noun
Vajrasekhara Sutra
An important esoteric Buddhist sutra, foundational in Shingon and other Vajrayana traditions. The title is a proper noun referring to a specific scripture.
金剛頂経は密教の重要な経典の一つです。
The Vajrasekhara Sutra is one of the important scriptures of esoteric Buddhism.
The title is a direct translation of the Sanskrit 'Vajraśekhara Sūtra', where 金剛 (kongō) means 'vajra' or 'diamond', 頂 (chō) means 'peak' or 'summit', and 経 (kyō/gyō) means 'sutra'. The reading こんごうちょうぎょう follows standard Sino-Japanese Buddhist terminology.
