KūKai, Founder Of Japanese Shingon Buddhism: Portraits Of His Life, Ronald S. Green
Philosophy and Religious Studies
2003 dissertation, UW-Madison, Buddhist Studies. A study of the life of the Kūkai (774-822), known posthumously by the honorific title Kōbō Daishi (Great Teacher who Propagated the Dharma).

These writings show that Kūkai was involved in a variety of social activities. In some instances I have attempted to understand the socio-political intention of Kūkai’s biographers, his followers …
