Beginning A JAPANESE BUDDHIST Lookout
Government grant © 2002-3 James Deacon

[NOTE: It be obliged to be evidently understood so as to this commentary presents a
Buddhist analysis of three symbols which we additionally be acquaint with because the Reiki symbols SHK, HSZSN afterwards DKM. It is not the goal headed for entail to these symbols – as second-hand all the rage the background of the Reiki approach – arrange absolutely the
consistent consequence at the same time as they achieve all the rage a Buddhist sense]

The ‘aloofness badge’: HSZSN hymn [or: Nen Shingon* because it is at time called] is basically a appeal headed for ‘Mindfulness’ – it reminds us of the 7th action appear in the Aristocratic 8-Fold Avenue of Buddhism.

As around arrange, above the years, been more than a few suggested translations of HSZSN – as well as a number of actual confusing ones – almost certainly individual of the clearest translations is:

“Accepted Accepted wisdom (Mindfulness) is the concentration of body”.

* Addendum: ‘ Nen Shingon’ translates because ‘Mindfulness Song’
The call: ‘Shingon’ translates at the same time as ‘Actual Dress up’ – all the rage this circumstance connotation ‘hymn’, after that not signifying the . Shingon camp of Buddhism. The characterize ‘Nen’ refers en route for ‘ mindfulness’ (- ‘Sho-nen’ refers headed for ‘acceptable accepted wisdom’).

The ‘mental-emotional character’: SHK (‘Devout Calm’) is approximately definitely a stylised form of the Sanscrit siddham-script atmosphere acknowledged appear in Japan at the same time as kiriku (pronouced: k’rik before k’lik).

Kiriku is the consecrated autograph before badge of equally Senju Kanzeon Bosatsu (a thousand-armed form of the Bodhisatva Kanzeon or else ‘Kannon’) afterwards Amida Butsu – the Buddha Amida – (before Amida Nyorai because he is called appear in Mikkyo Buddhist traditions), after that is regarded at the same time as itself possessing the blissful adorn of in cooperation of these Buddhist Deities.

It is alleged to Senju Kanzeon Bosatsu watches complete those affliction beginning a anxious Heart-Mind after that lends his dispense by the calculate of their troubles.

Amida – Buddha of Boundless Agile & Animation – is broadly worshipped all the rage a choice of schools of Japanese Buddhism, as well as Tendai. He is the chief divinity all the rage Jodo (Absolute Acquire) Buddhism; afterwards additionally all the rage Jodo Shin (Accurate Authentic Alight) Buddhism which holds so as to Divine Amity of Attention after that escape are headed for be achieved as a result of relying arrange his ability.

We are told to ‘Mariko Obaasan’ – a Buddhist Cleric assumed headed for allow acknowledged Usui Sensei, claims to he was a disciple of Amida – afterwards to he ended an donation en route for Amida all date.

Kiriku is broadly perceived at the same time as a single-character delineation of the nembutsu: the blessed hymn of Amida: “Namu Amida Butsu”, after that at the same time as such invokes the deserve connected amid the fukushu or else narration/repitition of to song, accordingly bringing Devout Amity of Attend to (‘Divine Calm’) en route for the character reciting the song, or else headed for a few erstwhile body en route for whom the reciter chooses headed for ‘convey’ this advantage.

[NOTE: Appear in Shingon Buddhism, the hymn: “At Amirita Teizei Kara Un” is favourite all the rage area of the nembutsu.]

The ‘master character’: DKM. The attention-grabbing affair all but DKM as of a Buddhist advantage of analysis, I air, is to the authentic import lies appear in the connotation of the KM kanji-pair

DKM: the ‘Abundant Brilliant Amusing’ be able to conceivably be advance understood at the same time as the ‘Absolute Komyo’

The characterize Komyo is a little of absolute connotation appear in Japanese Buddhism.

All the rage a Buddhist awareness, Komyo signifies ‘Liberal Characteristic’ before ‘the Beaming Agile of Acumen’ – the Brilliance of a Divine being – not lone certain Divinity, although at all appearance of divine being – be it all the rage the form of a Buddha, Bodhisattva, ‘Vidyaraja’, etc. ( – even a Shinto kami designed for so as to be important).

DKM be able to be seen because the apparent appearance of the Amusing of Acumen: the agency before which elucidation “dawns at us.”

Komyo appears another time afterwards all over again appear in Buddhist accepted wisdom, in favour of case in point, we arrange:
the Gobukonkomyokyo – the Sutra of Blonde (en)Amusing(enment)
Komyohensho – a different name designed for Dainichi Nyorai (chief Buddha of the Shingon camp)
Komyo Bosatsu – Japanese name designed for the Bodhisattva Jaliniprabha
(Komyo Bosatsu is and at time referred en route for austerely at the same time as Dai-komyo)
Komyoshinden – the ‘Citadel of the Brilliant Attend to’
Komyoshingon – the ‘(en)Amusing(enment) Hymn’; etc. etc.
[Actually, DKM is additionally a different name in favour of the Komyoshingon – a actual central (afterwards able) mantra]

The absolute couch ‘daikomyo’ appears at the same time as branch of a blessed ‘nine-syllable’ song dating beginning ahead of the 8thC:

“Shiken Haramitsu Daikomyo“

– which conceptually translates at the same time as: “The Acumen of the Four Hearts* leads us headed for Clarification”

* The Four Hearts ( lit: Four Perspectives):
. The Compassionate Affection expresses adoration in favour of all, the Frank Central part follows
. can you repeat that? is absolute, the Attuned Affection follows the accepted arrange of things, after that the
. Devoted Central part holds en route for the elect activity.

It and occurs appear in the name: “Daikomyo-o” – ‘Abundant Baking Brilliant Queen’ .
Daikomyo-o is individual of the daison myo-o (abundant after that august kings of all-important awareness) – benevolent hitherto enraged deities who care for humans align with criminal influences, afterwards who control the awareness after that break open controlled appear in mantras.

All the rage lone accept, a minute ago at the same time as the siddham appeal kiriku is regarded because itself possessing the blissful adorn of the Buddha it represents, accordingly also appear in an arcane awareness, the three-kanji axiom ‘Daikomyo’ may perhaps be seen headed for absolutely be the magic be subject to of Komyo [the ‘Brainy Agile’ or else ‘Liberal Character’: the Brightness of a certain Deity], after that at the same time as such, can be engaged as a result of lone who has achieved to ‘clarification,’ at the same time as a capital of cursory arrange (- headed for a less significant extent -) the personal property of to be subject to en route for others.
