TheTen Small Mantras (Chinese: 十小咒;pinyin:Shíxiǎozhòu,Sanskrit:Daśa Cula Mantra), or theTen Mantras (Chinese: 十咒,pinyin:Shízhòu,rōmaji:Jusshu,Vietnamese: Thập Chú),[1] is a subgrouping ofesoteric Buddhistmantras ordharanis inChinese Buddhism, JapaneseŌbaku Zen Buddhism as well asVietnamese Buddhism.
InChina, the earliest extant appearance of this specific grouping is theMing dynasty (1368-1644) Chinese Buddhist liturgical compilations, theZhujing Risong Jiyao (諸經日誦集要, lit: "Compilation of Essentials for the Daily Chanting of Various Sūtras"), which was critically revised and edited by the EighthChinese Pure Land Patriarch,Yunqi Zhuhong (雲棲袾宏, 1655-1615), and later reprinted by the NinthChinese Pure Land Patriarch and Thirty-FirstTiantai Patriarch,Ouyi Zhixu (蕅益智旭, 1599-1655). This grouping was subsequently frequently included in most subsequent influential Buddhist liturgical compilations for daily liturgical sessions that were collated during theQing dynasty (1644-1912) andRepublican (1912-1949) eras, eventually becoming standardized as part of the common repertoire chanted by monks, nuns, and laity. Two examples of such liturgical compilations that include the mantras and which are still widely used in contemporary times are theChanmen Risong (禪門日誦; lit: "Daily Chants of theChan Gate") and theFomen Bibei (佛門必備課誦本, lit: "Book of Essential Chants of the Buddhist Gate"). Influential traditional commentaries on the significance of each mantra during liturgical sessions have also been written by various eminent Chinese Buddhist figures, such as theLinji Chan monkYulin Tongxiu (玉林通琇, 1614 – 1675), who was a teacher of theQing dynastyShunzhi Emperor (1638 – 1661), and theTiantai monk Guanyue Xingci (觀月興慈, 1881 – 1950). InVietnam, the grouping was transmitted some time during the Ming or Qing dynasty. The mantras are included as part of the repertoire for liturgical services in theThiền Môn Nhật Tụng, which is the Vietnamese adaptation of the ChineseChanmen Risong. InJapan, this grouping was transmitted during the end of the Ming dynasty by the eminent Ming dynasty monkYinyuan Longqi (or Ingen Ryūki), who founded theŌbaku Zen tradition of Japanese Buddhism. The mantras are included in theZenrin Kajū (禅林課誦, lit: "Chants of theZen Forest"), which is a standardized Buddhist liturgical compilations that is used for daily liturgical sessions byŌbaku monastics.
InChina,Taiwan and otheroverseas Chinese communities, the ten mantras are regularly chanted everyday in most contemporary Chinese Buddhist temples across multiple traditions likeChan,Pure Land andTiantai as part of standard morningliturgical services through the performance offanbai, alongside other mantras like theŚūraṅgama mantra as well as sūtras and gathas.[2] InVietnam, the ten mantras are also typically chanted as part of daily liturgical services in traditions likeThiền Buddhism. InJapan, the ten mantras are chanted through the performance of bonbai (the Japanese reading of fanbai) by contemporary monastics belonging to theŌbaku Zen tradition. Unlike other Japanese Buddhist traditions, mantras in theŌbaku tradition are chanted in theTō-on reading, which is a pronunciation that approximates theNanjing dialect ofMandarin during the Ming dynasty.
