Shingon Ritsu

Shingon Ritsu is a Japanese Buddhist tradition that combines two main elements: Shingon, a form of esoteric Buddhism emphasizing meditation, ritual, and mystical practices, and Ritsu, emphasizing disciplined monastic codes and ethical conduct. Together, they aim to promote spiritual awakening while maintaining moral discipline. Practitioners often engage in complex rituals, chanting, and meditation to deepen their understanding of the Buddha's teachings, seeking enlightenment and inner harmony. This tradition is rooted in preserving both esoteric wisdom and strict monastic discipline, fostering a balanced approach to spiritual development and ethical behavior.
