Summary
s.1The Dhāraṇī for a Caitya is a short manual on the ritual preparation for and casting of small caityas from clay. The ritual has three main parts: a description of the general transformative power of the dhāraṇī, the preparation rituals for the ground and clay, and rituals for the consecration of the cast images. The main dhāraṇī, with the name vimaloṣṇīṣa, “stainless uṣṇīṣa,” was widely used in central and northeast Asian Buddhism, especially in the context of purification, consecration, and inauguration rituals.
s.1《塔陀羅尼》是一部關於用黏土製作和鑄造小塔儀軌的簡短手冊。該儀軌分為三個主要部分:陀羅尼的總體轉化力量描述、大地和黏土的準備儀軌,以及鑄造造像的開光儀軌。主要陀羅尼名為無垢肉髻陀羅尼,意為「無瑕肉髻」,在中亞和東北亞佛教中被廣泛使用,特別是在淨化、開光和啟用儀軌的背景下。
