Introduction

by Stefan Mang
A brief historical overview of the deity Vajravidāraṇa (rdo rje rnam ’joms).

Dhāraṇī

from the Words of the Buddha
Vajravidāraṇa (rdo rje rnam ’joms) is a semi-wrathful form of Vajrapāṇi and the deity’s dhāraṇī (gzungs), counted as a kriyā-tantra, is known for its healing and purifying effect. The dhāraṇī has inspired a large number of ritual liturgies and commentaries, both Indic and Tibetan, and is commonly recited by Tibetan and Newar Buddhists. In Tibetan it is preserved mainly in two forms, one in the Kangyur and the Nyingma version presented here, which is said to be a reconstruction based on commentarial literature.
