Japanese.  "School of the True Word [mantra]"; school of esoteric Buddhism founded by Kukai (Kobo Daishi), 774-835.  Kukai studied the teachings of the Mi-tsung in China and systematized them in Shingon.  The "School of the True Word" places especially great importance on the "three secrets" (body, speech, mind).  Every person possesses these three functions, all of which harbor secrets that lead to the attainment of buddhahood.

The rituals connected with the three secrets are passed orally from teacher to disciple in Shingon; this represents a considerable difference from the schools of Buddhism intended for the general public.  According to the view of the Shingon school, these esoteric teachings were expounded as absolute truth by Vairochana, the cosmic buddha, and only the initiated can learn to understand them.  Vairochana, who is the central buddha of the school, is the universe itself, without beginning or end.  He manifests himself through the perfect harmony of the six elements: earth, water, fire, air, space, and consciousness.

Shingon School The Shingon (Tantric) tradition of Mahayana Buddhism arose in India in approximately the 6th century AD, although its roots go back many hundreds of years before that. It, too, adopted the position that none of the Hinayana (and now none of the Mahayana) was to be rejected.
