Summary

Describes a esoteric cultivation method in 78 chapters. Chapter 1 in Scroll 1 contains the 母陀羅尼真言 Mother Dhāraṇī Mantra. This is followed by a description of signs of miracles, including mountains shaking and flowers falling from the sky. Then ritual instructions are given, including visualization. There are much shorter Chinese translations by Jñānagupta (T 1093), Xuan Zang (T 1094), Dānapāla (T 1099) and others. These mostly contain only the Mother Dhāraṇī Mantra of Scroll 1 in T 1092.
