Among the many editions of the Chinese Buddhist canon, that which is most readily accessi¬ble today and is most widely used by scholars is the Taisho shinshu daizokyo

(New Edition of the Buddhist Canon Compiled during the Taisho Era), hereafter referred to as the “Taisho edition.” Published in Japan from 1924 to 1934, it comprises one hundred vol¬umes, made up of eighty-five volumes of texts containing 2,920 works, twelve volumes of iconography, and three of catalogues. The eighty-five volumes of texts (except for vol. 85) have been arranged by and large in the order of works traditionally considered to be of Indian

provenance, works composed in China, and works composed in Japan. These have been fur¬ther classified into thirty-one categories, of which the tantric texts with which we are here concerned constitute the tenth (Mikkyobu ^^^: “Section of Esoteric Teachings”), corre¬sponding to vols. 18-21 among the first thirty-two volumes traditionally considered to be of Indian provenance (although a number of works in vols. 18-21 were in fact composed in Chi¬na and some quite probably in Japan). In addition to vols. 18-21, works pertaining to East Asian Esoteric Buddhism include non-canonical commentaries, treatises, ritual manuals, and so on composed in China and Japan, and these are dealt with in the following section.


The Taisho edition was compiled with the aim of providing a reliable and comprehensive edition of the Chinese Buddhist canon, but while the “Section of Esoteric Teachings,” con-sisting of 573 works (or 618 works if one includes multiple redactions, etc., of some works), is numerically speaking the largest of the thirty-one categories into which the Taisho edition is divided, its coverage is not exhaustive and there are a number of tantric texts found in ear¬lier editions of the Chinese Buddhist canon that have been omitted. Although perhaps not im-mediately evident to the reader, the 573 texts contained in vols. 18-21 have been organized into fourteen categories.

14. Dharani-sutras (Shodaranikyorui O^M^MS): nos. 1331-1420 (pp. 495a-968c; 90 texts).


The sheer number and diversity of tantric texts make any attempt at classification diffi¬cult, and while the above classification could be said to have been an improvement on earlier schemes proposed by Japanese scholar-monks such as Annen (841-889?), Jogon (1639-1702), and Shinjo M'IA (1719-1802), it is still not entirely consistent in that it mixes content-based categories with categories based on formal characteristics. This means that works dealing with

the same subject matter are sometimes found scattered among several cat¬egories. To give just one example, no. 1170 (§10), no. 1241 (§13), and no. 1401 (§14) are all concerned with Vajragandhari and should, properly speaking, be grouped together. This ex¬ample also illustrates the fact that the classification of texts isnot only inconsistent, but some¬times also mistaken, for no. 1241 has been included in §13 on the basis of the erroneous as¬sumption that it is associated with Atavaka. There are also instances in which different versions of the same work have been placed in different categories (e.g., no. 1147 in §10 and nos. 1333 & 1334 in §14).


Be that as it may, vols. 18-21 of the Taisho edition constitute the most comprehensive collection of tantric scriptures preserved in Chinese and provide the basis for any study of Tantric or Esoteric Buddhism in EastAsia. While a good number of the 573 works contained in these volumes have also been preserved in Tibetan translation and, in some cases, in the original Sanskrit, many of them are unique to the Chinese Buddhist canon, and so they pro¬vide

valuable material for elucidating Tantric Buddhism as a whole. That greater use of them for this purpose has not been made is perhaps partly due to the fact that their content is not widely known. This makes a detailed descriptive catalogue of these volumes all the more de¬sirable, and as a first step towards that end a brief overview of the works included in each of the fourteen categories listed above has been given below together with references to

transla¬tions and studies in Western languages when appropriate. References are given at the end of each section in abbreviated form (and in chronological order when there are two or more ref¬erences dealing with the same text), preceded by the number of the corresponding text in brackets; for full details, the reader is referred to the main bibliography at the end of this vol¬ume. When appropriate, Sanskrit titles have also been given, with a double dagger

($) indi¬cating that the Sanskrit title has been taken from the Tibetan translation and an asterisk indi¬cating that the Sanskrit title has been reconstructed on the basis of the Tibetan or Chinese translation (although the word nama has generally been omitted). The references are by no means exhaustive, and for reasons of space not all partial correspondences with Sanskrit or Tibetan texts have been noted.


