Koyasan Seizanji Temple
practicing esoteric Shingon Buddhism
Shingon Buddhism is an esoteric/密教 practice which aims for 'individual enlightenment'. The practice follows Buddha's teachings and is guided by a master.
Founded by the well-travelled monk, Kukai, Shingon Buddhism traditionally revolves around mandalas (diagrams), mudras (hand gestures) and mantra recitation. The practice demands repetition, deep patience and purposeful suffering towards enlightenment; the acceptance of everything.
