He is one of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas of Vajrayana. and one of the thirteen Buddhas of the Japanese Shingon tantric school. Its name is a form of ?k??a, “unlimited space”, and garbha, “matrix”. invoked to develop wisdom. His cult has been maintained mainly in Japan. ?k??agarbha represents the essence of ether and belongs to the mandalas of the ratna (jewel) family. According to the Akashagarbha Sutra, it is prayed towards the east while waiting for dawn (aru?a) which is its manifestation. The moon, sun and stars are also said to be its manifestations. Given that part of his name can have the meaning of "sky", some have proposed to see a celestial or stellar deity at the origin of the bodhisattva. This bodhisattva is associated with a memory-enhancing ritual described in the Bodhisattva ?k??agarbha Sutra which was introduced to Japan during the Nara period (645-794). Even today, many people recite his mantra in the hope of revitalizing a failing memory. On the island of Honshu, children used to pay homage to Kokuzo on their thirteenth birthday to request the improvement of their intellectual abilities. We also pray to ?k??agarbha to obtain manual skill; he is considered the patron saint of craftsmen. Apart from its utilitarian aspects, Kok?zo's mantra also has a spiritual effect. It is recited to develop wisdom. Kukai, founder of Shingon Buddhism, made several times his particular asceticism, "the Goumanji" ritual of 100 days consisting in repeating the mantra a million times in isolation. At the end of the 10th, it is said that the dawn star, symbolized by the bodhisattva, descended to merge with him, bringing him enlightenment. Last on the list of Thirteen Buddhas of the True Word stream, ?k??agarbha also closes the cycle of funeral rituals by presiding over the last commemorative ceremony 32 years after the death. ?k??agarbha also has some significance in Nichiren Buddhism. The Seicho-ji (Kiyosumi-dera), temple where the founder of the current studied, was built around a statue of this bodhisattva. According to the Gosho, a collection of his writings, Nichiren saw Kokuzo one day appear before him and then change into an old monk who gave him a pearl of wisdom. RefAAA
