•Although we can see many similarities with Tibetan Buddhism, or Vajrayana, ShingonBuddhism is somewhat different too.
•As noted before, we do not see the pairing of Buddhaswith consorts in Shingon, as in Tibet.
•Also, Tibetan Buddhism has additional kinds of tantric texts in its ritual practice that are not found in Shingon, because they were developed at a later time in Tibet.
