Summary

s.1

The Practice Manual of Noble Tārā Kurukullā is the most comprehensive single work on the female Buddhist deity Kurukullā. It is also the only canonical scripture to focus on this deity. The text’s importance is therefore commensurate with the importance of the goddess herself, who is the chief Buddhist deity of magnetizing, in particular the magnetizing which takes the form of enthrallment.

The text is a treasury of ritual practices connected with enthrallment and similar magical acts‍—practices which range from formal sādhana to traditional homa ritual, and to magical methods involving herbs, minerals, etc. The text’s varied contents are presented as a multi-layered blend of the apotropaic and the soteriological, as well as the practical and the philosophical, where these complementary opposites combine together into a genuinely spiritual Buddhist work.

Translation by the Dharmachakra Translation Committee.

Translated by Thomas Doctor from the Tibetan of the Degé Kangyur, with continuous reference to an English translation and critical edition of the extant Sanskrit manuscripts by Wieslaw Mical. English text edited by Gillian Parrish.

This translation has been completed under the patronage and supervision of 84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha.

Introduction

i.1

The very foundation of all Buddhist paths is the recognition of the unsatisfactory nature of saṃsāra, the cycle of conditioned existence, and the quest for liberation from it. Building upon that basis, the Great Vehicle holds that saṃsāra and nirvāṇa are indeed inseparable and that the goal of all practice must be the liberation from suffering, not only of oneself, but of all other beings. It is a debated point as to whether tantra has its own unique view. Where there is unanimity, however, is that the path of the tantras adds a panoply of methods that enable the practitioner to achieve the goal of the Great Vehicle swiftly and effectively.

The Translation

The Practice Manual of Noble Tārā Kurukullā

Chapter 1

[F.29.b]

1.1

Homage to noble Mañjuśrī, the youthful one.

Homage to the noble goddess, Tārā.

The tantra of The Arising of Tārā is an ocean of yogic practice.

Although its scripture and practice manual had declined and disappeared,

There was The Meditative Absorption of Tārā, chief among tantras.

Once that, too, became lost, this practice manual appeared.

1.2

For the sake of many beings, and as a compendium of the tantras

That elaborately teach the yogic practices,

Lokeśvāra, Lord of the World, taught this manual of practice.

Chapter 2

2.1

Through the method of worship in accordance with the Dharma,

One will attain dharmatā

And oneself will become the dharmadhātu.

That shall now be correctly explained.7

2.2

Now follows the practice method of the wish-fulfilling tree:

One should visualize, arising from the syllable vṛm,8

A wish-fulfilling tree.

As a transformation of the utpala,

It should be visualized to the left.

2.3

A rain of various riches

Falls from the middle of the sky,

And so fulfills wishes and desires.

The one who meditates like this becomes the Lord of Wealth.

Chapter 3

3.1

The progression of the ritual for reciting the mantra

Shall now be explained.

By merely understanding it,

The practitioner will reach success.

3.2

Coral is used for enthrallment,

Puṣkara removes poison,

And with crystal insight will expand.

These are to be used in three activities.

3.3

In a pit the shape of an aśvattha tree leaf, which is the pure nature of the place of birth, one should light a fire with wood from the aśoka tree. One must then, in the prescribed way, perform one hundred and eight offerings of red lotus flowers. The fire should be obtained from the home of an actor. The offerings are to be smeared with the three sweets and presented together with the root mantra.

Chapter 4

4.1

The mere seeing of the colored powder

Quickly brings about the attainment of buddhahood,

As one progresses through the stages of perception of the maṇḍala.

That shall now be explained correctly.

4.2

Four-sided and with four doors,

It is adorned with four arches.

In its center one should place the goddess,

In a bhaga form of good color.

4.3

In the east an arrow should be drawn;

And in the south, a bow;

In the west, a hand of fearlessness,

And in the north, an utpala.

4.4

All are in the border areas:

The vajra, the wheel, and so forth.

Wearing a red upper garment,

And with his face covered by a red silken cloth,

The disciple should enter there.

Chapter 5

5.1

Once when young Rāhulabhadra had gone to Rājagṛha to receive alms, he went to the Veṇuvana grove, and there descended into a long pond to wash his alms bowl. While there, he, the son of Yaśodharā, was mistaken for a white ascetic and so was pulled into the pond. At that time the young Rāhulabhadra recited this spell. No sooner had he recited the mantra than‍—just like someone emerging from his house‍—he arrived in the presence of the Blessed One.

Notes

n.1

Āryatārākurukullākalpa is the title in the Sanskrit manuscripts. D reads Āryatārekurukullekalpa.

n.2

Wieslaw Mical, whose annotated English translation from the Sanskrit is forthcoming.

n.3

Based on Sanskrit manuscripts and N and H. D reads sna rtser.

n.4

Based on Sanskrit manuscripts. D here reads ’dod pa’i lha las dga’ ba’i bu la sogs pa ri ’khrod ma.

n.5

Based on Sanskrit manuscripts and N and H. D here reads sgron ma rather than sgrol ma.

n.6

Based on N and H. D here reads sgron ma rather than sgrol ma.

n.7

The translation of these last two lines departs from the Sanskrit text, which reads athātaḥ saṃpravakṣyāmi yena tuṣyanti dharmatāḥ. dharmapūjāprayogeṇa dharmadhātuḥ svayaṃ bhavet. The word dharmadhātu is used here in its meaning of a “buddha” (multiple sources attest to this usage), and so is the word dharmatāḥ (in the plural, indicating that “the buddhas” is meant). The stanza could therefore be translated: “I will presently explain / The method of Dharma worship / Whereby the buddhas are pleased / And oneself becomes a buddha.” [W.M.]

