When the belief of sitātapatrā dharani was prevalent in Dunhuang during the period ranging from the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, Dhavaja parasol, as a concretized symbol of its mantras, was constantly expounded and deified in the ritual of city-parading with white chattra, and became a key dharma vessel for making a sacred place. The Dhavaja parasol is erected with an intention to divide a space into "inner" and "outer" parts, whereby a sacred place can be made by exorcising misfortunes in the "outer" part through purifying and sublimating the "inner" part. The means to make a sacred space, which follows the internal logic of esoteric Buddhism, is definitely a combination of textual basis and real demands. On conceptual and technical level, whether to carry the sitātapatrā dharani on neck and arm, or store it into the parasol, these practices are also consistent with Taoist theurgy of phylactery, charms, as well as rites of praying. Through the regular holding of the rites, political legitimacy and sense of community were forged under the concurrent attempt to maintain regional wellbeing.
