Topic: Daishi


In the News (Tue 29 Dec 09)

  
  Daishi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daishi (大師) is a Japanese word which means great and/or silent master.
The closest English translation for the word in this case would be a "great teacher." Two well known recipients are Kūkai (or Kōbō Daishi) and Saichō (or Dengyō Daishi), the founders of the Shingon and Tendai Buddhist sects, respectively.
The BattleTech universe and its related MechWarrior game series have popularized the word Daishi as the Inner Sphere moniker for the Dire Wolf class OmniMech, albeit with the syllable shi in a different context, meaning "death" instead of "teacher." The Daishi is one of the most powerful Mech's in the game.

 Kobo Daishi
Kobo Daishi studied esoteric Buddhism from the successors of the Tang-dynasty monk Bu Kong.
Renshaw and Ihara refer to the story that Kobo Daishi may have misheard the Samarkand word for 'Sunday, 'Meeruu', as 'secret day', with the result that Sunday continued to be called Mitsu (meaning 'esoteric' or 'secret') for a large part of Japan's history.
Kobo Daishi was concerned about a 'secret day' as the seven days of the week were important for astrological purposes.

 The Story of Koyasan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
While Kobo Daishi was in China, the Emperor, hearing of his fame required him to rewrite the name of a room in the Royal Palace, the original inscription having become faded.
As he was still in China, Kobo Daishi threw his sanko (three-pronged thunderbolt) into the air, and it vanished with the speed of lightening in the direction of Japan, where it was later found in the top branches of a tree growing near the crest of Mt. Koya.
Daito is the symbol of the Buddha Vairocana, the fundamental basis of the doctrine of the Shingon Sect.

 Tales of Kobo Daishi - Pack Carnes
Kobo Daishi is known among Buddhist scholars usually as Kukai, a name he gave himself upon becoming a monk.
Kobo Daishi (Kobo means roughly "spreading the teachings [of Buddha]"; Daishi means Great Teacher) is his posthumous name and the name by which he is known to all of Japan.
Kobo Daishi (hereafter Kobo) is now so ingrained into Japanese folklore that his name is heard in virtually every sort of traditional form: proverbs, legends, tall stories, didactic tales, and even jokes.

 Paper: Hiroshi Tanaka Shimazaki
The association of Kobo Daishi with the pilgrimage is clearly evident in the landscape.
Daishido, the building dedicated to Kobo Daishi, are found at all eighty-eight temples and statues of Kobo Daishi, kuyoto erected in his honour, and trees and stones with which legend has associated him are also frequently fou nd within the compounds.
The significance of the association of the pilgrim places with Kobo Daishi manifest in geographic features, together with the acknowledgement of this association by pilgrims through their behaviour, is one important element in th e distinctiveness of the pilgrimage.

 Daruma Daishi Story
Of course Daruma Daishi was disappointed, but through his own understanding, he realized that it was not yet the right time for the people to understand.
Daruma Daishi replied, "You are ready." He took the man's arm and placed it back where it had been severed, covering it with his hand.
After a few days Daruma Daishi's head was removed from the pole and, along with his body and modest posessions, was buried.

 International Seminar: PILGRIMAGE AND COMPLEXITY
Tradition holds that the Shikoku pilgrimage was established by K_b_ Daishi, a late eighth/early ninth century priest who founded the esoteric Shingon Mikky_ sect of Buddhism and a "cultural hero" who introduced many new ideas, technolog ies and practices after a period of study in China (Hasuo).
K_b_ Daishi was born on Shikoku; it is not surprising, therefore, that it was here that a pilgrimage associated with him developed.
The strengthening of the ties between the eighty-eighty places and K_b_ Daishi is perhaps partially the outcome of a deliberate effort on the part of the Association of the S hikoku Scared Places.

 Kobo Daishi
Kobo Daishi was a contemporary of Dengyo Daishi, founder of Japanese Tendai Buddhism at Mt. Hiei in Japan.
But Kobo Daishi himself had not taken three years to master this teaching as he had only been in China the same amount of time as Saicho had been, and could not possibly have taken three years.
In the Nanzen article, when Dengyo Daishi asked Kobo Daishi how long it would take for him to master the higher level of the Abisekhas that Kobo had promised to transmit to him he was told it would take at least two years.

 Mt. Koya : Introduction | Frommers.com
Kobo Daishi was a charismatic priest who had spent 2 years in China studying Esoteric Buddhism before returning to his native land to spread his teachings among the Japanese.
His followers believe Kobo Daishi is not dead but simply in a deep state of meditation, awaiting the arrival of the last bodhisattva (Buddha messiah).
Through the centuries, many of Kobo Daishi's followers, wishing to be close at hand when the great priest awakens, have had huge tombs or tablets constructed close to Kobo Daishi's mausoleum, and many have had their ashes interred here.

In the meantime, unless that Daishi pilot is drunk, he should be able to hit the Cauldron Born back and kill it.
The Daishi, like most Daishi configurations, didn't have the heat sinks to adequately cool her weapons so was limited in what she could throw at the C-B. Also, due to some bad rolls, the Daishi kept falling over.
THe next three rounds were spent by the Daishi stomping on her, since she couldn't shoot the C-B. Finally a foot was interred into the C-Bs engine and it was game over.

 Jikaku Daishi
Dengyo had aborted his pursuit of Mikkyo Teachings upon realizing that Kobo Daishi had no intentions of honoring his promise to propagate the Lotus Sutra teachings as he and Kobo had promised each other, but that Kobo Daishi felt that his teachings could only be mastered by years of in depth personal training.
Dengyo Daishi during the early 800's had even been willing to become Kobo Daishi's disciples in order to receive the transmission of the Shingon Dharma.
But he probably was one of the monks who accompanied Dengyo to visit Kobo Daishi in 812 CE to receive Shingon initiation into the two Mandalas.
