十二夢王 [shi er meng wang]—Twelve Dream Kings — [Miscellaneous Name] In the practice of the samadhi (三昧 [san mei]) of Mahayana sutras (方等 [fang deng]), there are twelve divine beings (神明 [shen ming]) who appear in dreams and grant auspicious signs. The Great Mahayana Dhāraṇī Sūtra (大方等陀羅尼經 [da fang deng tuo luo ni jing]), Volume 1, states: "The Buddha told Huaju, 'I now tell you: Do not rashly propagate such a wonderful Dharma. You should take divine beings (神明 [shen ming]) as witnesses. Why are they called divine beings (神明 [shen ming])? Good men, it is like this: there will be Twelve Dream Kings; only by seeing one of these kings can it be spoken of.'" [Numbered List] See the entry for Dream (夢 [meng]). (Dream)
十二夢王—【雜名】行方等三昧，有十二神明，現於夢中，與以好相。大方等陀羅尼經一曰：「佛告華聚，我今語汝：莫妄宣傳如是妙法，當以神明為證。何以故？名為神明？善男子如是。當有十二夢王，見此一王者乃可為說。」
【名數】見夢條。(夢)
