- 大空
- The great void, or the Mahāyāna parinirvāṇa, as being more complete and final than the nirvāṇa of Hīnayāna. It is used in the Shingon sect for the great immaterial or spiritual wisdom, with its esoteric symbols; its weapons, such as the vajra; its (sa) samādhis; its sacred circles, or (sa) maṇḍalas, etc. It is used also for space, in which there is neither east, west, north, nor south.