n.8

Based on Sanskrit manuscripts. The Tibetan versions read brag rather than vṛm.

n.473

The order of words and clauses in this paragraph differs significantly between C, G and Es. We adopted here mainly the C version. Instead of giving variant readings, which would be too confusing, we adduce this paragraph from G and Es in its entirety. G runs as follows: maṅgalavāre madhyāhnavelāyāṃ cittakapardakaṃ prāpya kurukullāmantreṇāṣṭaśatajāpenālabhya pūjāṃ kṛtvā dvādaśāṣṭamīsu śnāpayitvā karatale tasthāpya [sic] koṭīṃ japet. dyūteṣu parājayo bhavati. bāhau netrakarpaṭena prāvṛtya dhārayet. anena dhaneśvaro bhavati. athavā taṃ kapardakaṃ bhāṇḍe prakṣipya dharaṇyāṃ gopayet. pratidinaṃ kārṣāpaṇaṃ labhate..

In C there are markings above thā as if this syllable was crossed out.

n.477

Because of smudging, it is not possible to tell whether the reading in C is rajasā or rajasāṃ.

n.499

Even though we have in this verse mantriṇā (the third person) instead of tvayā (the second), this is still a direct speech. The master alternates between the second and the ‘impersonal’ third persons (passive construction or optative). The direct speech definitely ends in verse 23, where the master (ācārya) becomes the grammatical agent (cf. verses 23–24).

n.542

As regards sentence structure, the śloka division in C (where the verse ends with vidhikramaiḥ) is probably more correct.

n.543

Starting here and ending with paragraph 38, this passage is absent in C, G, and T. It is, however, very likely that it was part of the original version, since the word vidhikramaiḥ, which precedes it and occurs again at its end, suggests a homoioteleuton omission on the part of the scribe.

Amitābha

འོད་དཔག་མེད།

amitābha

Definition from the 84000 Glossary of Terms:

The buddha of the western buddhafield of Sukhāvatī, where fortunate beings are reborn to make further progress toward spiritual maturity. Amitābha made his great vows to create such a realm when he was a bodhisattva called Dharmākara. In the Pure Land Buddhist tradition, popular in East Asia, aspiring to be reborn in his buddha realm is the main emphasis; in other Mahāyāna traditions, too, it is a widespread practice. For a detailed description of the realm, see The Display of the Pure Land of Sukhāvatī, Toh 115. In some tantras that make reference to the five families he is the tathāgata associated with the lotus family.

Amitābha, “Infinite Light,” is also known in many Indian Buddhist works as Amitāyus, “Infinite Life.” In both East Asian and Tibetan Buddhist traditions he is often conflated with another buddha named “Infinite Life,” Aparimitāyus, or “Infinite Life and Wisdom,”Aparimitāyurjñāna, the shorter version of whose name has also been back-translated from Tibetan into Sanskrit as Amitāyus but who presides over a realm in the zenith. For details on the relation between these buddhas and their names, see The Aparimitāyurjñāna Sūtra (1) Toh 674, i.9.

avalokiteśvara

Definition from the 84000 Glossary of Terms:

One of the “eight close sons of the Buddha,” he is also known as the bodhisattva who embodies compassion. In certain tantras, he is also the lord of the three families, where he embodies the compassion of the buddhas. In Tibet, he attained great significance as a special protector of Tibet, and in China, in female form, as Guanyin, the most important bodhisattva in all of East Asia.

g.8

bhagavat

Definition from the 84000 Glossary of Terms:

In Buddhist literature, an epithet applied to buddhas, most often to Śākyamuni. The Sanskrit term generally means “possessing fortune,” but in specifically Buddhist contexts it implies that a buddha is in possession of six auspicious qualities (bhaga) associated with complete awakening. The Tibetan term‍—where bcom is said to refer to “subduing” the four māras, ldan to “possessing” the great qualities of buddhahood, and ’das to “going beyond” saṃsāra and nirvāṇa‍—possibly reflects the commentarial tradition where the Sanskrit bhagavat is interpreted, in addition, as “one who destroys the four māras.” This is achieved either by reading bhagavat as bhagnavat (“one who broke”), or by tracing the word bhaga to the root √bhañj (“to break”).

Definition from the 84000 Glossary of Terms:

Mañjuśrī is one of the “eight close sons of the Buddha” and a bodhisattva who embodies wisdom. He is a major figure in the Mahāyāna sūtras, appearing often as an interlocutor of the Buddha. In his most well-known iconographic form, he is portrayed bearing the sword of wisdom in his right hand and a volume of the Prajñāpāramitāsūtra in his left. To his name, Mañjuśrī, meaning “Gentle and Glorious One,” is often added the epithet Kumārabhūta, “having a youthful form.” He is also called Mañjughoṣa, Mañjusvara, and Pañcaśikha.

Definition from the 84000 Glossary of Terms:

The ancient capital of Magadha prior to its relocation to Pāṭaliputra during the Mauryan dynasty, Rājagṛha is one of the most important locations in Buddhist history. The literature tells us that the Buddha and his saṅgha spent a considerable amount of time in residence in and around Rājagṛha‍—in nearby places, such as the Vulture Peak Mountain (Gṛdhrakūṭaparvata), a major site of the Mahāyāna sūtras, and the Bamboo Grove (Veṇuvana)‍—enjoying the patronage of King Bimbisāra and then of his son King Ajātaśatru. Rājagṛha is also remembered as the location where the first Buddhist monastic council was held after the Buddha Śākyamuni passed into parinirvāṇa. Now known as Rajgir and located in the modern Indian state of Bihar.
