Kuukai and the Rishukyo: It’s meaningless- This guy is an idiot (Esoteric Buddhism-1)

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.

I noticed Yang Guifei mats mentioned Kukai do you have any guesses who would be his writer if he ever becomes a servant?

Kuukai is mentioned only in Hukusai's trial quest, Guifei's mats, and Guifei's Interlude. 100% Meteo ratio so far.

人間は百年

会社の日めくりカレンダーをふと見たら、日にちの下に格言のような言葉が書かれていることに気づきました。それは以下のようなものでした。

「山川は長くして萬世也 人は短くして百年なり」

　空海774～835平安初期の僧

気になったので読みと意味を調べてみることに。

まず読みですが、‘山川’は’さんせん’と読むようです。’萬世’は’ばんせい’のようです。

次に意味です。

ざっくりいうと、「自然は終わりがないが、人には終わりがくる」といったかんじです。・・・こんなにざっくりだと何もかんじませんかそうですか。

空海さんのいいたいことは何だったのでしょうか。皆さんはこの言葉を、どう解釈しますか？
