According to Kobo Daishi view of the world, everything in the Universe
is a manifestation of the universal Life Force of Dainichi Nyorai Maha-virochana
Buddha who embodies the essence of the Universe and the absolute truth.
All things from the spiritual world of onlightenment, to the world of material
things share in this Life Force in an endless interrelationship that freely
merges individual existences together.
The true charactristics of this Life Force and the wisdom world of Dainichi
Nyorai are expressed through pictures known as Mandala. |