Volume 18


§1. Mahavairocana-sutra and related texts


This section consists of the Mahavairocana-sutra (or Vairocanabhisambodhi-sutra) [848], a separate version of fasc. 7 (which, strictly speaking, is not part of the Mahavairocana-sutra proper) [849], four lengthy ritual manuals [850-853], a text giving all the mantras appearing in the Mahavairocana-sutra in Siddham script [854], and several further ritual texts [855¬864].

§2. Vajrasekhara-sutra and related texts The Vajrasekhara-sutra here refers to the Sarvatathagatatattvasamgraha (STTS), and this section begins with a translation of the first chapter of part 1 of the STTS [865]. This is fol-lowed by the Luechu niansong jing [866], corresponding in content largely to the first part of the STTS, the Yuqi jing ft®,® [867], generally thought to have been composed in China, the Zhufo jingjie she zhenshi jing [868], also related to part 1 of the

STTS, and several texts dealing with ritual and doctrinal aspects of the STTS cycle [869-881]. A complete translation of the STTS [882] is followed by several works all translated during the Song dynasty, including the Guhyasamaja-tantra [885], ^Srivajramandalalamkara-tantra [886], Advayasamatavjaya-tantra [887], ^Sarvarahasya-tantra [888], ^Mayajala-tantra [890], and Hevajra-tantra [892].

They also include the i.Subahupariprccha [895-896], ^Guhya-tantra [897], *Vinaya-sutra [898], and *Dharant-samgraha [901], the last of which is a voluminous collection of rituals for the wor-ship of various deities.

§6. Ritual texts for buddhas

This section begins with two versions of the XBuddhahrdaya-dharant [918, 919], followed by another work also concerned with the “Buddha's heart” (buddhahrdaya) [920]. The re¬maining texts in this section describe rites, etc., for various buddhas: Aksobhya [921], Bhaisajyaguru [922-929], Amitayus [930], Lokesvararaja [931, 932], Amitabha [933, 934 (XAparimitagunanusamsa-dharani)], Amitayus [935], Aparimitayus [936-937 (Aparimi- tayur-mahayanasutra)], Sakyamuni [938, 939 (^.Sarvadurgatiparisodhanamandalavidhi)], Maitreya [940], Sakyamuni [941 (Maravjayastotra), 942], and *Aparajitadhvaja [943 (Dhvajagrakeyura--dharani)].

§7. Ritual texts for buddha-crowns

Volume 20


§9. Ritual texts for Avalokitesvara


The first group of texts in this section consists of texts that do not deal with a specific mani-festation of Avalokitesvara: rites for Avalokitesvara and the Lotus Family[1030-1033]; a col-lection of five spells [1034], not all of which are related to Avalokitesvara; Sahasravarta- dharani [1035; though the title of no. 1036 would suggest that it too is a version of the Sa- hasravarta-dharani, it is of quite different content]; XSamantabhadra-dharani [1037, 1038], expounded by Avalokitesvara; further ritual texts [1039-1042], including parts of the XTrailokyavjaya-mahakalparaja [1040]; several texts grouped

together on account of their reference to a “six-syllable spell” (sadaksari-vidya) [1043-1047, 1049]; Mahamantranu- sarini [1048]; Karandavyuha [1050]; a ritual text based on the Samayoga-tantra [1051]; and several works eulogizing Avalokitesvara [1052-1055], including the Avalokitesvarasya namastasataka

[1054]. These are followed by works pertaining to specific forms of Avaloki¬tesvara: Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed Avalokitesvara [1056-1068], Eleven-Faced Avalokitesvara [1069-1071 (Ekadasamukha-dharani)], Hayagriva [1072-1074], Cunda [1075-1079], Cakravarticintamani [1080-1091], Amoghapasa [1092 (Amoghapasa-kalpa- raja), 1093-1095 (Amoghapasahrdaya), 1096-1098, 1099 (Amoghapasahrdaya)], Parna- sabari [1100 (Parnasabari-dharani], Tara [1101-1104,
