Summary
s.1In the Kangyur and Tengyur collections there are more than forty titles centered on the form of Vajrapāṇi known as the “Blue-Clad One,” a measure of this figure’s great popularity in both India and Tibet. This text, The Tantra of the Blue-Clad Blessed Vajrapāṇi, is a scripture that belongs to the Conduct tantra (Caryātantra) class, the third of the four categories used by the Tibetans to organize their tantric canon. It introduces the practice of Blue-Clad Vajrapāṇi, while also providing the practitioner with a number of rituals directed at suppressing, subduing, or eliminating ritual targets.
s.1在甘珠爾和丹珠爾藏經中，有超過四十部經典以金剛手「藍衣著者」這一形象為中心，這足以說明這位尊神在印度和西藏都享有極高的人氣。《藍衣著者佛金剛手密續》這部經典屬於行續類，這是藏傳佛教用來組織密續藏經的四種分類中的第三種。它介紹了藍衣著者金剛手的修習方法，同時為修行者提供了一系列旨在抑制、制伏或消除儀軌對象的儀軌。
