Description
The Sarvadurgatipariśodhana (SDP) Tantra, or The Purification of All Negative Rebirths, is a Buddhist Yoga Tantra long associated with funerary practices across various Buddhist cultures. However, like most canonical tantras, the text itself offers little practical ritual instruction. Instead, this role is taken up by local ritual manuals and handbooks that have developed around the tantra over the centuries (Open Edition Journals). The SDP consists of eleven chapters. Picture of a Buddha teaching 4 deities on fol 1b. According to the colophon, the donor of this ms. belongs to "Śrī Bhāskaradeva Saṃskārita Śrī Keśavacandrakṛta Pāravata Mahāvihāra."
