The *Essence of Cundī Practice*, composed by the lay Buddhist Shi Yaoting of the Ming Dynasty, is an essential text expounding the practice of the Cundī Dharma. Compiled during the Ming period, this work integrates Han Chinese Buddhist and esoteric traditions, systematically discussing the ritual procedures, mantra recitation, and visualization methods related to the Bodhisattva Cundī. It emphasizes achieving liberation through the union of the three mysteries—body, speech, and mind. As a key scripture of the Cundī Dharma, this text exerted profound influence within Ming and Qing Buddhism, offering practitioners a concise and practical guide. To this day, it remains revered by Han Chinese Buddhists as one of the core texts for cultivating the Cundī Dharma, embodying the harmonious fusion of exoteric and esoteric Buddhist teachings.


寶像記
準提佛母寶像。有無量光明。相好身黃白色。結趺跏坐。上衣下裳皆白縠花紋者。體掛瓔珞。胸生卍字。綬帶繫腰。朝霞絡身。手腕白螺為釧。臂上七寶為釧。兩耳懸寶鐺。眾指著指環。首戴花冠。冠上化現五如來。面上三目。目色澄清。有下視眾生。生悲愍意。全身十八手臂。上兩手作說法相(或作結准提印)。第二手左執如意幢右施無畏。第三手左執紅蓮花右執劒。第四手左執澡罐(一作灌澡瓶)右執摩尼數珠(一作執寶鬘)。第五手左執金剛索右執徵若布羅迦菓(漢言子滿菓此間無西國有)。第六手左執輪右執鉞斧。第七手左執法螺(一名商佉)右執鈎。第八手左執賢瓶(一名如意瓶)右執拔折羅(一名金剛杵)。第九手左執般若波羅蜜經右執寶鬘(一作執數珠)。坐蓮花上。花下有二龍王擁護。此寶像大略也。若持誦行者。欲想出寶像。應作如是觀。不能作如是觀者。隨意所便。諦觀一物(十八臂所執法物)。則念慮誠一。雜妄不生。是謂意密。加以誦呪口密。結印身密。是謂三密相應。上根持誦方能有此。久不間斷則獲福廣大。即於此生得進菩提矣。癸丑年九日記。
今世所傳寶像十八臂中法物彼此互異。堯挺詳攷經懺遺文。參酌至當。援筆記之。使後之觀想者知所據。即作像者亦知所準云。
