F. MAHAYANA PRECEPTS OF THE SECRET SECT
(Revelation of Magic Principles Governing Bodhi Heart
Bodhisattva Precepts)
In central India country of Magadha, Rajagraha City, at the
Nalanda Forest of Bamboos monastery, there was a Tripitaka
monk named Dubaca, or Subhakarasimha. He was from a
generous and noble family of Ksatrya lineage, an expert in the
doctrine of the Great Vehicle. When he came to China, he
discussed the Great Vehicle in depth and analyzed its essential
points with Zen master Jing Xi'an at the monastery Hui Shan in
Co`ng Yue. The dialogue of Dubaca had opened the people's eyes
and converted them to Buddhism. His exposition contains the
requirements to receive the Revelation of Magic Principles
governing the Bodhi Heart Bodhisattva Precepts of the Secret
Doctrine, which has been transferred up to this day. The
following is a general outline.
