All Jewerly Spiritual

Description Of Form   He appears gentle with a shaven head, and is depicted as a sravaka disciple, that is, a monk who has left his home. In his right hand Jizô holds a shakujô stick with six rings and by shaking this he awakens us from our deluded dreams. In his left hand he holds a mani jewel, which signifies that he bestows treasures and wealth on all beings. Purpose and Vow There are very few Buddhist deities which are as popular as Jizô in Japan. Anywhere one travels in Japan, one sees his smiling face on the roadside, at crossroads, on high mountains passes or at the entrance to old graveyards, the six forms of Ksitigarbha (Jizô) are enshrined. The six forms of Jizô are each responsible for the  Six Paths of Transmigration  : hells, hungry ghosts, beasts, demons, human beings, and heavenly beings. They all vow to save people from sufferings and disasters.The vows and protective amulets of Ksitigarbha (Jizô) Bodhisattva lend power to those who are weak, such as children who are caught between the worlds of life and death, are in dangerous places, or are in desolate spots. In Shingon Buddhism, the Sanskrit letter  A is written above the posthumous Buddhist name on the memorial tablet of an adult who has died, but when young children die, the Sanskrit letter  Ka , which stands for Ksitigarbha, is written. This signifies that the powerless child is saved and is enabled to become a buddha. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva does not get angry or give up even though he may be trampled upon and stepped on as if he were the earth. He is a Bodhisattva who has an inexhaustible store of power to nurture and save all beings with a mind of great compassion. Mantra   On kakaka bisanmaei sowaka (Jpn.) Om ha-ha-ha vismaye svâhâ (Skt.)

Description Of Form Kokûzô Bodhisattva appears with a wish-granting gem (Cintâmani or Nyoihôshu), by means of which he bestows worldly blessings on all beings. This jewel represents joy and virtue. In his right hand he carries a sharp sword which represents wisdom. Purpose and Vow Kôbô Daishi was able to encounter Esoteric Buddhism in his youth by praying to Kokûzô Bodhisattva, reciting his mantra a million times, and practicing the physical and mental discipline of the Kokûzô Gumonji method, the Kokûzô ritual that he learned from his master Gonzô. This was the reason that he practiced this method on Mt. Tairyu in Awa province and at Cape Muroto in Tosa province, and decided to leave home to become a monk. Since Kokûzô is the great wisdom of the Buddha that exists throughout the entire universe, he has the virtue of enabling those who chant his mantra, form his mudras, discipline themselves to a strict regimen, and practice this Gumonji method to obtain the wisdom of the Buddha and become enlightened. Kôbô Daishi embodied the wisdom of Kokûzô Bodhisattva into himself, and became the Bodhisattva of the Three Realms. In addition to wisdom, Kokûzô Bodhisattva grants good fortune.

Description Of Form There are many different forms or images of the Maitreya, yetmany of these forms of Maitreya hold a stupa, in his crown. This contains a  sarira  or real relic of the Buddha Sâkyamuni. In the Shingon Tradition, it is taught that this stupa represents Mahâvairocana Buddha. Purpose and Vow Maitreya Bodhisattva is the buddha who saves the world of the future. Sâkyamuni was born in this world 2,500 years ago and preached the teachings of salvation for all humanity. After the passage of 5,670,000,000 years into the future after the death of Sâkyamuni, Maitreya Bodhisattva will appear in the world and save all beings who have lost their way. At that time, a flower known as the Dragon Blossom will bloom, and Maitreya Bodhisattva will convene a gathering three times to preach the teachings and save the world. This is referred to as the Three Gatherings of the Dragon Blossom.  Another name for Maitreya Bodhisattva is Jishi Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva of compassion, and this is because he expresses his vow to save all beings in the world with a mind of compassion. Kôbô Daishi is in the Tusita Heaven, which is the pure land of Maitreya Bodhisattva, and he guarantees Maitreya’s vow, having attained salvation in this present world. It is for this reason that Kôbô Daishi is said to grant salvation during the time between the death of Sâkyamuni and the appearance of Maitreya, and is a source of great spiritual light as the Bodhisattva between these two Buddhist deities.
