 The Amoghapasahrdaya-dharani
The Early Sanskrit Manuscript
of the Reiunji
Critically Edited and Translated

By R. 0. Meisezahl, Bonn

Preface
Amoghapa?a Avalokite?vara (Fukii-kenjaku-kannona in Japanese) is one
of the six forms of the Bodhisattva Avalokite?vara, who out of compassion
wishes to save suffering beings through his various incarnations. The
worship of this Bodhisattva was very strong in ancient Japan. He protects
living beings by means of his rope of compassion and has their wishes
fulfilled. This is why he is called " The Bodhisattva with the 'Unfailing
Rope' (Amoghapa?a) ".
This Bodhisattva owes his existence to the rise of the Diamond
Vehicle (Vajrayana) in India and is mentioned and explained in various
works of Esoteric Buddhism. His image with one face and six arms was
found at Mathura, and another picture of the same form at the " Cave
of Thousand Buddhas " at Tung-huangb. His images have been preserved
in Japan at the Todaiji, Daianji and K6fukujic in Nara, the K6ryujid in
Kyoto, the Kanzeonjie in Fukuoka Prefecture, and at other places.
No visitor to Nara will ever miss the world-famous Great Buddha in
the Main Hall of the T6daiji. This temple goes back to the Kenjaku-inf
(lit. the Amoghapa?a Chapel) built by Bishop R6beng in A. D. 733. The
Kenjaku-in, which is now known under the names of Konsh6jih, Sangatsudci
or Hokked( J, was later developed into the T6daiji by order of Emperor
Shomuk.

The central image of the Hokkedo is a representation of Amoghapa?a.

It is a grandiose artistic masterpiece, 13 feet high, with a vivid counte-
nance and thick and round cheeks. Realistically carved and painted with
lacquer, it plays a great role in the history of Japanese sculpture. The
statue has three eyes and eight arms, which means that the todhisattva
intends to save as many suffering beings as possible. It is believed that
the statue was made about the year 784, and therefore is the most
ancient statue extant of the Bodhisattva in this form.
Formerly a huge picture scroll of cloth representing Amoghapasa was
hanging in the Hall of the Great Buddha of the T6daiji. The figure of
the Bodhisattva was 35 feet high and 25 feet wide. It had been made
by order of Empress Kokena to console the late Empress Dowager Komyob,
her mother, who seems to have been a worshipper of Amoghapa?a.
Also in documents of the Heian and Kamakura periods we can trace
the worship of this Bodhisattva. It was especially practised by the
Fujiwara clan, which was the most powerful noble family in the Heian
period. The image in the Nan'endoc Chapel of the Kofukuji in Nara,
which was hereditarily the temple of the Fujiwara clan, has three eyes
and eight arms.
Esoteric Buddhism introduced the worship of the Bodhisattva in this
form into its Mandala. Kobo Daishid, the founder of Japanese Esoteric
Buddhism, as well as the priests of the Tendaie sect on Mount Hieif are
said to have practised this worship, which declined only during the
Tokugawa period.
The magical formula chanted by Buddhists when they worshipped the
Bodhisattva in this form was the Amnoghapasahrdaya-dharanw. Through
collation of various manuscripts Dr. Meisezahl was able to establish the
text of this formula to which he added an English translation. Publication
of the text and translation will certainly help to a deeper understanding
of Japanese Buddhism.

Introduction

1. Plan of the Amoghapasahrdaya Mahayana-suitra

The Amoghapas'akalparaja, the bulky Amoghapasa-Ritual, is a
masterpiece of the Mahayanistic Tantra literature. The Tantra, whether
Hindu or Buddhist, has to be regarded as an independentreligious literature
which utilised relevant philosophical doctrines, but whose origin cannot be
traced in any system or systems of philosophy; it consists essentially of
religious methods and practices which were current in India from times

