Editing Ranjana script (section)

=== Use in East Asia ===
In [[Chinese Buddhism]] and other East Asian Buddhism, the standard Sanskrit script for mantras and [[dhāraṇī]]s was not the Rañjanā script, but rather the earlier [[Siddhaṃ script]] that was widely propagated in China during the [[Tang dynasty]].<ref name="Chattopadhayaya, Alaka 1999 p. 201">Chattopadhayaya, Alaka (1999). ''Atisa and Tibet: Life and Works of Dipamkara Srijnana'': p. 201</ref> However, in [[History of China#Imperial China|late Imperial China]], the influence of [[Tibetan Buddhism]] popularized the Rañjanā script as well, and so this script is also found throughout East Asia, but is not as common as Siddhaṃ.<ref>Jiang, Wu (2008). Enlightenment in Dispute: The Reinvention of Chan Buddhism in Seventeenth-Century China: p. 146</ref> In Vietnam, Rañjanā script is often used during Buddhist rituals especially by monks in the central region such as Huế. [[Talisman|Talismans]] are often made using Rañjanā mantras read "Om mani padme hum" or "Om cale cule cundi svaha"  the mantra of [[Cundi (Buddhism)|Cundi Bodhisattva]]. The script has also been adopted by [[Vietnamese folk religion|Vietnamese folk shamans]] in their use of amulets such as Lỗ Ban phái, a Taoist folk sect that arrived from China named after [[Lu Ban]], patron god of carpenters.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ma Phương :: Tinh Hoa Đông Phương|url=https://maphuong.com/Print_article/print_page/311|access-date=2021-08-24|website=maphuong.com}}</ref>
