Chinese esoteric Buddhism

Post by Javierfv1212 »

I recently spent some time editing this article (its a hobby of mine).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Esoteric_Buddhism

My main source was : Orzech, Charles D. (ed) (2011). Esoteric Buddhism and the Tantras in East Asia.

Just thought you guys might be interested. Also if you guys have any feedback or notice glaring errors let me know. I am not exactly an expert on Zhenyan/Shingon
It is quite impossible to find the Buddha anywhere other than in one's own mind.
A person who is ignorant of this may seek externally,
but how is it possible to find oneself through seeking anywhere other than in oneself?
Someone who seeks their own nature externally is like a fool who, giving a performance in the middle of a crowd, forgets who he is and then seeks everywhere else to find himself.
— Padmasambhava

The source you cited is pretty much state-of-the field. You might have included more than one sentence on Korean Esoteric Buddhism, but this is definitely a cut above a lot of Wiki articles, IMHO.
