3. Tendai Buddhism Explains the role of tendai buddhism in the evolution of Japanese history. http://www.compsoc.net/~gemini/simons/historyweb/tendai.html

Tendai Buddhism Major Sino-Japanese school of Mahayana Buddhism, named after Mount Tiantai in south-eastern China, where its first monastery was established, but usually known now by its name as used in Japan, where it saw its greatest growth and influence. In 804 the Japanese monk Saicho (767-822) was sent to study at Mount Tiantai, and returned with the teaching that formed the nucleus of Japanese Tendai, which he expounded from a new monastic centre on Mount Hiei near Kyoto. He was initially opposed by monks at the old Buddhist centre of Nara, who used Theravada precepts for ordination instead of the Mahayana precepts he wished to employ. He also incorporated elements of Zen and esoteric Buddhism into Japanese Tendai. Imperial approval for the new sect was finally given in 823, just after Saicho's death, initiating the development of Mahayana Buddhism in Japan. Two great Tendai monks, Ennin (794-864) and Enshin (814-891), furthered the sect's influence, especially at court, and the monastic centre on Mount Hiei, Enryakuji, grew into an immense temple complex. Tendai in Japan became, with Shingon , one of the two pre-eminent sects of the Heian period (794-1185), Japan's cultural golden age. It remained more élitist than Shingon, and was particularly popular with the Heian aristocracy. It also fostered the synthesis of Buddhism with Japanese

Tendai Buddhism for Americans By Reverend Jikai and Reverend Jiho Dedication This work is respectfully dedicated to our teacher, Tendai Bishop Jion Haba of Tokyo, Japan, who has inspired us to follow his footsteps in walking the Path of the Dharma. Preface In as much as all things come about through the intricate workings of the Causal Law of the Universe, the Tendai Buddhist Information Center has recently been established in the United States. Our purpose is to make available to all seekers, information of all kinds concerning Buddhism, in general, and Tendai Buddhism, in particular. The Tendai Buddhist Information Center will establish a Tendai Buddhist Church with which it will be affiliated. With the Establishment of the church, the Protecting Divinities of the Tendai Denomination will bring their blessings and their protective powers to everyone seeking them. The church will be a place for spiritual practice, while the Information Center will serve as the focal point for academic studies. It is at this time that we would like to call to remembrance many persons who are close to our hearts, and to offer to them, our thanks and our gratitude for their many forms of assistance to us in our work.

7. Shingon And Tendai Buddhism Shingon and tendai buddhism. Doctrines, Both Shingon (Chinese Chenyen) and Tendai (Chinese T ien-T ai) Buddhism have Chinese antecedents http://philtar.ucsm.ac.uk/encyclopedia/easia/shingon.html

Shingon and Tendai Buddhism Doctrines Both Shingon (Chinese: Chen-yen) and Tendai (Chinese: T'ien-T'ai) Buddhism have Chinese antecedents (see CHINESE BUDDHISM). Their basic doctrines were developed in China and imported directly into Japan. Both emphasise the possibility of 'attaining enlightenment in this very body' (soku-shin-jo-butsu) through esoteric (Sanskrit: Tantra, Vajrayana) techniques including visualisation meditation, chanting of mantras and ritual gestures. Tendai Buddhism also took the Lotus Sutra (Hokkekyo, Saddharma-Pundarika-sutra) as a central text and fostered a wide variety of practices including Zen meditation and Pure Land devotional practices. Both traditions emphasised the monastic life and sought to play a major role in state ritual. History Shingon and Tendai Buddhism simultaneously gained influence in Japan during the Heian period (794-1160), when the imperial court flourished in the capital Kyoto, known as Heian 'Peace and Tranquillity'). Shingon was transmitted to Japan on his return from China by the monk Kukai (774-835), widely known in Japan by his posthumous name of Kobo Daishi. He is revered as a culture-hero who performed many extraordinary feats during his travels in Japan and instead of dying resides in samadhi (meditative trance), ready to return to the world if needed. The imperial family adhered to Shingon rites until 1868 and Shingon remains today one of the strongest and most self-confident established Buddhist sects in Japan. Shingon heavily influenced the development of the widespread ascetic mountain-religion of Shugendo.

8. Sanno-Ichijitsu Shinto All traces of the association between tendai buddhism and Shinto were expunged at the time of shinbutsu bunri (separation of kami and Buddhas) in 1868. http://philtar.ucsm.ac.uk/encyclopedia/shinto/sanno.html

Sanno-Ichijitsu Shinto Doctrines Sanno-ichijitsu Shinto (Mountain-king One-Reality Shinto) derives its doctrines from the Tendai sect of Buddhism, of which it formed a part. Sanno Ichijitsu Shinto takes its name from the Mountain King deity (Sanno) who was believed to be the guardian of Mt Hiei, outside Kyoto, and therefore of the headquarters of the Tendai sect whose main monastic complex, Enryakuji, was located on the mountain. Sanno was regarded as a manifestation or avatar (Japanese: gongen) of the Buddha Shakyamuni. History Symbols The Nikko Toshogu is built in the richly decorative and much copied gongen-zukuri (avatar-style) with ornate lacquer work and wood carvings reflecting the ritual and artistic celebration of the cosmos characteristic of Tendai esotericism. The shrine buildings of a gongen-style shrine are laid out in the shape of an H, representing Tendai ideas. The Nikko Toshogu in its setting of giant trees is regarded by some as one of the most beautiful shrines in Japan.

