The Sutra on Mantras for Seasonal Epidemics Spoken by the Buddha, translated by the Western Regions monk Dharmaratna of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is an early Esoteric Buddhist scripture. Emerging in a historical context of limited medical resources during the medieval period, it offers a religious solution for seasonal epidemic diseases, or contagious illnesses. Its main content consists of dhāraṇī mantras proclaimed by the Buddha for treating and protecting against seasonal epidemics, along with detailed instructions on recitation, offerings, and the use of mantra-infused water to dispel suffering and illness. This sutra reflects Buddhism's profound concern for real-world suffering, integrating faith with healing. It serves as an important text for the study of Buddhist medicine, the early development of Esoteric Buddhism, and the tradition of social relief, holding a unique position among Buddhist medical scriptures.
