One Word Dharani for the ending stage of the Doctrine
Secret Dharani SutraThe precious Mudra Dharani
The Unisha Vijaja Dharani Sutra and a number of other
important sacred books especially one called “Secret East” that
was compiled from over 100 Secret Buddhism Sutras.
He had in fact contributed many services towards the
propagation of the philosophy and theories of Secret Buddhism
for the Vietnamese people. However, due to the lack of
traditional Abhisekha transmission, Secret Buddhism was onl y
known through its theories. Even Venerable Thich Vien Duc
himself was not able to transmit the spiritual power he had
significantly attained.
Venerable Thich Pho Ung is another prominent Buddhist
master at Linh Quang Shrine, on Nguyen Khoai Street- district of
Khanh Hoi. He performed exorcism and displayed ma n y
supernatural powers everyday for the general public. However,
he did not want to preach and impart any theories or applications
of the Secret Doctrine. Perhaps he considered Esoteric Doctrine
too difficult to practice and should be reserved for chosen monks.
Venerable Thich Thien Tam preached Pure Land
Buddhism. He also recited the Dharani of Secret Buddhism, and
had also obtained significant supernatural powers. Recently he
translated and preached a number of esoteric scriptures.
However, he too, could not implement all the steps of Abhisekha
because of the lack of orthodox coherence.
In summary, one cannot rely too much on the Venerable
and other Honorable monks that have practiced Esoteric Doctrine
