Abstract
The Lianhuabuxin niansong yigui (Jpn: Rengebushin nenju giki, _??__??__??__??__??__??__??__??_) is a fundamental ritual text of the Vajradhatu tradition transmitted to Tang China. Whether a translation or a composition of Amoghavajra, the single volume edition (Taisho no. 873) is best known. A two-volume edition also exists, with some minor differences compared to the one-volume text. This edition has never been made available, and scholars were forced to rely on secondary literature describing these differences. Fortunately, it was learned that the two-volume edition brought to Japan by one of the eight Japanese monks who traveled to Tang China, Zenrinji Shuei (_??__??__??__??__??_, 809-884) is preserved at To-ji Kanchi-in temple. The author produced a printed edition for the benefit of researchers. This is a continuation of the author's previous paper.
