The collection of dhāraṇī for the teaching of Śākyamuni as supreme vehicle secret repository, the book is a collection of dhāraṇī commonly used in the Buddhist community, written in 898 years by the Xinglin, and all of dhāraṇī carved in stone of Fangshan cave, such as by Weihuo in the Liao and Jin dynasty. This book is for those in the 21 books from the total of 30 books of Fangshan Stone Tripitaka, consists of 30 volumes. It is not an exaggeration to say that the book was the culmination of a dhāraṇī in Buddhist history because there are a total of more than 600 dhāraṇī in this book. Furthermore, it seems to be a valuable resource for future research of the letters of Siddhamātṛkā-type because there are the letters of Chinese transliteration of the Sanskrit and the letters of Siddhamātṛkā-type side by side in writing. And there are four pieces of a Kṣitigarbha bodhisattva dhāraṇī in this book Vol.21. It is as follows that ①the Kṣitigarbha bodhisattva dhāraṇī(from Daśacakra-kṣitigarbha sūtra), ②the Kṣitigarbha bodhisattva dhāraṇī such as the range of indestructible adamantine, ③the Kṣitigarbha bodhisattva dhāraṇī, ④the Kṣitigarbha bodhisattva magnanimousness dhāraṇī. ① is a another representation of dhāraṇī for the letters of Chinese transliteration of the Sanskrit ‘衆德究竟記莂呪術陀羅尼章句’ in the Daśacakra-kṣitigarbha sūtra or ‘具足水火吉祥光明大記明呪總持章句’ in the Great vehicle and collection sutra of Daśacakra-kṣitigarbha. ② is a name for a new Kṣitigarbha bodhisattva mantra that appears on the Vairocanābhisaṃbodhi sūtra. However, unlike these scriptures ①‧② Basis for ③‧④ had not yet been discovered. but the analysis of ③‧④dhāraṇī, ③ is not satisfied by Nirvana Kṣitigarbha bodhisattva themselves wish, it is has to do with a main object of veneration for great vow. ④ seems to be related to dhāraṇī for majestic power of Kṣitigarbha, which unfolded in the hall of Kṣitigarbha of garbhodbhava-maṇḍala. Anyway, according to the authors, the basic analysis of The collection of dhāraṇī for the teaching of Śākyamuni as supreme vehicle secret repository and the study on four kinds of Kṣitigarbha bodhisattva dhāraṇī that was contained in it, the authors wish that it was back-to-back studying with a more in-depth research in the future.
