Sanskrit & Buddhist deities -wishing something happy!

Bonji and Buddhist deities

Here we introduce Bonji (Sanskrit Seed) and Buddhist deities adopted as designs at PY Kobo.
At the end of this page, we will also introduce “Bonji (Sanskrit Seed) to choose by wishes” and “Recommended items”, so please refer to them when choosing items.

What is Bonji?

Bonji is a sacred character that represents Shinto and Buddha in one character. In a broad sense, it refers to the Brahmi script of ancient India, but in a narrow sense, it refers to Sanskrit. Also Sanskrit characters mean characters created by Brahma. In PY Kobo, Bonji means the Sanskrit characters.

A variant of the Siddha‐mātṛkā script developed from the Brahmi script was transmitted from China to Japan along with Buddhism. These Bonji characters are called “悉曇文字Shittan-moji” (Siddhaṃ script).　In India, the Devanagari script, which is more advanced than the Siddha‐mātṛkā script, is used today.

PY Kobo creates accessories and designs using Sanskrit characters, which are called the Siddhaṃ script. We introduce Buddhist deities, who are related in Sanskrit characters, and profits. By all means, please refer to them when choosing items.

Bonji (Sanskrit Seed) and Buddhist deities’ profits

There are more than 1,800 Buddhist deities in the mandala that has been handed down to Japan. Also there are NYORAI (Tathagata), BOSATSU (Bodhisattva), MYOOH (Kings of Mystical Knowledge), TENBU (Divine Beings), and other groups in the Buddhist deities.

Benefit is the blessings and good luck that deity and Buddha give to humans. Depending on your wishes, you may be recovering from sickness or fulfilling your studies. The Buddhist deities also have individualities, and the blessings they have given are truly diverse.

We introduce the main blessings of Buddhist deities, so that you can be more happy by knowing the Buddhist deities who give you benefits that match your wishes.
