: Wisdom Library: Ma帽ju艣r墨n膩masa峁僩墨ti痴补箩谤腻惫别艣补 (啶掂啷嵿ぐ啶距さ啷囙ざ) is one of the four door guardians appearing in the 痴补箩谤补诲丑腻迟耻-尘补丑腻尘补峁囜笉补濒补, according to the N膩mamantr膩rth膩valokin墨 v5.37. The N膩mamantr膩rth膩valokin墨 (literally, 鈥榓n explanation of the 苍腻尘补-尘补苍迟谤补蝉鈥�) is a commentary (峁玨腻) on the 8th century Ma帽ju艣r墨n膩masa峁僩墨ti.
痴补箩谤腻惫别艣补 is a name of Ma帽ju艣r墨 (the embodiement of non-dual knowledge) and, together with other names, forms the core essence of the Ma帽ju艣r墨n膩masa峁僩墨ti. The N膩mamantr膩rth膩valokin墨 provides the practitioner a 蝉腻诲丑补苍补 (鈥榤editative practice鈥�) to turn these names into mantras. These mantras are chanted for the benefit of all beings, and then placed and contemplated in the 痴补箩谤补诲丑腻迟耻-尘补丑腻尘补峁囜笉补濒补, which is an extended version of the Vajradh膩tu-尘补峁囜笉补濒补.
