consciousness is the energy of the soul (Carl Jung). Thus the
Mind of Perfect Action brings about liberation.


In the realm of Forms, Amoghasiddhi displays courage
besides compassion and wisdom to perfect his mission. Hi s
courage stems from the firm belief that “the mind creates all
doctrines”. It is symbolized by Abhya Mudra and by his incarnate
body Sakyamuni Buddha and Maitreya, the future Buddha.


The spirit of fearlessness in Buddhism expresses itself in
the readiness to endure all sufferings to liberate sentient be i n gs
through self-liberation. This is the mystical action of Secret
Buddhism. It is to save people by saving oneself because of one's
Great Vow.


In the Mandala, Amoghasiddhi is in the North, the spiritual
realm where the wind is cold, and the sun appears at midnight.
His aura is green, deriving from the blue of Vairocana's realm,
and the yellow of Ratnasambhava's compassion.


II. Lecture on Dharanis from various other Sutras in
Secret Buddhism
Apart from the fundamental Mahavairocana and
Vajrasekhara Sutras, Buddhist masters who compiled the
Tripitaka (three 'baskets' of Sutras on: Doctrine, Law and Essay)
have translated other Sutras from Sanskrit to Chinese. The work
was the merit of devoted Chinese Emperors who gave orders for
the translation, publication and teaching of the Sutras. They are
grouped under the secret scriptures section of the Tripitaka or
Great Store Sutra and have been transmitted up to today.
