In addition, several persons including TAIRA no Kiyomori and Emperor Godaigo were known to have performed a method of Dakiniten in esoteric Buddhism, however, "Genpei Seisuiki" (The Rise and Decline of the Minamoto and Taira clans) states that TAIRA no Kiyomori discontinued this method. |
平清盛や後醍醐天皇などがダキニ天の修法を行っていたことでも知られ、『源平盛衰記』には平清盛はこの修法を途中で止めた旨が記されている。 |
