The Esoteric Essential Arts Dharma (Amogha) is a Buddhist Tantric scripture translated during the Tang Dynasty. This sutra was translated by the eminent monk Amoghavajra of the Tang Dynasty and belongs to the category of Tantric dhāraṇī scriptures. Its content primarily expounds the practice rituals and secret mantras of the Amogha method, involving esoteric practices such as abhiṣeka, pūjā offerings, and recitation, aiming to accomplish spiritual goals such as pacifying calamities and increasing merits through specific ceremonies and incantations. This scripture reflects the systematic introduction and translation of Indian Tantric texts during the flourishing period of Tang Dynasty Tantrism, serving as an important document for studying the development history of Chinese Tantric Buddhism and the practice system of Tang Tantra, holding a unique position within the transmission of esoteric methods in Chinese Buddhism.


祕密要術法
三藏阿謨伽詔譯。
二手普通合掌當胸間真言曰:
􇩴是神呪不可思議,不過七返,一切所求願皆悉決定圓滿。復斷元品無明階妙覺位,凡諸佛菩薩種種神呪法,持者悉地不成就類。修行此法者,彼一切悉地速疾成就獲得。復次說畫作像并曼荼羅法。建立三重內院愛王,其形四面有,每面五目,所謂額一目,左右本目下各一目。首戴寶冠,髮如火焰,身色白色少青色。有四臂,左一手持弓上空,右一手持箭當胸間,令為射七星相也。左二手令取彼,右二手持白蓮華打彼勢也。有四足,左二足上置,右二足下垂踏入蓮華。凡坐白蓮華住日輪,彼座下有四面師子,四足下各蹈蛇,其師子從口雨如意寶珠逆上。次中院兩頭染愛菩薩,其形兩頭左白右赤。有四臂,左右一手作刀印,次左右作持三𦙶鉾,坐赤蓮華住日輪,是名東方為眾。復有萬愛菩薩,其形三面三目,柔軟白肉色,合掌坐白蓮華住日輪,是南方為眾。復有萬愛菩薩,其形一面赤黑色,持弓箭坐黃蓮住日輪,是名西方為眾。復有萬德菩薩,其形如吉祥天女,左右持髑髏,坐紫蓮華,住日輪,是名北方為眾。大天王有四角,所謂東南角提頭賴吒天王,其形青色,有三面,如藥叉王,身著甲冑,有四臂,左一手持鐸,右一手持刀,下二手合掌,乘青龍。西南角毗盧勒叉天王,其形赤色,有四面三目,如藥叉王,身如前,有六臂,左一手持刀,右鉾,左二手持蛇,右二手持棒,下左右合掌垂,乘赤龍。西北角毗盧博叉王,其形白色,一面著鎧,三目四臂,每手持釰,身如前,乘白龍。東北角毗沙門天王,黑色,一面十臂,如吽迦野法,第三院四攝八供養菩薩,如常可畵作并得。凡此法,最後祕密法也。不入室弟子者,努力努力,不可傳授,授必無法機,不傳蒙災難,得大貧窮果報,後世必墮阿鼻城。由此任力師奉,仕必必可,有受必可,取下畵書。是不得者,二世無益也。次第作法,如虗空藏法,次第猶猶,不可思儀法,不生疑心。
寫本主 傳領親玄。
地藏院僧正聖快持本,遍智院成,僧正自筆,座主御書寫,次被借渡之,仍卒爾寫留也。是􄗽􄑘萬荼羅紙形等有之,據之書歟?
于時應永二十一九下旬。
