| | kukai |
 | | Kukai had previously not used the term school to describe his new form of Buddhism, perhaps trying to reinforce the idea that this was not simply another school of Buddhism, but an entirely new teaching which needed to be sharply distinguished from all that had come before it. | | | Essential to this new discourse was Kukai's theory of mantra which suggests that words are saturated with meaning, and that especially mantra are manifestations of the ultimate truth according to Buddhism. | | | Kukai came to be regarded as a Bodhisattva who had come to earth in order to bring relief from suffering to the time between Shakyamuni Buddha, and Maitreya, which is said to be characterised by increasing disorder and decay. |

| | "The priest Kukai is a native of the district.... | | | Mastery of Sanskrit was essential for the study of esoteric Buddhism. | | | Kukai died on Mount Koya on April 23, 835, and it is believed that even now he remains in eternal samadhi in his bodily form within the inner shrine on the mountain. |

| | Kukai |
| | For this reason, although the monks of Mount Hiei became the most powerful Buddhists at court, esoteric Shingon Buddhism was the most important religion of the Heian period and the early feudal period. | | | Anything that had beauty revealed the truth of the Buddha; as a result, the art of the Hiei monks made the religion profoundly popular at the Heian court and deeply influenced the development of Japanese culture that was being forged at that court. | | | was the most significant Buddhist monastery in early Japanese history, Kukai (774-835) is perhaps the most significant individual in the history of Heian Buddhism. |

| | Amazon.com: Books: Kukai and His Major Works |
| | Kukai himself introduced Vajrayana Buddhism to Japan, much as Padmasambhava brought it to Tibet. | | | In one passage that stands out particularly, a Buddhist monk exchanges questions and answers with an unnamed "patriot," who argues that the practice of Buddhism is actually a waste of the nation's resources, and therefore is nothing but trouble. | | | This book was designed to introduce the non-Japanese world to Shingon Buddhism and the writings of its founder, Kukai (aka Kobo Daishi), and it does a good job at it. |

| | The achievements of Kukai (Kobo Daishi), whose introduction of esoteric Buddhism into Japan from China resulted in the formation of the Shingon school. | | | Kukai, more commonly known by his posthumous title, Kobo Daishi, is one of the great characters in the development of Japanese culture. | | | "Kukai was a polymath who has achieved the status of demigod in popular legend; in part because of his virtuosity as a writer of Chinese, his books are too difficult to read by any but a very few scholars in Japan today. |

| | The Shiki Monthly Kukai (haiku contest): Voting Phase |
| | In his garden there is a stone Buddha and even a stone lantern. | | | I imagined Stan's Buddha covered with snow and wrote the haiku specially for this Kukai and for Stan. | | | Early in the voting we received a question from one of the participants, who asked if this poem was perhaps too close to another poem, which received third place in the Shiki Kukai in December of 1997. |

| | The Weaving of Mantra; Kûkai and the Construction of Esoteric Buddhist Discourse; Ryûichi Abé |
| | "Abé has made a major contribution to our understanding of the figure of Kukai, of Esoteric Buddhism, of the political, intellectual and religious situation of the Nara and early Heian periods, and of our view of medieval Japanese Buddhism as a whole. | | | Not only will students of Kukai find ample riches to mine in this impressive magnum opus; it may serve also to stimulate important discussions in the fields of Japanese literary, religious, and political history." | | | The Weaving of Mantra provides a very lengthy, detailed, and substantial intellectual historical analysis of Kûkai...[T]his book is a monumental achievement that will fascinate students of Japanese religion and stimulate much discussion among historians." |

| | Several evenings we had a kukai, in which anonymous haiku from the day's experiences were read out loud and spread out on the table for further enjoyment. | | | This web site gathers several photographs and most of the haiku that were "born" at the Gordon Ranch kukai. | | | Following the kukai tradition, we agreed that a haiku selected as a favorite was born at that moment of being loved by a read. |
