[Buddha-l] An Elucidation of Kukai's 'World-Text'

[jkirk]

 ?This same description is found no matter where/how I search. At least with 
my search skills.

"Kukai held, along with the Hua-yen (Jp. Kegon) school that all phenomena 
were 'letters' in a 'world-text'. Mantra, mudra, and mandala are special 
because they constitute the 'language' through which the Dharmakaya (ie 
Reality itself) communicates. Although portrayed through the use of 
anthropomorphic metaphors."

Fascinating------maybe like the "plant signatures" concept of homeopathy.
Looks like Kukai was the first semiologist.
