Mikkyo

Mikkyo is a form of Japanese esoteric Buddhism that emphasizes secret teachings, rituals, and symbols to deepen spiritual understanding. Practitioners believe that through specific practices, such as sacred chants, gestures (mudras), and meditation, they can access hidden spiritual truths and attain enlightenment. It often involves initiation and the use of mystical tools to connect with divine energies. Mikkyo is practiced mainly within certain Buddhist sects, like Shingon, aiming to transform the practitioner's consciousness and foster a direct, experiential connection with the spiritual realm.
