Description
This section of Samuel Beal's A Catena of Buddhist Scriptures from the Chinese (London: Trübner, 1871) presents translated material related to Cundī (Tchundi), a bodhisattva deity venerated in Chinese Buddhism. Beal prefaces the liturgical texts with a brief comparative discussion of Cundī's identity, noting her association with Kwan-Yin, Devi/Durga, and Parvati, and raising the question of possible Hindu and Christian influences on her cult. The section then presents two liturgical texts translated from the Chinese: a recitation procedure for the Dhāraṇī of Cundī, detailing the ritual postures, hand-seals (mudrās), and sequence of dhāraṇīs to be recited — including dhāraṇīs of Mañjuśrī, Kwan-Yin, and Amitābha Buddha, with the main Cundī dhāraṇī repeated 108 times — and a set of gāthas of personal consecration in which the practitioner vows to attain enlightenment, confesses past misdeeds rooted in the three poisons of covetousness, anger, and delusion, and aspires to rebirth in Amitābha's Pure Land.
