| 摘要 | Through focusing on the development of Buddhist rainmaking rites in the Heian era (794-1185)，Ruppert analyzes the efforts of esoteric Buddhist monks to improve their relations with the sovereign and aristocrats of the Japanese court through performing rain prayers and producing literatures attesting to their abilities. These clerics did so through promoting aristocrats' belief in the existence and powers of Buddhist dragon kings, which were especially associated with grottoes and ponds. Drawing upon native belief in the powers of dragons as well as the precedent set by the Buddhist dragon of Mount Muro，they attempted to convince aristocrats of the special relationship of clerics with these dragon kings and consequent ritual ability to influence the production of rain. |
