	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Mikkyo
		Tendai Mikkyo is a total system of self-actualization made up of methods for quieting and centering the mind.
		Mikkyo is a solitary practice, not a religion.
		Mikkyo instruction, in general, takes place between Teacher (Sensei) and Disciple (Deshi). To undertake a commitment to a specific Teacher is to form a Karmic Link with that aspect of the Lineage known as Tendai. As Deshi, we are striving to authenticate the oral teachings as passed down over the ages in a protected fashion.

		“Is Mikkyo’s kuji-in the same as other martial arts?” While it may be enticing to properly compare the “borrowing” of lineage-based Kuji-in teachings amidst a variety of martial arts, both modern and ancient, my own limitations prevent me from even commenting to a learned degree on the question.
		Mikkyo by definition is an orally-transmitted lineage body of teachings, practices and interpretations of Japanese Buddhism.
		Without a sanctified initiation (or kanjo) within the specific method to be transmitted, traditional mikkyo theory is that the method, although understood and practiced in good faith, is of shallow efficacy.

	Mikkyo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mikkyo is a little-understood, yet often sensationalised, synergistic 'esoteric construct' which lies at the very core of Japanese Spirituality and Mysticism.
		Usually translated as: "Hidden", or "Secret" Teachings, Mikkyo is a "lineage tradition": meaning that, as well as instruction in the teachings and practices of the tradition, it also involves and requires "kanjo" enablements (initiatorial empowerment-transmissions) from a Master of the Mikkyo disciplines.
		The collection of teachings and practices that eventually came to be known as Mikkyo had its early beginnings in the esoteric traditions of India and China.

	Mudra in the Martial Arts
		Mikkyo makes moreuse of rituals and rites that go back to tantric sources, which some say predates Buddhism itself, and may even be as ancient as prehistoric magical shamanistic rites of Asia, as found in India, Tibet, China, Mongolia and Japan.
		Mikkyo may, in their minds, be another expression of a universal belief in a spiritual world.
		Other than seeing a mikkyo priest or a koryu practitioner perform a mudra, you may even see it in a cheesy Japanese ninja movie or the like, because in popular culture, ninja were like magicians in the eyes of common people.

		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.
		Mikkyo Teachings had been attracting monks all over Japan, even Saicho himself had briefly been dazzled by them.
		The trouble is that by mixing Mikkyo with the Lotus Sutra, he disregarded the egalitarian spirit of the a href="http://www.geocities.com/chris_holte/Buddhism/LotusSutra/index.html">Lotus Sutra which promises salvation for all mankind.

		Mikkyo is a little understood (even in Japan) form of Buddhism which lies at the very core of Japanese mysticism.
		Usually translated as: "Hidden" or "Secret" Teachings, Mikkyo had its early beginnings in the esoteric traditions of India, Tibet and China.
		However, it was in the early 9th Century that the formative concepts which would in time become the core of mainstream Mikkyo (Shingon and Tendai Buddhism) were brought to Japan initially by the monks Kukai (the founder of Shingon) and Saicho (the founder of Tendai) both of whom had travelled to China to study.

		Mikkyo meditation practice is the study of how to activate the mind's power to create reality.
		It is also true that when Hatsumi Sensei says, "You don't need Mikkyo," he is referring to professional minister training for Japanese temple-owner career clerics on Mt. Hiei or Mt. Koya, where archaic tradition is an elaborate political and cultural world unto itself.
		Mikkyo energy and spirit training with An-shu Stephen K. Hayes is a more appropriate experience for warrior aspirants.

	The British Shingon Buddhist Association (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Shingon Buddhism is a mystical (Mikkyo) teaching which seeks to awaken direct experience of Enlightenment through study and practice of the 'Three Mysteries' (called in Japanese the 'Sammitsu') of Body, Speech and Mind.
		In mainland Japan esoteric Buddhism (Mikkyo) is mainly run through two different groups, one founded by Kukai (Koyasan Tomitsu) and the other by Saicho (Tendai Taimitsu) as part of the Tendai teaching.
		In addition there are quite different mikkyo groups which have developed from the mountain ascetic teachings of the Yamabushi.

		When I asked someone to elaborate on it, I was asking if a mikkyo experienced practitioner was able to tell if mikkyo practice has some kind of direct relation with insight during meditation, i.e.
		Or whether, even though mikkyo and vipashyana don't exclude each other, they are to be cultivated separately.
		The practice of mikkyo has the same ultimate function as any vajrayana practice you might be familiar with from the Tibetan sphere.

