究竟定: 清宫藏密瑜伽修行宝典 故宫博物院
Palace Museum, Beijing: JIU JING DING: QING GONG CANG MI YU JIA XIUXING BAODIAN Samadhi of Completion: Secret Tibetan Yoga Illuminations from Qing Court
11 x 11.5", 296 pp., fully illustrated in color, text in Chinese and English, Tibetan text along side each image, paper, Beijing, 2009.
The album presented here belongs to the extremely rich collection of the Library of the Palace Museum in Beijing. Though exceptional in both content and form, this manuscript remained unnoticed until autumn 2005 when Professor Luo Wenhua, Senior Research Fellow at the Palace Museum, came upon it while working in the library.
It is significant because of its proximity to the emperor as well as its informative imagery illustrating yogic exercises. The fact that this manuscript was kept in the Imperial Treasure certainly links it with the favor of several Ming and Qing emperors showing interest in Tibetan Buddhism.

Nara National Museum: SPECIAL EXHIBITION: APPLIED ART OF JAPANESE ESOTERIC BUDDHISM Exhibition April 25 - May 31, 1992
7 x 10", 284 pp., more than 200 plates, 22 in color, 4 line drawings, text in Japanese, list of plates in English, paper, Nara, 1992. (o.p.; near fine)
Esoteric Buddhism, born in India and then systematized in China into what is now called "pure esoteric Buddhism", was transmitted to Japan at the beginning of the 9th century. It was brought by the learned priests Saicho and Kukai, who respectively founded the Tendai and Shingon sects of Buddhism.
In esoteric Buddhism, practical austerities were respected as well as precepts. Many ceremonial instruments, varying widely and essential in the practice of esoteric austerities, take their original shapes from ancient Indian armor. They are uniquely shaped as stipulated by strict doctrine and carry a sense of mystery, for they are used to invest exercising priests with a special power enabling them to arrive at a Secret Sphere of Buddhism.
Many esoteric arts and crafts developed from the production of these instruments, their containers, and also various decorations for esoteric Buddhist halls and pagodas. Notable are: decorated urns for holding Buddha's remains; tabernacles to enshrine images of Buddha; temple decorations; instruments used in performing services for Buddha by offering incense, flowers, candles, meals and water; and the robes of priests and their daily living utensils and containers.
The Director of the Nara National Museum, Nobuyoshi Yamaoto stated this special exhibition systematically introduced these esoteric craftworks in a variety of shapes. Exhibited are the kinds of ceremonial instruments brought by Saicho and Kukai from T'ang together with other excellent goods made in China and Japan during the 8th to 13th centuries.
