The Dhāraṇī of the Eight Goddesses

The Noble Dhāraṇī of the Eight Goddesses is a teaching that was given by the bodhisattva Vajrapāṇi to the bodhisattva Mañjuśrī on a set of dhāraṇīs that corresponds to an eight-goddess maṇḍala. The text consists of material extracted from the work that precedes it in the Degé Kangyur, the Vajra­pāṇyabhiṣeka.

The Prophecy of the Girl Candrottarā

Born to the wealthy Licchavī couple Vimalakīrti and Vimalā, Candrottarā speaks in verse at birth and radiates golden light. Besieged by suitors, she takes purification vows, receives a miraculous vision, and rises into the air to teach on the futility of desire. Leading the crowd to the Buddha, she impresses Śāriputra and the bodhisattvas with her wisdom, prompting the Buddha to smile and predict her future awakening.

The Past Endeavor of Kanakavarṇa

In The Past Endeavor of Kanakavarṇa, the Buddha recounts a past life as King Kanakavarṇa, who selflessly offered his last food during a famine to a pratyekabuddha. This act miraculously ended the famine and ultimately led to the king's perfect awakening as the Buddha Śākyamuni.