	Shakuhachi Forum - World Shakuhachi Discussion / Zen and Mikkyo
		Now if we go on the Mikkyo side when we read their main sutras or dharanis we can see that special focus and attention is put on action rather than non action to reach realization.
		In China the Mikkyo and Kengyo teachings were always used at the same time and were not competing against each other like in Japan.
		I'm not denying Mikkyo's association with action, they seem to promote this means of realization much more than Zen, but it sounds like you may be comparing Soto Zen and Mikkyo.

		Tomitsu was the Mikkyo of Kukai {Kobo-Shingon Shu}& Saicho (Dengyo-Tendai Shu), though they diffeered on its relevance.
		Which Mikkyo Nichiren critiqued is not real clear, since he often called them all Shingon.
		One is that the Mikkyo of his environment was confused enough that the differences between Tomitsu and Taimitsu were small enough that he criticized them alike.

		The first point is "to have a correct understanding of the history of Mahayana to the birth of Mikkyo." Mahayana has a history of 1,400 to 1,500 years spanning the early, middle and late periods.
		To complement early and middle Mahayana, late Mahayana or Mikkyo was born.
		But Shakyamuni's shugyo-ho, which was incorporated in Mikkyo, gradually became stylized and was reduced to a mere formality.

		I idly asked a buddy if he knew anything about mikkyo and he obligingly came up with that info.
		They are trying to differentiate between later forms of Buddhism such as Zen and Jodo-shu which do not have much of mikkyo's complex and very involved ceremonies and dogma and teach a simpler ideology for a broader spectrum of people.
		You can research much more on mikkyo in any book on Japanese Buddhism or any book dealing with the early forms of Japanese Buddhism.

		Penney goes out of his way to explain why lineage is not important, he does make the vague claim that he teaches “the older form of Mikkyo which traces it’s lineage to Tathagata Mahavairocana (influenced mainly from the Paekche kingdom in Korea and China).
		Mikkyo is not the name of a Buddhist School in Japan, but simply the Japanese word for Esoteric Budhhism, of which there are two schools in Japan.
		There is no connection whatsoever in Japanese Mikkyo (either school) to the Paekche kingdom in Korea.

	Tendai Lotus Teachings
		Tendai Mikkyo would differentiate itself from Shingon doctrines in subtle means, later being referred to as Taimitsu (in contrast to the Shingon Tomitsu). What differentiates the two?
		Beyond mere academia, Taimitsu is a presentation of the Highest Unified Wisdom of Mahavairocana like none other. Seeing all facets of the Dharma, from the Lotus Sutra to the Renowned Diamond Sutra, as intrinsically and equally pervasive in our quest for highest awareness, Taimitsu is an original, highly functional Path to Realization.
		An accompanying commentary follows each ritual, allowing the practitioner to peer deeper within the symbolism of each ritual. These commentary teachings annotate the essence of the ritual itself and are instrumental in bringing about greater realization aligned with truthful esoteric practice.

	archimagazine - design - Dallo Zen al Mikkyo
		Il Giappone maturo non ama più i multicolori misteriosi del Mikkyo (Buddismo Esoterico), vuole credere solo a ciò che l’occhio vede (vuol vedere), vuole capire tutto con spietata logica razionale; capiva però che in fondo c’era il vuoto, il vuoto che noi sentiamo ancora oggi nella opulenza della società industriale avanzata;
		Mikkyo, ripeto, è l’ultima fase dell’evoluzione buddista, perfezionato e completato da Kukai(774-835) in un Giappone degli aristocratici che amavano i colori, le donne e le poesie, e sapevano che la metà del mondo é invisibile ma non vuota.
		I sostenitori di Mikkyo sapevano che il postulato di Aristotele sulla visibilità era limitato ed attraverso Mikkyo cercavano di "vedere" la parte invisibile.

		There as many as 81 variations to the Kuji-in in certain sects of Buddhism in Japan, to say nothing of other mudra that are also used.
		The kuji-in are a tool to be used in meditation, and are frequently over-simplified in popular culture as being a form of magic.
		Several characters in the manga and anime Inuyasha use incantations derived from Mikkyo Buddhism, and the kuji-in themselves actually make an appearance once or twice, for instance when Sukiyomi sealed her youkai lover Hoshiyomi.