immemorial,' and has got a vast literature in Sanskrit as well as in other

Indian vernaculars, right from the Vedic times to the present day. It has
been the most neglected branch of study which deserves to be thoroughly
investigated.
Some years ago my interest was aroused by finding short Dharanw and
Hrdaya texts in the Taisho Issaikyoa in a work known as the Fuku-
kenjakujimpenshingon-kyob (*Amoghapasapratiharyadharani-satra), the
Chinese version of the Amoghapas'akalparaja2 translated in the short interval
707-709 (sic) by Bodhiruci. The Indian characters in so-called Siddham
script, are arranged in vertical columns in the Chinese manner beginning
on the right-hand side of page 232 (Vol. 20), each column running from
top to bottom. The initial difficulties in reading them were lessened by
the consultation of the alphabetic and syllabic tables found in Jogon'sc
masterly written Shittan Sanmitsu-sho3 which evidently were modelled on
older similar tables current in India. I devoted myself to its study as I
was fortunate enough to have, by courtesy of Prof. Hajime Nakamurac,
Chairman of the Department of Indian and Buddhist Philosophy, Tokyo
University, a further printed reproduction of the Reiunji manuscript also
written in vertical columns, but commented in Japanese. The interlinear
Chinese translation which is based on the Chinese version Fukakenjaku-
daranigiki-kyo ( Amoghapas'adharanikalpa-satra)4, written in 659 by
Amoghavajra, was very helpful. Some variant readings of Hsuan-tsange
and Bodhiruci are mentioned.
The second printed Japanese edition of the Amoghapasahrdaya-dharani
has as title Fukakenjakukanjizaibosatsushin'obo-daranif, and closes with
the following Mantras which are not traceable in the Chinese versions:
om Padmahasta Mahamoghapasasadhayasamayahrdayam cara cara huzm
om Padmahasta Amoghajayane curu curu svaha.
The colophon names as copyist Rentaig (1666-1734). The text was
written by him on 15 November, 1718, at Kyukazan Jizojih, a temple in
the Kawachii district, now Osaka prefecture. Rentai, a disciple of the
famous Sanskrit scholar, Jogon, became the second Abbot of the Reiunji
which had been founded by Jogon. The Reiunji (School: Shin'an-ryu i )
was burnt during the second world war. The copyright is preserved by
the Kyukazan Jizojij.5

The Tantric literature occupies so prominent a place in Mahayana

Buddhism, that any slight contribution which deals with its literary
creations is always an interesting study. The Tantric texts with their
special significance and the social conditions under which they were
produced in India, seem very remote from the life of to-day; a point of
contact is therefore difficult to establish. Dasgupta, op. cit. p. 63, is of
the opinion that with the rise of Mahayana with its pledge for delivering all
the beings higher or lower, meritorious or vicious, the Mantra, the Mudra,
Mandala and such other popular religious practices began to make their
way into Buddhism. The Mahayanist preachers could not do without the
common people and for them they had to condescend from the prescription
of strict ethico-religious practices to the sanction of Mantra, Mudra, etc.
The Amoghapas'akalparaja, a stupendous volume consisting of 26
chapters, could hardly be expected to be read and mastered by any simple
follower; it was therefore absolutely necessary to shorten the bulky
Kalparaja text by publishing only the first chapter which became known
as the Amoghapas'ahrdaya Mahayana-sutra. This Satra is divided into
three constituent parts:
I. The narrative part in the form of a dialogue between the Bhagavant
(=the Buddha)and the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara on the Potalakamountain,
the residence of the Bodhisattva. Avalokitesvara requests the permission
to recite the Hrdaya entitled Amoghapas'a which was required by him from
Tathagata Lokendraraja during the 91th phase of the world's history named
Vilokita. He describes that the recital of this Hrdaya text is capable of
producing infinite merit in the reciters and of conferring immense benefit on
them.
Materia medica is here found as the Hrdaya is definitely prescribed to
counteract physical disorders of every sort. Specific fevers and a great
number of diseases recover perfectly with no other treatment than careful
reciting of the Hrdaya.
II. Avalokitesvara recites the Dharani6 text beginning with a scala of
Namaskaras in honour of the Buddhas of the Three Times (past, present,
future) and to all the Bodhisattvas, etc. Then follows after a short preface
the Hrdaya (rarely called Vidya), the particular mystic pith of the Satra,
with the introductory words tad yatha.
The Hrdaya consists of different Mantras, viz. Sams'odhanamantra,
Vighnotsaranamantra,Devatasams'odhanamantra,Tathagatasams'odhanaman-
tra, Nives'anamantra, Akarsanamantra, Devatalaksanamantra, Sadhakasya-
nives'anamantra,Saptaparivaramantra.
III. In this part is given a description how the magic line of demarcation
is drawn by the practitioner (sadhaka) as protection against evil, and the
way in which the Sadhaka should, while entering it, practice the Hrdaya, and
of the powers appearing as a result thereof. The special treatment of certain

