Shakyo Followers of Shingon Buddhism often enjoy writing, tracing or copying the Hanya Shingyo, the most popular of Buddhist sutras. Calligraphers often enjoy writing the Hanya Shingyo; it is said that they can achieve great happiness in doing so.
		Ajikan Praying to Dainichi Nyorai (sometimes called the Space or Cosmic Buddha) is common practice in the Shingon faith. The base sound "ah" is often chanted when praying.
