The Method of Single-Mudra Recitation of the Heart Mantra of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva is a Buddhist tantric scripture translated by the renowned Tang Dynasty esoteric master Amoghavajra, belonging to the important literature of esoteric Buddhist practice methods. Amoghavajra, one of the Three Great Masters of the Kaiyuan era, promoted the flourishing of Tang Dynasty esoteric Buddhism through his translation activities. This sutra primarily elucidates the methods for reciting the heart mantra of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva and the single-mudra practice, emphasizing that through cultivation combining specific mantras with hand gestures, one may swiftly accomplish compassion and wisdom while eliminating karmic obstacles. Its contents include secret mantra dharani, visualization rituals, and stages of realization, embodying the core esoteric teaching of attaining Buddhahood in this very body. This sutra holds a significant position within Chinese esoteric Buddhism and serves as a key text for studying the practical cultivation system of Tang Dynasty esoteric Buddhism and the Avalokiteśvara practice methods, remaining widely practiced by Buddhists to this day.
