Summary
s.1The Dhāraṇī of the Iron Beak [1] is the third of the “five beak dhāraṇīs” (mchu sde lnga, Toh 759–763) and among the few scriptures in the Degé Kangyur concerned with weather control practices. In Indra’s Rock Cave on Vaidehaka Mountain, Śakra requests the Buddha for the wrathful means with which to protect the Buddhist teachings. The Buddha then recites the dhāraṇī of the iron beak along with a short discourse on its efficacy, ritual instructions for weather control, and an exhortation for secrecy.
s.1《鐵嘴陀羅尼》[1]是「五嘴陀羅尼」(藏文:mchu sde lnga,對應編號 759–763)中的第三部,也是德格大藏經中少數與天氣控制修法相關的經典。在毘提訶山帝釋天的岩石洞窟中,帝釋天向佛陀請求具有威怒力量的方法來保護佛教教法。佛陀隨後誦出鐵嘴陀羅尼,並講述其功效的簡短開示、天氣控制的儀軌指導,以及對於保密的勸勉。