11. Candle Of The Latter Dharma By Saicho: Tendai Buddhism Attributed to Saicho (Dengyo Daishi, 767822 CE) Founder of the Japanese Tendai School of Buddhism. Translated by Robert Rhodes BDK English Tripitaka. http://nichirenscoffeehouse.net/books/Candle.html

The Candle of the Latter Dharma Attributed to Saicho (Dengyo Daishi, 767-822 C.E.) Founder of the Japanese Tendai School of Buddhism Translated by Robert Rhodes BDK English Tripitaka He who conforms to the One Thusness while spreading his teaching is the Dharma king; he whose virtues permeate the four seas and transmit his influence among the people is the benevolent king. This being so, the Dharma king and the benevolent king work together to reveal each other's presence and enlighten all beings; the Absolute Truth and the secular truth rely on each other to spread the Buddhist teachings. It is for this reason that the profound writings of Buddhism fill the world and sage counsel overflows under heaven. Now we foolish monks accept and obey the heavenly net of the nation's laws and respect and obey the emperor's severe decrees. There is no time for us to rest complacent. There are three periods to the Dharma. There are also three types of people. Instructions concerning the teachings and precepts arise and disappear depending on the time, and words repudiating or praising the keeping of the precepts are employed or cast aside depending upon the audience. As for the fortunes of Fu Hsi, Wen Wang, and Confucius, the three ancient worthies of China, their rise and fall were not the same; as for the capacities of the beings of the five five-hundred year periods after the Buddha's decrease, their wisdom and enlightenment are also different. How can beings of different capacities be saved by identical means? How can all of the Buddha's teachings concerning the precepts be arranged under one principle?

12. Studying With Tendai Lotus Teachings What makes tendai buddhism uniquely Tendai? 4. Where or how does one begin training in tendai buddhism? What is the first step? http://www.tendai-lotus.org/study/class/article7.htm

Greetings Pema Dormu (Jeff), "The other Jeff" kindly responded to this post since I've been awake this morning (aren't time differences a gift?), so I thought I'd add a few comments to the two combined posts. 1. What are the differences between Tendai and other forms of Buddhism? What makes Tendai Buddhism uniquely Tendai? Jeff shared with us the following, just a small portion of which I'd like to add comment upon: Vajrayana was brought to Japan from China by Kukai (see 'Kukai: Major Works' by Hakeda). Kukai founded the Shingon sect of Japanese vajrayana. A contemporary, Saicho also journeyed to China and brought vajrayana to Japan a little after Kukai (see 'Tien Tai Philosophy' by Paul Swanson). It's my understanding that Saicho returned to Japanese soil ahead of Kukai, although we're splitting hairs I believe with history. And Jeff is exactly correct when he states that: Some say Saicho's teachings were incomplete, until a student of Saicho went to China after Saicho's death and brought back what was incomplete.

One View Of Tendai Buddhism This writer in 1969 was given the name Vimalakirti after taking refuge in the Three Treasures with Dr. Ajari, a Russian-American and lifelong teacher of religion. In 1992, I became a kozo (junior priest) in the Tendai sect with the name Esho. My teacher is the legendary kaihogyo practioner Enami Kakusho, better known as Gozen-sama. These days he operates out of Sekizan Zen-in at the northeastern edge of Kyoto and at the foot of Mt. Hiei. He has kindly allowed me to offer the kengyo (open teachings). The Marathon Monks of Mt. Hiei , he is quoted as saying at the end of his life, "The worthless Saicho (Dengyo Daishi), tired from all his labors, has exhausted his life . . .. I will be gone soon, and have done only two things of merit: never letting harsh words pass my lips nor allowing my hands to injure a living being." The third patriarch was Jikaku Daishi who brought the full esoteric teaching into Tendai after spending nine adventorous years in China during a period of great civil unrest. One of his disciples inaugurated the kaihogyo tradition, which is my own particular lineage within the very broad umbrella of Tendai Buddhism. One of the four Bodhisattva Vows is to "master all Dharmas," and this seems to be the impetus for preserving such a wide range of activities within one sect, with the intent of offering practices which can benefit people of markedly different karmas, aspirations, and aptitudes in their quests for Enlightenment. Below, I list separately and in no particular oreder some of the practices. Although I list them separately, they are really intertwined and are to be undertaken in various combinations and at different stages in one's career:

20. Honenfs Early Life And Training In Tendai Buddhism Honen s Early Life and Training in tendai buddhism. Until 1175, Honen would go through an intensive training in the world of medieval tendai buddhism. http://www.jsri.jp/English/Honen/LIFE/training.html

Honen s Early Life and Training in Tendai Buddhism Honen was born in 1133 in the district of Mimasaka in what is now Okayama, east of Hiroshima, as the only child of a warrior and his wife. According to most of his biographies , Honen s father, Uruma no Tokikuni, was assassinated at night in his own house as a result of a local political feud when Honen was nine years old. However, according to one source, the Daigobon Honen shonin denki , Honen s father died, probably violently, when the boy was fifteen, after Honen had already gone to live on Mt. Hiei.(SHZ. 435, HDZ. 773). Whichever may be true, Honen lost his father early in life. Since he was thirteen when he left his home for Mt. Hiei, we do not know for sure whether or not his father s violent death was a major motive for Honen s entrance into monastic life. It is generally considered that Honen went to live on Mt. Hiei in 1145 during the reign of Emperor Konoe, though the exact time and circumstances of his ascent of Mt. Hiei are unclear. Additionally , there are very few records of his early years on the mountain. In 1147, Honen received the Mahayana precepts at the ordination hall of Enryaku-ji and began to study the teachings of Tendai-shu in earnest. Until 1175, Honen would go through an intensive training in the world of medieval Tendai Buddhism . His three major teachers were Genko (also known as Jijobo), Koen and Eiku. Of these three, he spent the longest time with Eiku, studying with him for twenty-five years.
