### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A comprehensive, accessible look at Kukai and Shingon
  

*by D***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 27, 2011*

Kukai, more commonly known in Japan as "Kobo Daishi" or just "Odaishisama" is one of the pre-eminent figures in Japanese Buddhist history.  His life and his work are still the stuff of legend in contemporary Japanese culture, as well as the Buddhist world there.  What makes Kukai such an extraordinary figure was his talent for grasping difficult Buddhist teachings, but eloquently teaching them to a wide variety of people through his writings and through the esoteric rituals in Shingon Buddhism.Books on Kukai in English are few and often scholarly, and difficult to read, but Professor Hakeda's book is a look both at the life and accomplishments of Kukai, an overview of his teachings, but also translated samples of his writings.  The history and teaching sections alone are interesting, and worth a read, but it's also a great opportunity to read Shingon Buddhist writings that are otherwise very difficult hard to find outside of Japan.  Kukai was a master of esoteric Buddhism, so at times his writings can seem very obtuse (hence the need for training under a reputable Shingon priest in good-standing), but other times his writings are brilliantly Buddhist and really speak to important matters.For those looking for a broad overview of Kukai and his teachings, this is a great place to start.

    Brilliant biography on Kukai
  

*by G***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 2, 2009*

I'm currently researching famous Japanese figures for a novel I'm writing.  I purchased a few books focused on Kukai and Shingon Buddhism and this was definitely the most informative in getting a real understanding of Kukai, Shingon Buddhism, and the impact Kukai made upon Japan.  The book is very thorough and feels incredibly authentic.  Kukai made such a huge impact on Japan and it's sad that most of the western world does not even know he existed.  This book was easy to pick up and read.  Even one who barely understands Buddhism in general could benefit from this book, though it does go in-depth for the more experienced reader/researcher.
