Summary
s.1The Mahāmāyātantra, named after its principal deity Mahāmāyā, is a tantra of the Yoginītantra class in which Mahāmāyā presides over a maṇḍala populated primarily by yoginīs and ḍākinīs. The practitioner engages the antinomian power of these beings through a threefold system of yoga involving the visualization of the maṇḍala deities, the recitation of their mantras, and the direct experience of absolute reality. As well as practices involving the manipulation of the body’s subtle energies, the Mahāmāyātantra incorporates the transgressive practices that are the hallmark of the earlier tantric systems such as the Guhyasamājatantra, specifically the ingestion of sexual fluids and other polluting substances. The tantra promises the grace of Mahāmāyā in the form of mundane and transcendent spiritual attainments to those who approach it with diligence and devotion.
s.1《大幻女密續》以其本尊大幻女命名，屬於瑜伽女部密續，由大幻女主持一個主要由瑜伽女和空行母組成的壇城。修行者透過三重瑜伽體系與這些本尊的反律法力相連結，包括觀想壇城中的諸尊、誦持他們的真言，以及直接體驗絕對真實。《大幻女密續》除了包含操縱身體細微能量的修行法門外，還融入了早期密續傳統（如《秘密集會密續》）的特色——違逆禁忌的修行，特別是攝取性流和其他污穢物質。該密續承諾大幻女的加持，將以世俗和超越的成就形式賜予那些以勤奮和虔誠態度修習者。
