	Buddhist Channel \| Dharma Dew \| The Buddhist mantra
		Buddhist Mantra in Shingon Buddhism Kukai (Kukai was a Japanese monk, scholar, artist and calligrapher, founder of the Shingon or "True Word" school of Buddhism) advanced a general theory of language based on his analysis of two forms of Buddhist ritual language: dharani and mantra.
		Kukai made mantra a special class of dharani which showed that every syllable of a dharani was a manifestation of the true nature of reality — in Buddhist terms that all sound is a manifestation of shunyata or emptiness of self-nature.
		One of Kukai's distinctive contributions was to take this symbolic association even further by saying that there is no essential difference between the syllables of mantras and sacred texts, and those of ordinary language.
