Esoteric Buddhist Texts in the Stone-carved Canon at Mt. Fang
While most of the Esoteric Buddhist scriptures found among the
stone-carved scriptures at Mt. Fang are included in the four Taishō
volumes, there are nevertheless a few that are not, as follows:
Shijiao zuishang sheng bimi zang tuoluoni ji
(Collection of the Secret Storehouse of Dhāran ̣īs of the High-
est Vehicle of Buddhism),^145 compiled by the ācārya Zhaowu Xinglin
(fl. second half of ninth century to early tentth century)^146
from Da Anguo Temple in Chang’an. This comprehen-
sive collection of dhāraṇīs and mantras is one of the most important
and significant of the Esoteric Buddhist works found in the Mt. Fang
Tripiṭaka, and it reflects the final phase of orthodox Zhenyan Bud-
dhism of the Tang.^147
