intro.3
This dhāraṇī text appears to be connected with the account from The Sūtra of the Sublime Golden Light (Toh 555), in which it is recounted that, in the past, the Buddha Ratnaśikhin made a commitment that any being who hears his name at the time of death will be reborn in the Heaven of the Thirty-Three.¹ The fruits of his commitment are borne out in the narrative of The Sūtra of the Sublime Golden Light, in which several beings report having taken higher rebirths through the fortune of hearing the Buddha Ratnaśikhin’s name. The specific dhāraṇī found in the present text is, however, not included in The Sūtra of the Sublime Golden Light.
