Mi-tsung. ‘School of Secrets’, Tantric school of Chinese Buddhism. It was brought to China from India in the 8th cent. CE, by three masters, including Śubhākarasimha who translated the Mahāvairocana-sūtra, which became the basic text. The teaching was transmitted orally, to protect it, and was taken to Japan by Kukai, where it is known as Shingon.
