It is a part of the daily practice of the majutsushi or magic practitioner.
The Dai Kongou is to put it in other terms akin to a "bindrune" of sorts.
It is meant to be drawn by the practitioner. Of course one can use a printout to get started.
It also helps to define each kanji symbol. I have included an illustration of it.
The left and right columns are labeled - the center column is the Dai Kongou formula.
The Dai Kongou practice consists in invoking various spiritual forces and concepts that have been previously empowered in the user.
Anyone can do the practice of the Dai Kongou In, without implicating themselves in the learning process of all its components. There are great benefits gained simply by chanting the Dai Kongou mantra, while thinking about its basic interpretation.
However, the practitioner that learns and practices the nine kuji-in, the four couscious states and the five elements, will not only gain blessings. They will also develop subtle abilities of various intensity and effect, depending on each person and the level of their implication.
Dai Kongou is also the name of the mantra. Dai Kongou In is the name of the seal, the image with many Japanese kanji. When someone only chants the mantra with no seal, you are practicing Dai Kongou. When someone chants the mantra in front of the seal, contemplating its various aspects, we say that he is practicing Dai Kongou In.
The mantra is: Dai Kongou Butsu Shiyou.
It means: Great Indestructible Buddha Radiation.
The simple recitation of this mantra brings subtle blessings to the user, even without understanding the mechanics behind it, if the user simply knows the meaning of the mantra. Of course it is better one chants the Dai Kongou, with voice or simply kept in mind.
A more efficient practice is when the user also learns the basic meaning of all the symbols, and practices daily in front of a seal.
