Summary
s.1The Amoghapāśakalparāja is an early Kriyātantra of the lotus family. Historically, it is the main and largest compendium and manual of rites dedicated to Amoghapāśa, one of Avalokiteśvara’s principal emanations, who is named after and distinguished by his “unfailing noose” ( amoghapāśa ). The text is primarily soteriological, with an emphasis on the general Mahāyāna values of compassion and loving kindness for all beings. It offers many interesting insights into early Buddhist ritual and the development of its terminology.
s.1《不空羂索儀軌王經》是蓮花部的早期事部密教典籍。從歷史角度看,它是獻給不空羂索的主要且最龐大的法儀彙編和手冊,不空羂索是觀音菩薩的主要化身之一,以其「不失羂索」而得名並以此相區別。這部經典主要涉及救度論,強調大乘佛教中對所有眾生的慈悲和愛語價值觀。它提供了許多關於早期佛教法儀及其術語發展的寶貴見解。
