弘法大師空海の教えのひとつである「十住心思想」を説いたもの。『大日経』「住心品」にもとづき、人間の心のあり様を10種類に分け、「第十秘密荘厳住心」へと至る、悟りへの発展過程を示す。『秘密曼荼羅十住心論』に対して「略論」と呼ばれるが、『秘蔵宝鑰』は、問答形式の表現が多く、より一般的な読者を対象として執筆されているとされる。

Hizō hōyaku: A scripture that preaches "The Ten Stages of Consciousness", a teaching by Kūkai. The teaching separates the state of the human mind into 10 types based off of the Mahavairocana Sutra’s “abiding mind” and then shows the process of how to reach the “Tenth Secret Solemn, Abiding Mind” which leads to enlightenment. While the Hizō hōyaku is considered the rough summary of the “Ten Abiding Stages on the Secret Mandalas”, it is written in the form of questions and answers so it can cater towards the common audience.
