Camellia Tea CeremonyNo-one is quite sure when or why Daimonji was created.
It is possible that Kūkai inspired a later, permanent fixture, by ending a plague 808 with bonfires arranged in the shape '大'.
He built these on the charred ruins of Jōdō-ji, where Amida had been seen rising from the flames.
SydneyJim#Kūkai studied esoteric #Mikkyō #Buddhism in China, blending it with native #Japanese #Shintō culture to form #Shingon. #Saichō, founder of #Tendai in #Japan, studied Tiantai but reshaped it for the #Japanese context. Each of these figures inherited teachings, but they transformed them. They weren’t trying to preserve a glass museum exhibit. They were bringing practice to life, making it speak to their time.

Steve McCarty 🇯🇵The Kashihara shrine (橿原神宮) area of Nara is a cradle of Japanese civilization formerly known as Yamato. I especially didn't want to miss the archaeological museum, so a couple of its treasures are included here. The shrine is dedicated to the legendary first Emperor Jimmu (神武天皇). The Buddhist temple Kumedera (久米寺) near Kashihara Jingū is a Shingon temple, but it predates the founder Kūkai. It was where Kūkai found the indecipherable Mahāvairocana Sūtra (大日経) that justified his precious voyage to Chang'an, as I alluded recently in the journal paper "Translation Issues in the Rapid Transmission of Esoteric Buddhism from India to China to Japan" at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/371965557