6 The word dh&rani literally means that by which something is sustained

or kept up (dharyate anaya iti), i. e. the mystic text that has got the capacity of
keeping up the religious life of a man. Cf. Dasgupta, op. cit., p. 63.
 The Amoghapasahrdaya-dharan. 269

diseases proves that the usual practice which seems to have its origin in the
hoary past, has not been to assign to drugs only a subordinateplace, perhaps
their effectiveness was only empirically known.
A pratima rite closes the Tantric ritual.
The Amoghapas'ahrdayaMahayanadharanz is a Kriyatantra and, there-
fore, above all a practical gastra primarilyconcerned with action (kriya). Re-
specting its rational, all-embracing subject, Mantras of this Hrdaya are also
prescribed for spiritual advance. The defence for the Mantrayanadoctrines
of ethics and metaphysics is not very lucid and impressive.
The Mantras are strings of meaningful and meaningless charm-words
(mantrapada) with a distinct sound effect; a i and u are the prevailing vowel
sounds. The meaningless forms perhaps contain traces of a language now
defunct, but they are rare and of sporadic character, except the Upahrdaya-
mantra and the closing Mantras. Compare the enigmatic etata in the Akar-
sanamantra.
In the Amoghapas'ahrdaya,the Mantras in general end with an epithet
of the Buddha and the closing sv&h&. Only the Nives'anamantranames the
Buddha Mahasthamaprapta, but a long string of Hindu deities is found in
some Mantras (e. g. Devatalaksanamantra). The names of the Buddha Sakya-
muni or of the former and future Buddhas occur in the opening invocations.
The monosyllabic and dissylabic, in occasional cases also the trisyllabic,
charm-words are very often uttered twice, in order to intensify their Mantric
effect. A decided preference is given to the dissyllabic forms which are more
or less clearly derivative; their formative process is regular and transparent.
Their ritualistic mood is the 2nd. sing. imperative act. It signifies a command
of the speaker, but shades off into a demand, an exhortation, an entreaty, an
expression of earnest desire. Examples are the following: ehi (/ 1, to go);
cala, vicala, ands amcala (v/ cal, to stir, be agitated); jaya (Vji, to con-
quer, subdue); jvala (/ J7val, to burn, flame); tapa (*.-tap, to shine, be
bright); dama (*.-dam, to control, subdue); dhama (V/-dham, to blow);
dhava (7I/dhav, to run, clean); bhasa (V.I/bhas,to shine, fill with splendour);
bhrama (%h-bhram,to wander); muflca (V/-muc, to release, set free); raksa
(V/-raks, to protect), and hara (V-hr, to carry away, destroy). The use
of vocal variants, as dhiri and dhuru from dhara (V/-dhr, to hold, bear,
wear) and analogous formations show a further intensification of the charm-
word. Each of them retains the syllabic identity in accordanceto its original
form. It may be possible that the repetition of a charm-word and of its
variants is the most impressive way in which the magic force of a charm-word
can be intensified. Other examples are: kara (V-kr, to make, perform, rule),
kiri, kuru; kala (V/Ikal, to drive, produce), kili kulu; cara (*.-car, to move,
turn), ciri, curu; bhara (%h-bhr, to bear, maintain), bhiri, bhuru; mara
(V/-mr, to kill), miri, muru; sara (*-sr, to go, run), siri, suru. The con-
nection of a part of the imperatives with the assigned root is open to ques-
tion.

