Description

This Group is a forum for advancing an understanding of the T'ien T'ai School of Buddhism. The Great Master of T'ien T'ai, Chih-I (538-597 CE), was the definitive teacher of Chinese Buddhism. Most Far East Schools of Buddhism owe a great deal to the work of Chih-I and his followers. In China this includes Ch'an, Pure Land, Hua-Yen and the later Esoteric Schools. In Japan this includes Tendai, Shingon, Jodo, Zen, and especially Nichiren. The principles of T'ien T'ai apply to all these schools and will greatly benefit the efficacy of any of these practices. There is a website at http://www.tientai.net that is produced by this group. We give updates here on new postings. Please ask any questions you have and we will try to respond promptly to any inquiries.

Regrettably, due to spam postings, we have had to moderate the posts of new members. We will post them as quickly as possible.

If someone posted at tientai, and no one read it, the cause is still created; same as if a tree falls in the forest it still happens and has an effect...
