Kuukai and the Rishukyo: It’s meaningless- This guy is an idiot (Esoteric Buddhism-1)
Tumblr media
The sect that Kuukai founded is a major sect of esoteric Buddhism called Shingon Buddhism, and its temples are scattered throughout Japan. One time, I went to see a Shingon sect festival in my area. One word: gorgeous! It was a truly spectacular ceremony that made effective use of lanterns.
Now, after looking at it and thinking about it, I concluded that it was "too gorgeous!!" The Shingon sect seems to hold extravagant festivals without exception. Looking back, the scene when Kukai received the transmission ceremony from his master Huiguo in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty where esoteric Buddhism was popular, can only be described as gorgeous. Surrounded by brightly colored ornaments, Kukai threw flowers at the Buddhas, and childishly, the Buddha would unite with the guardian deity of the Buddha whom he had thrown. He became a Tathagata.
If you want to convey the state of enlightenment, a more modest ceremony should be sufficient. Not doing so seems like a desire to "protect the nation," a desire to bypass personal salvation (enlightenment) and become involved in the fate of the nation. Shingon Buddhism is the perfect way to demonstrate the power of the nation. In other words, it's a "bluff".
Another point of contention is the strange description of Rishukyo, one of the fundamental scriptures of the Shingon sect. What it says is that when a young man and woman get to know each other, love develops, and they embrace each other with feelings that reach heaven, they are at the ``bodhisattva level'' (purity). In normal Buddhism, romantic feelings between men and women are usually excluded, so the description in the Rishūkyō stands out.
When it comes to human love, it's normal for two people to end up on the other side, and the scary situation of a love triangle often occurs. The moment a loved one of the opposite sex is abducted by someone of the same sex, the person concerned falls into hell instead of heaven. A bodhisattva quickly turns into a sinner in hell. As someone who has experienced this bitter love triangle, I declare that the Rishukyo sutra is falsehood. Kuukai is an idiot who made this the basic scripture.

Greed is the source of the power to live, and it is the energy that moves our lives. However, there are times when you are at the mercy of greed. There are hints about how to deal with greed in the teachings of Esoteric Buddhism. In Rishukyo, rather than denying greed, the emphasis is on how to use that energy. As the phrase "cleanness of greed" shows, greed is pure and cloudy depending on the state of the heart. Dainichi Nyorai conveys the teaching that we are close to our suffering and turn greed into mercy. In daily life, asking yourself, "Is this really necessary?" will change the way you face greed. By polishing our greed, we have the power to turn self-centered thoughts into kindness. The teachings of Buddhism are close to us who live in the present and encourage mental growth.