2. Manuscript Material
For various reasons, it was not always easy to procure the necessary
material from the libraries either in original or in photostat copies. The
270 R. 0. Meisezahl

old manuscript of the Amoghapasakalparaja belonging formerly to the

famous Sa-skya Monastery in upper gCafn (Tibet) and found by Rahula
Sanfskrtyayana during his journey in Tibet, 1929-1930,7 was not accessible
to the editor. In spite of his earnest efforts he could not succeed in get-
ting either the copy of the manuscript or even an extract of the colophon
from the Ministry of Education at Khatmandu. The library regulations
in Nepal prohibit the copying of manuscripts.
The Sanskrit text of the Amoghapasahrdaya M4ahayana-satra is
prepared from primary and ancillary sources.

A. Primary sources.
(aa) The manuscript abbreviatedhere P is a palm-leaf MS. collected
by C. Bendall and now kept in the Cambridge University Library (Or. Ms.
153). The old fragmentary text belongs to the MSS. not catalogued in
Bendall's Catalogue of the Buddhist Sanskrit MSS. in University Library,
Cambridge, published in 1883. The MS. bears no title.
This is the oldest manuscript of the work. It is very neatly written in
clear and regular hooked Nepalese characters. There is no evidence of the
date, as the closing part of the text is lost. I have thoroughly comparedthe
writing on the palm-leaf with the tables of Bendall, and in my opinion it can
belong to a period anterior to the 12th century A. D. The writing agrees with
that of Bendall's No. 1686 dated 1167, and No. 1691, dated 1179.
The measures are about 30. 5 x 5 cm. The manuscript has 7 leaves of 6
lines to a page. They are paginated on the right-hand margin, on the reverse
sides of the folia. The first leaf is only inscribed on the reverse side, the
others on both sides. The leaves are numbered 1, 2, 4-7; leaves 3 and 8 are
missing. The right upper corner of leaf 7 is gone, the lacuna invades the
second line. There are some worm-eaten places besides.
The text is uniformly correct. The language is standard Sanskrit with
clear traces of the Buddhist scholastic idiom of Northwestern India. It
gives nearly always correct readings, and is free from the usual orthographical
anomalies. It is for this reason that the editor has given preference to the
text of this manuscript against the evidence of the remaining five MSS. But
to return to the anomalies, there are first the irregularities of orthography:
dhapena (n for n), lavanodaka (n for n), nars'ana (n for d), nas'a, pras'rava
and s'zim (s' for s), asani and asoka (s for s'), aspada and prahasita (s for s),
avyakhyana (v for bh), prakhyalayitavya (kh for ks), mansa (n for m).
Next morphological irregularities: catuhsu (=catursu), trisk&la (=trikala),
trihsukla (=tris'ukla). Abnormal concord is worthy of mention: bhavane
aneka?, aftjayitva antarhito, va upasako, 'kale aksaya?, tasyagratah apatita?.

according to his fancy. A blundered case occurs on f. 2a5; the text ends
abruptly, and the scribe inserts a part of the Sutra previously overlooked.

Orthographicalirregularitiesare very frequent, as the confusion of sibilants
and semi-vowels and of linguals and palatals, e. g. pratisthasairendra? for

events of history. Fortunately for us, however, the majority of that

literature has been preserved in their translations into foreign languages,
such as Chinese and Tibetan, etc."1
The Amoghapasahrdaya text is one of those documents which
already in early Chinese Buddhism have fascinated generations of
scholars. The Taisho Issaikyo contains the following translations of the
Amoghapasa-nama-hrdaya Mahayana-siztra which are the oldest available
sources of information on Amoghapasa:

II. The Tibetan versions

(1) Amoghapasahrdaya Mahayana-siitra
The Mahayanistic canon (tripitaka) consists of three large collections of
writings, viz. the Vinayapitaka ('Dul ba'i sde snod), the Sutrapitaka (mDo
sde'i sde snod), and the Abhidharmapitaka (mNon pa'i sda snod). This
classification is given by the Abhidharmasamuccaya. No satisfactory explana-
tion for the origin of the literature of Tantric Buddhism as it is presented
to us by the Kanjur has ever been given by the Tibetan scholars. Bu ston
Rin chen grub (1290-1364), one of the greatest figures of Tibetan Buddhism,
has gathered the early historical materials. His critical and systematical
mind relied on the Sanskrit books. According to this great historian, the
teacher Ratnakara?anti says that the Tantric treatises form a part of the
Sutrapitaka because they communicate topics of profound meaning,13 but

Abhayakaragupta regards them as belonging to all the three Collectanea.

