>>>One of the most important Indian Buddhist teachers of the 8th
century, Vajrabodhi, sailed to Sumatra in 717 AD, and then to Java
where he met a Sri Lankan monk named Amoghavajra who had come to Java
on a visit with his uncle, a trader. Amoghavajra became Vajrabodhi's
pupil and accompanied him to China in 719 AD. They stayed in China
until Vajrabodhi died in 741 AD.<<<

Hanmi means Chinese Esotericism or Chinese Buddhist Mystery School.
The Buddhist masters assimilated the prevailing teaching of
Confucianism and Taoism, and evolved the teaching into Hanmi, which
was easier to be understood by the people. The Chinese Esoteric
School predates the Tibetan Esoteric School, or Lamaism. Hanmi
School, being forced underground for over twelve hundred years, is
not as well known as Lamaism.

Hanmi School was founded between 716 to 720 AD during the reign of
emperor Tang Xuanzong (or Hsuan Tsung) by the Three Great Founders,
Subhakarasimha, Vajrabodhi,
and Amoghavajra. They came to the Daxing Temple in today's Xian City
and translated many buddhist sutras and tantras.

According to the Shingon tradition, the Yugikyப் explains the deep
meaning of the "Non-Duality of the Two Sections" (Ryப்bu Funi), a
central Shingon tenet(22). This interpretation of the text became the
basis for the construction of a unique Japanese stள்pa, the Yugitப்
built in 870 near the Ryள்kப்in (or Chள்in) on Mt. Kப்ya(23). The term
ryப்bu refers to the two complementary aspects of the ultimate
reality: the Taizப் (Skt. Garbha, "Womb") and the Kongப்kai (Skt.
Vajradhபூtu, "Vajra Realm").

!!!!The Taizப் represents the enlightened universe from the viewpoint
of compassion and is symbolised by the lotus. Kongப்kai represents the
realm of knowledge in which illusion and passion are crushed. It is
symbolised by the vajra ("thunderbolt", "diamond") which is
indestructible like diamond and which destroys all delusion. In
Shingon these two aspects are considered as a unity.!!!!
(குகைமணி வெற்றிவேலர் கதையேயிது! -குமார்)

The Taizப் and Kongப்kai are represented graphically respectively in
the Taizப்mandara and the Kongப்kaimandara, the two main mandalas in
Shingon Buddhism(24). These mandalas depict the teachings of the two
fundamental Indian texts of Shingon: respectively the
Vairocanபூbhisambodhi and the Tattvasamgraha. In Shingon, these two
mandalas are pictorial representations of the two complementary
aspects of the ultimate reality. This reality is embodied in
Vairocana (Dainichi), also known as Mahபூvairocana in the Sino-
Japanese tradition.

Esoteric Buddhism emerged during the last period of the development
of Buddhism in India, and from relatively early times the eastward
movement of Buddhism brought sutras associated with it into China via
Central Asia. These early works represented miscellaneous esoteric
Buddhism, with their incorporation of magical elements from folk
religion or old esotericism.

With the development of the southern sea route to China by Muslim
traders in the seventh century, texts of pure esoteric Buddhism, or
new esotericism, began to be imported to China directly from the
center of esoteric Buddhism, southern India. Esoteric Buddhism was
initially introduced to China by Vajrabodhi, who arrived by sea at
Canton in 720, and by Shubhakarasimha, who had arrived by the inland
route four years earlier, in 716.

Esoteric Buddhism after the time of these two masters is commonly
known as the new stream, and was more organized than the older type.
It was, in fact, Shubhakarasimha who translated both the Great Sun
Sutra and the Matitra of Akashagarbha into Chinese. There was nothing
strange, therefore, in Kukai's wish to go to China and receive
tuition in the deeper meaning of certain aspects of the Great Sun
Sutra.

!!Kukai died on Mount Koya on April 23, 835, and it is believed that
even now he remains in eternal samadhi in his bodily form within the
inner shrine on the mountain. This belief also is a legacy of the
burning admiration felt for him by the people as a whole.!!
