| | Tendai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Tendai doctrine allowed Japanese Buddhists to reconcile Buddhist teachings with the native religion of Japan, Shinto, and with traditional Japanese aesthetics. | | | Tendai buddhism has several philosophical insights which allow for the reconciliation of Buddhist doctrine with aspects of Japanese culture such as Shinto and traditional aesthetics. | | | Tendai Buddhism became the dominant form of main-stream Buddhism in Japan for many years, and gave rise to most of the developments in later Japanese Buddhism. |

| | Shingon and Tendai Buddhism |
| | 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. | | | Tendai-trained monks were responsible for all the 'new Buddhisms' (Pure Land, Nichiren and Zen) of the Kamakura period, and the sect retains a substantial presence in mainstream Japanese Buddhism today. | | | Tendai and Shingon both employ traditional forms of Indian-derived Buddhist symbolism in their art, architecture, priestly vestments, etc.. |

| | Sanno-Ichijitsu Shinto |
| | Although Sanno Ichijitsu Shinto traces its origins to Saicho, and Sanno was worshipped as the guardian of Mt Hiei and the Tendai sect at twenty-one shrines on Mt Hiei, the main proponent of Sanno Ichijitsu Shinto was the monk Tenkai or Jigen Daishi (1536-1643). | | | 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. | | | Sanno-ichijitsu Shinto (Mountain-king One-Reality Shinto) derives its doctrines from the Tendai sect of Buddhism, of which it formed a part. |

| | Tendai History |
| | The Tendai School of Buddhism is one of the most important sects of Japanese Buddhism, established in the 8th Century CE. | | | The history of Tendai Buddhism thus encompasses the stories of both Mahayana Buddhism and Japanese Buddhism. | | | The history of the Tendai school in the Kamakura era, is principally the story of five Tendai monks, trained and ordained on Hieizan, who went on to establish their own schools of Buddhism. |

| | Nichiren and Tendai |
| | Tendai Buddhism was to be based on the Lotus Sutra and its teaching of "Ichinen Sanzen" or "Three thousand worlds interpolated into a single thought moment." It's teachings and practice incorporated "mind contemplation"/meditation, study of Mahayana precepts and teachings, development of fully realized human beings, and a integrative approach to Buddhism. | | | With the introduction of Tendai, the praxis of this new version of Buddhism was different from that of the older schools. | | | Like the founders of most of the schools of Kamakura Buddhism, Nichiren and his leading disciples were all ordained Tendai Monks. |

| | Tendai (T'ien Tai) Buddhism - ReligionFacts |
| | The Tendai school of Buddhism has been called "one of the most important developments in Chinese and Japanese Buddhism." {1} It is the largest school of Buddhism and has had great practical devotional influence on Chinese and Japanese society. | | | Tendai has been a syncretistic movement, embracing other Buddhist schools, from Vinaya to Shingon and Zen, as well as Shinto, the indigenous Japanese tradition, but its distinctive focus continues to be the teachings of the Lotus Sutra. | | | Tendai's doctrines and practices are based on the Lotus Sutra (Saddharmapundarika-sutra), which also provides the basis of the Nichiren and Pure Land schools. |

| | Tendai Buddhism was a fitting response to this situation. | | | Tendai Buddhism has a rich history replete with religious, political and social dialogue and conflict. | | | Though he took many steps to limit Nara Buddhism, Groner argues, “Kanmu was clearly trying to reform Nara Buddhism, not destroy it.” And by his actions in Kyoto with Saicho and Tendai Buddhism, one can see he clearly recognized the need of a supportive Buddhist sect, whether he was a Buddhist himself or not. |

| | The Ultimacy of Jodo Shinshu |
| | According to Tendai understanding, the "Lotus Sutra," together with the "Nirvana Sutra," was the final, supreme teaching of the Buddha. | | | Shinran must have been aware of these images and the Tendai interpretation when he affirmed that even though the Pure Land Sutra indicates that it is ten kalpas since Amida became Buddha, he was truly a Buddha of much greater age in the past and in the future. | | | While Shinran had the "Lotus Sutra " and Tendai Buddhism in his background, his passage is based on the text of the Queen Srîmâlâ Sutra (Shômangyô). |

| | Tendai Buddhism stressed the Mahāyāna doctrine of the ‘identity of the phenomenal and the real’ (genshōzoku jissō), and proposed that the phenomena of the world are aspects of Buddha. | | | This doctrine, popularized by Kūkai, provided a theoretical basis for the bodily aspects of practice and the enactment of rituals that were important especially in the esoteric traditions of Tendai and Shingon Buddhism. | | | For Saichō (767–822), the founder of the Tendai school, it meant only a partial realization of buddhahood; but by the time of Tendai scholar Annen (841–89?) it referred to buddhahood attained in this very life. |

| | However, the implication of her study as a whole on the New Buddhism and Old Buddhism as categories seems to be more complex. | | | Most admirably, she did so by drawing a larger historical contour in which to place her argument: that the idea of original enlightenment was perhaps the most important undercurrent that ran across diverse Buddhist traditions in medieval Japanese society. | | | The burgeoning of new forms of practice, ritual, doctrine and modes of transmission that it encompassed fundamentally challenges the received picture of medieval Tendai as a static, moribund ‘old Buddhist’ tradition. |

| | A Taste of Tendai, by The Reverend Jion Prosser |
| | The Tendai Sect has often been referred to as the "Mother of all Japanese Buddhism," mainly because so many of the auxiliary sects which would in later years establish themselves as independent denominations had as their founders original Tendai monks. | | | The Tendai sect would evolve into a distinctly Japanese interpretation of classic Chinese T'ien-t'ai Buddhism and influence the development of numerous other Japanese denominations throughout the long history of Japanese Buddhist evolution. | | | I was new to Japan and was well underway in the spiritual pursuit of the Tendai Dharma, yet really had no concept at all of what I was undertaking. |

| | These include the idea that Tendai served as a matrix for the new Buddhisms, that the new Buddhisms constituted a radical break, and that the new Buddhisms emerged dialectically from Tendai. | | | The last chapter of the section is "Tendai Hongaku Thought and the New Kamakura Buddhism: A Reappraisal." This includes an examination of three medieval Tendai texts which exemplify the ramifications of the idea of original enlightenment in relation to practice and realization. | | | Finally, Stone highlights the fact that the new Kamakura Buddhisms were not only synchronous with the rise of medieval Tendai's original enlightenment ideology and practice, but that the two "were both engaged in elaborating a constellation of very similar ideas about enlightenment or salvation" (p. |

| | The first occurs in the context of an extended discussion of the threefold contemplation in a single mind (issin sangan), a central meditation of Tendai Buddhism whereby one contemplates in terms of a single thought-moment the unity of the three truths of emptiness, provisional existence, and the middle. | | | A second relevant passage of the Shuzenji-ketsu similarly presents the chanting of the daimoku as a simple form of another traditional Tendai meditation, in this case, the contemplation of "the single thought-moment comprising three-thousand realms" (ichinen sanzen)--standard Tendai terminology for the interpenetration and identification of the mind ("single thought-moment") and all dharmas ("three thousand realms"). | | | Because this text for a long time represented the sole unambiguous reference to the practice of chanting the daimoku outside of Nichiren Buddhism, its dating became a focus of considerable contraversy between the scholars of the Tendai and Nichiren sects. |