Aryadeva's system of considering the Collection of Tantric scriptures as a
fourth pitaka of sacred texts-the Vidyadharapitaka (Rig pa'i 'jin pa'i
sde snod)-stands midway between this system and the Kanjur.
Bu-ston's History of Buddhism, the Chos 'byun chen mo, ff. 172a2-
179a6, subdivides the Tantric literature in the following four Codices (sde):
I. Las rgyud (Kriyatantra), including six Tantra cycles:
1. 'Jam dpal gyi rgyud (Manjus'ritantra)
2. sPyan ras gzigs kyi rgyud (Avalokites'varatantra)
3. Phyag na rdo rje'i rgyud (Vajrap&nitantra)
4. Mi gyo ba'i rgyud (Acaltantra)
5. Rig pa'i Iha mo'i rgyud14 (Vidyadevitantra)
6. gCug tor gyi rgyud (Unzssatantra)
II. sPyod pa'i rgyud (Caryatantra)
III. rNal 'byor gyi rgyud (Yogatantra)
IV. rNal 'byor cehen po'i rgyud (Mahayogatantra), comprising the following
three Tantra cycles:
1. rNal 'byor cehen po thabs kyi rgyud, with the gSani ba 'dus pa'i skor
(Guhyasamaja)
2. rNal 'byor chen po bla na med pa s'es rab kyi rgyud (abbrev. Ses rab

(a) Kyai rdo rje'i skor (Hevajra cycle)
(b) bDe mcehog gi skor (Sambara cycle)
3. Thabs S'es rab gnis su med pa'i rgyud
The Arnoghpas'ahrdaya Mahayana-satra belongs to the Avalokitesvara
cycle of the Kriyatantra, and it is one of the 27 expository treatises
(akhyatatantra, Tib. bsad pa'i rgyud) on the basic text Padmajfalatantra.
The largest work of this class is the Amoghapas'akalpara-ja. The full text

There exist two different Tibetan versions, viz. an early translation
(rnini 'gyur) and a later translation (gsar 'gyur) of the Amoghapas'ahrdaya
Mahayana-sutra. During my several stays at Paris, I discovered two
Tun-huang s'og riu20 manuscripts of the first one. The two MSS. which
seem to have survived in an almost miraculous fashion the unending
incursions and pillages of many centuries, found their way into the hands
of the Bibliotheque Nationale, to enrich the magnificent collections of
Oriental MSS. They are catalogued in M. Lalou, Inventaire des Manu-

(Fonds Pelliot tibetain Nos. 1-849), under 49 and 105 (pp. 16, 35).
The dkar chag of IDan dkar, the oldest Tibetan catalogue of the
acanonical works, written by dPal brcegs and Nam mkha'i sfin po during
the reign of king Khri sron lde bean (730-785 A. D. )21 cites two *Amoghapas'a
texts, namely the Don yod zags pa'i rtogs pa chen po, *AmoghapdsamahFzj
kalpa, in 26 bam po (7. 800 slo ka), a version of the Kalparaja; the
second is registered as Don yod z'ags pa'i sftin po, Amoghapasiahrdaya,
in 130 slo ka. From the extent of the latter text and its Tibetan title, it
would appear that the Hrdaya text is identical with the Tun-huang
version of the Sutra.
It is difficult to derive any historical information from the two
Tibetan versions of the Amoghapzsahrdaya MahdyFzna-satra, as the texts
are not dated. I have, therefore, collated the Chinese versions and the
Cambridge palm-leaf manuscript with the two Tibetan texts. We may
retain:
(a) That the Tun-huang version, the so-called Amoghapascadharani,
is based on a very old Sanskrit recension of the Mahayana-siutra
since disappeared, and possibly belonging to a period anterior to the
9th century A. D., because the Hrdaya section has an intrinsic
similarity with the earlier texts in Chinese transliteration, and
with the fragmentary Sogdian version.22
(b) That the Kanjur version23 represents a Sanskrit MS. written
nearly in the same period as the Cambridge palm-leaf manuscript.
After a careful consideration of the two Tibetan versions, the Tun-
huang text is more destined to reveal the full scope of the original San-
skrit text. The translator has attempted to satisfy himself first as to the
Sanskrit's exact meaning, and then to express it (1) precisely, (2) with
lucidity, (3) worthily, (4) with a close adherence to the vocabulary and

