Kōmyō Shingon is a Japanese Buddhist tradition rooted in the esoteric teachings of Shingon Buddhism, founded by Kobo Daishi (Kōbō Daishi) in the 9th century. It emphasizes ritual practices, meditative techniques, and the use of mandalas and mantras to attain enlightenment and connect with cosmic energies. Practitioners believe that through these practices, they can transform their inner selves and realize their true nature. Kōmyō Shingon aims to deepen spiritual understanding, promote healing, and foster harmony between individuals and the universe, blending symbolic rituals with philosophical teachings.
