 | | Shingon Buddhism developed a system which assigned authorship of the early sutras to Gautama Buddha in his physical manifestation; of the Ekayana sutras to the Buddhas as Sambhoghakaya; and the Vajrayana texts to the Buddha as Dharmakaya. | | | The Lankavatara Sutra was influential in the Chan or Zen schools. | | | The Gandhavyuha sutra is thought to be the source of a cult of Vairocana that later gave rise to the Mahavairocana-adhisambodhi tantra which became one of two central texts in Shingon Buddhism, and is included in the Tibetan canon as a carya class tantra. |

| | This sect teaches the recitation of the daimoku as an affirmation of faith in the teaching of the Lotus Sutra, and the worship of the Buddha Sakyamuni. | | | This must be supplemented, however, by the chanting of sutras, meditation on the Buddha, worshiping of buddha images, and singing his praises. | | | The second is the repetition of the phrase namu Myoho renge kyo (salutation to the Lotus Sutra), a practice called daimoku ("sacred title"), as the affirmation of the devotee's belief in the teaching and efficacy of the Lotus Sutra. |

| | The Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment Buddhist Sūtra, original Chinese title is Yuanjue jing, Japanese Engaku-kyo; 1 fasc. | | | This kind of structure reflects a motif associated with the doctrine of the Huayan school (華嚴宗), which affirms that the Buddha delivered the abstruse Avatamsaka Sutra (華嚴經) as his first sermon, in an effort to directly awaken those whose "roots of virtue" were well-matured. | | | It was intended to resolve questions regarding doctrine and meditation for the earliest practitioners of the Chan school. |

| | This book is a translation and analysis of one chapter of the Avatamsaka Sutra (see above), the chapter entitled "The Manifestation of the Tathagata." Cheng Chien Bhikshu uses this chapter as a discussion of the idea of Buddahood as it was understood by Hua-Yen Buddhism in particular and Mahayana Buddhism in general. | | | This Sutra is widely regarded as the apex, the culmination of all of Mahayana, or indeed all Buddhist thought. | | | The Avatamsaka Sutra is (legend has it) the first discourse the Buddha gave immediately after realizing his Perfect Enlightenment, before he turned the Wheel of Dharma at Varanasi. |