syntax of the original as Tibetan language allows. It may be helpful for

the beginner, and of interest to the more advanced student, to take the
early Tunhuang version as a help to the understanding of the later
Kanjur version, whose language is not so clear and accurate.
(2) The Major and Minor Amoghapasahrdaya Mahayana-
dharani compared with the Reiunji Temple manuscript
and with the Stuttgart xylographs
It is strange that we learn only from the Tibetan sources that a major
Dharani text exists, the Satra being simply shortened by eliminating the
first part, the narrative one. No Tun-huang MS. of this recension is
found in the catalogued Pelliot and Stein MSS.
We have two versions of the major recension, viz. the gZuns-bsdus
and the Kanjur texts. The Hrdaya of the Paris gZuns-bsdus manuscript
is full of orthographical peculiarities. What is curious is that the Vidhi
part of the Dh&rani does not agree with the Vidhi of the Satra. For-
tunately, it was possible to compare the text with the Kanjur version.
For a comparative study of the Minor Amoghapasahrday Mahayana-
dharana, the editor could not make use of a Sanskrit original identical to
the Reiunji Ms. As this recension of the Dhdran! is a shortened text (the
narrative part and the Vidhi are wanting), he used the Sanskrit manuscript
of the Satra recension for collation, but this method was abandoned when
he discovered the Sanskrit text of the minor Dh&rant in Tibetan transliter-
ation between the Materia Tibetica of the Linden-Museum Stuttgart, i. e.
Tafel 72433 No. 6, ff. 1453-1653, and Umlauff 71382 No. 1, ff. 11-8, the
latter with 10 copies (Umlauff 71383-71392) .24
The Tafel xylograph is very faulty, and represents slightly different
readings; the orthography is full of anomalies. Several obscure passages
are faintly legible as the print is obliterated. The Umlauff text, a modern
xylograph, gives always correct readings, and is free from misprints. For
that reason the editor has given preference to the Umlauff text. Both of
them contain elements so markedly identical and different from the
Reiunji manuscript which enable us to assign an earlier date to the
Temple MS., and it can be admitted that the Reiunji manuscript is the
only existing Sanskrit text of the Minor Amoghapasahrdaya Mahayana-
dharanzi.

3. Conclusion
The importance of the Reiunji manuscript and the need for a basic
research will thus be clear from the data presented here. The object of
the Introduction is not to give a complete study, but to indicate the
different aspects of the Amnoghapasa texts. If some enthusiastic scholars

Mtuseums in Stuttgart, Stuttgart 1957, pp. 52, 96.
 The Amoghapa?ahrdaya-dharani 277

are inspired to undertake the edition of the Sanskrit Amoghapasakalpara~ja

with its Chinese and Tibetan versions as ancillary sources, the labours
of the editor will be amply rewarded.

4. Acknowledgements
In closing this introduction I wish to acknowledge my great indebt-
edness to Professor Hajime Nakamura, Tokyo, for sending me a microfilm
of an unknown Japanese edition of the Reiunji manuscript. I am deeply
grateful to him for his Preface.
I wish also to thank Professor Willibald Kirfel, Bad Godesberg,
whose interest, steady perseverance and valuable suggestions aided greatly
in bringing the translation of the Amoghapasahrdaya Mahayana-sutra to
its present form. The editor will also never forget the courteous assistance
of Professor J. F. Rock, Honolulu, in polishing the English version of
the Si-tra during his stay at Bonn in 1960.
Photostats and microfilms were kindly placed at my disposal by the

smiling countenance thus:
"0 Victorious One, ther exists a Hrdaya'3 named Amoghapa&a14
which was acquired by me from Lokendraraja, the Tathagata, the

history called Vilokita.15 Through this [H.rdaya] many hundreds of
thousands of Devaputras belonging mainly to the Isvaras, Mahesvaras and
the gods who are in the retenue Brahman, as well as the Suddhavasa

