[jkirk]

Alas, I can't read these scripts, but on the same bunch of flikr images this charming vernacular shrine appeared:

An internet buddy has shown me some pics of what seems to be a Korean form of Siddhaṃ writing. Some of the characters I can read, but others are a mystery. It could be a mantra, or maybe just a string of bīja. Does anyone here know anything about Korean Siddhaṃ or something similar?

The pics are here if anyone is interested:

There's also a Chinese form of writing Siddhaṃ (or perhaps Lantsa) which I have copied here for a couple of bīja:
