Buddhism has a total of 84,000 Dharma gates by which anyone can reach enlightenment, approach the summit of wisdom, and uncover ways of deliverance. While this orientation is rather spiritual and philosophical, the pragmatic requirements of the finite world have not been unattended to in the realm of Buddhism. As a matter of fact, many Dharmaparyaya's, such as those texts of esoteric teachings, are intended to assist man in his pursuit of happiness, wealth, and well-being, as well as his search for protection against diseases and misfortunes. The Svaraga-bhūmyasta-rajas-riddhi-mantra-sūtra on view here is one such example. Treasured by the imperial courts of historical China, the Svaraga-bhūmyasta-rajas-riddhi-mantra-sūtra, with its fine pictorial and calligraphic renditions in gold ink, is illustrative of the maker's superb artisanship and authentic devotion.
