| Abstract | Not long ago, during my PhD research, I came across some texts which have a special connection to Fugen Enmei bosatsu 普賢延命菩薩, a unique deity of Japanese esoteric Buddhism. These texts and their core notion of longevity are intriguing, especially because they are only extant in the tradition of two great Indian esoteric masters, Vajrabodhi (671-741) and Amoghavajra (705-774), and, not to mention, they have never been studied or translated. In this paper, I am examining the origins of three of the texts by trying to give a timeline to their transmission to East Asia, while especially focusing on how they are connected to the two Indian masters. |
