1998) suggests this is the first of three apocrypha (T 905, 906, 907) fabricated in the inner circles of Japanese Tendai 台密, perhaps by Annen 安然, to bolster the esoteric credentials of Saichō 最澄.
