As esoteric Buddhism gradually receded in importance in China during and following the Tang period, it seems that the practice methods taught in the Wuliangshou yigui 無量寿儀軌 were gradually forgotten. However, the tradition of esoteric Buddhism was not completely lost, and esoteric rituals such as the Yankou 焔口 ceremony have continued to the present. The Yankou yigui 焔口儀軌 text that this ceremony is based on is interesting in that it quotes the meditation called “Entering the Samādhi of Avalokiteśvara” 入観自在三摩地 given in the Wuliangshou yigui, and also refers to an Amitāyus maṇḍala阿弥陀曼荼羅