One, is this Hrdaya performed; in that part of the earth the 12 x
hundreds of thousands'9 of Devaputras who belong mainly to the Isvaras,
Mahe'varas and the gods pertaining to Brahman will be established to
guard, protect and defend. In that part of the earth, 0 Victorious One,
is the Amoghapasahrdaya performed; this part of the earth will be

the evil Doctrine, blames the Saints, rejects the true Doctrine or tends
toward hell, condemns all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Aryasravakas and

0 Victorious One, if a boy of noble descent or a daughter of noble
descent, a monk or a nun, a layman or a female devotee or any other

the honour of the Amoghapas'ahrdaya and recites the latter65 seven times
without speaking another word, then, 0 Victorious One, the twenty
Dharmas will be won as blessings66, to these one should aspire. Which
twenty ?
(1 ) A disease67 will not occur in his body; when a disease caused
by karman has arisen, it will quickly be cured.
(2 ) The body will be smooth, handsome and slender.
(3 ) He will be in favour with many people.
(4) His senses will be self-controlled.
(5) He will acquire wealth; when wealth has arisen, a thief67 will
not be able to rob it.
( 6) [The wealth] can neither be burnt by fire nor washed away
by flood. A king will not be able to confiscate it by force.68
( 7) The length of his life will be prolonged.
( 8) He will no longer be in fear of fire and flood.
( 9) He will no longer be in fear of storm and torrential rain.
(10) Every calamity will be eliminated, if [a sadhaka] recites the
Amoghapasahrdaya seven times over ashes or water, before the
demarcation of a field [as a magical ground marked out] is drawn
in accordance with the cardinal directions and intermediate points,
downwards and upwards.
(11) Whatever robs the vital strength, will no longer be able to
ruin it.
(12) He will be popular with all beings.
(13) He will no longer be in fear of an enemy.
(14) If fear of an enemy should arise, it will quickly be removed.
(15) He will no longer be in fear of a non-human being.
(16) He will no longer be in fear of an evil spirit.
(17) He will no longer be in fear of a witch.
(18) Fearful depravities and vices will no longer arise.
(19) His life will not end by fire, sword or poison.
(20) And the gods will always grant him guard, protection and
defence. Wherever he will be born, there he shall not miss
pity, enjoyment and disinterestedness
These are the twenty blessings, and eight other Dharmas which can

be obtained. Which eight ?

(1) At the hour of death, the Bodhisattva, Mahasattva, Saint
Avalokites'vara will appear to him in the shape of a monk.
(2) He will happily end his life.
(3) His faith will not be disturbed.
(4) At the hour of death, he will neither agitate arms nor legs nor
die by falling out of bed and not [soil himself with] excrements
and urine.
(5) His mindfulness will be well-developed.
(6) He will not die with the mouth turned downwards.
(7) At the hour of death, he will possess a never-failing self -con-
fidence69.
(8) To whatever Buddhaksetra he directs his prayer, there he will
be born and not be abandoned from good friends.
When [this Hrdaya] is to be recited thrice every day [by a sadhaka]
who is desirous of spiritual progress, the remaining portions of mixed
meals, as meat, alcoholic drinks, onion70, leek( ?)71 and garlic72 must be
removed. The Amoghapas'ahrdaya is to be declaimed as a religious sermon
to all beings when their strength and weakness has been recognized.
The teacher's refusing to lend books [to pupils]73 is interdicted, because
they will become Bodhisattvas if they are immaculate and free from envy
and jealousy. The wisdom of the Buddha will be attained in the service
for beings; he enters the host of the Bodhisattvas. Enlightenment (bodhi)
is understood as wisdom (prajfia), being (sattva) as means (utaya)74.
These two Dharmas will be attained in the service for the beings. If the
Victorious One consents, I shall proclaim this Hrdaya in the presence of
the Tathagata for the benefit, welfare and happiness of the Four
Assemblies and for the benefit of others who sin."
Then the Victorious One spoke to the Bodhisattva, Mahasattva, Saint
Avalokitesvara thus:
"Speak, Suddhasattva, if you think the present time auspicious. The
Tathagata will accept with joy the fatherhood75 for the beings who
pertain to the Bodhisattvayana76 even at the last moment."

And the Bodhisativa, Mahasattva Saint Avalokitesvara spoke with

xunwinking eyes to the Victorious One thus:
"Hear, 0 Victorious One, this rnandala is honoured by all Bodhi-
sattvas as the door to the Salvation77 which contributes to the welfare of
many people, to the happiness of many people and to the benefit of the
whole humanity:

with ashes or water or with white mustard'47 [seeds, by digging four]
acacia'48-plugs, a. s. o.
A string must be tied for every kind of fever. For all diseases melted

After having recited [the Hrdaya] twenty-one times over the five-fold
thread whilst the demarcation is drawn and [the thread] tied to the four

Safety of the house shall be the effect of a permanent recital. Through
a lotus-oblation all beings are made happy; they will be zealous.
Protection against every fear and persecution by demons162 will be insured
by a sandal-oblation.
After having recited [the Hrdaya] hundred-eight times over the
medicinal herbs jaya, vijaya, nakuli, gandhanakuli, carinz, abhayapani,
indrapani, gandhapriyangu, tagara, cakra, mnahacakra, visnukranta,
somaraji and sunanda, a talisman is to be made [from them] which must
be put on the head or on the upper arm; boys [wear it] around the neck
and girls around the waist. It will be the cause of great prosperity,
elimination of misfortune and bestowing with children. When the talisman
is worn, every possible protection is assured. Poison and fire shall not
approach. Poisoning shall not occur, and if [such a case] were possible,
it will be cured quickly. All demons shall be expelled. An inundation
shall be mastered. The Hrdaya of Saint Avalokitesvarva composed by
the highest Sage is like an oleander-branch universally efficacious; it
verily produces these effects.
Then, in order to perform the Rite,163 a painter, who has fasted,'64
designs an image of the Buddha, the Victorious One, on cotton material
with various light and unmixed colours. The Saint Avalokitesvara wearing

Pas'upati-dress, is to be painted with all ornaments. The sadhaka, after

having drawn a mandala with cowdung in front of the image and strewed
it with flowers, must place eight jars filled with scented water before it.
The eight offerings with sixty-four ingredients and the sacrificial objects
must be free from flesh and blood. Upon having offered incense of
aloe-wood [to the image], the Vidya165 is to be recited eight thousand
times. The recital must be pe.formed by a Pure one who, after having
eaten only three portions of " white " food166 in three days or in one day
and bathed at the three times of day,167 has put on a clean garment. He
will look in extasy at the image. Whilst he looks with pleasure [at the
image], the Saint Avalokites?vara will appear in person and fullfil all
wishes. Then, after recital over realgar or malachite, and having rubbed
them into his eyes, [the sa7dhaka] will become invisible and fly through
the air. He attains the samadhi named Asammohajilanavyaha. What
the sadhaka wishes, will be realized."
Thus spoke the Victorious One. And the Saint Avalokites'vara the
Devaputras belonging mainly to the Suddh'7vasa gods, Brahman Saham-
pati, the Isvaras, Mahes'varas, Bodhisattvas and the Mahas'ravakas
welcomed the Word of the Victorious One.168
The Saint Avalokites'vara's Amoghapas'ahrdaya with its Rite is
finished.

Chapter II: Fragmentary Nepalese palm-leaf Ms.

(University Library Cambridge Or. Ms. 152)

Text missing in the early Tibetan version (Tun-huang) is indicated by

Italic types. The foliation and the beginning of the lines in the Ms. is shown
by pointed brockets < >. Square brackets [ ] are used for the editor's
additions where the Ms. is broken, or where the scribe has an omission.
The string-hole of the palm-leaves is represented by a circle.
