MARALDO 3 Universal and particular Three interrelated themes display the mutual accommodation of relative and absolute, universal and particular: the locus of liberation, its actuality and the equality of beings. Indian Mahāyāna sūtras introduced the idea that liberation does not lead to a transcendent realm different from this world, but they often spoke of the ‘three immeasurable eons’ required for its attainment. In contrast, many seminal Buddhist thinkers in Japan developed one Chinese view of the locus of liberation: the idea of becoming a buddha in this very body ( sokushin jōbutsu ). 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. Kūkai (774–835), founder of the rival Shingon school, taught that yogic practices involving body ( mudra s or symbolic hand gestures), speech ( mantras ) and mind (mental concentration and visualizations) could unify the practitioner with the Buddha Mahāvairocana. Such practices made it possible to attain buddhahood in this very body. 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.

KASULIS 3 Metaphysical vision of ancient Japanese esoteric Buddhism Although already a significant presence in the Nara period, only in the Heian period (794–1185) did Buddhism undergo a profound process of philosophical development and Japanization. Two Buddhist thinkers were particularly influential: Kūkai (774–835; posthumous title, Kōbō Daishi) and Saichō (767–822; posthumous title, Dengyō Daishi). Of the two, Kūkai’s philosophical contribution was the more comprehensive. He went to China in 804 to study esoteric Buddhism and, upon his return two years later, founded Japanese Shingon Buddhism. The analytic and systematic character of Kūkai’s writings may well qualify him as the first true philosopher in Japanese history. For Kūkai, reality is fundamentally a person. The entire cosmos is no more than the thoughts, words and deeds of the Buddha called Dainichi (literally the ‘Great Sun’). Dainichi is not the creator of the universe; Dainichi is the universe. In a perpetual state of enlightened meditation, Dainichi performs the three great practices of esoteric Buddhism: the chanting of sacred syllables ( mantras ), the visualization of geometrical arrays of symbols (

ZEN (c) M. Emi Freshman Term Paper Submitted to Mr. Francis Britto English Composition G Saturday, January 14th, 2000 The image of people who are sitting with their legs crossed, doing zazen , is familiar to the Japanese. It is one of the zen trainnigs. Zen begins and ends with zazen. Some would say that it is a religion; others might say that it is a philosophy. Actually, it is both, and at the same time, neither. "Zen is not something you can explain in words, but is a practice which is carried out for one's self-development, and for reaching to a state of liberation, called satori" (Suzuki 4). The fundamental thing of zen is to seek enlightenment and to liberate others. In other words, the practice of zen is for realizing the enlightenment to save all living things as well as oneself from the struggling world. It may sound difficult, but it is not. All you have to do is to shut out distracting thoughts from your mind. The method of zazen is very simple. One can do zazen in the lotus position. There are two lotus positions, the full and half-lotus positions. In the full-lotus position, you have to cross both legs. First, you place your right foot on your left thigh and then, place your left foot on your right thigh. In the half-lotus position, you just place your left foot on your right thigh. You can do zazen in either.

An Assessment of Jacqueline Stone’s Original Enlightenment and the Transformation of Medieval Japanese Buddhism James Dobbins (Oberlin College) Society for the Study of Japanese Religion Chicago AAS Annual Meeting, March 23, 2001 Jacqueline Stone’s book on , or “original enlightenment thought,” is a work of both scope and detail. It glides over its subject matter, sometimes pausing to take a close-up look at things, but other times moving in wide arcs to get a panoramic view. It tends to be a book about “forests” rather than “trees,” though it does examine its fair share of “trees” along the way. Overall, I would describe it as one of the most thought-provoking and multifaceted books I have read in a long time. In content the work is structured around the theme of hongaku , original enlightenment, which according to Stone was not so much a philosophical principle as a mode of discourse that operated pervasively in medieval religion. Its base was Tendai Buddhism, mainly among the lineages and traditions of Mt. Hiei, but it also reached widely into other medieval circles, including the so-called new schools of Kamakura Buddhism such as Nichiren. Stone examines this theme in its various guises and manifestations, and charts how it developed and diversified, and also what social mechanisms were at work enhancing, preserving, and transmitting it.

Chinese Buddhist priest named Saicho (767-822) founded an unpretentious, tiny Buddhist temple on the slopes of Mount Hiei near Kyoto. As small as its beginnings were, Mount Hiei would quickly become the cultural, religious, and artistic center of Japan until it was destroyed by Oda Nobunaga in 1571. At the time Saicho founded his monastery, the area around the mountain was unproductive marsh-lands. All this changed in six years when the Emperor Kammu moved the capital from Nara to the area around Mount Hiei. It was one of those strange practical jokes of history: Kammu, a devoted Confucian, originally moved the capital in order to get away from the Buddhists. The move, however, would make the Buddhists of Mount Hiei the most powerful political force in early and medieval Japanese history. Japan Atlas Nara and Heian Japan Lotus Sutra , which was the foundational text of all Mahayana Buddhism. The Lotus Sutra claims to be the last definitive teaching of Buddha. In it, the Buddha reveals the "Greater Vehicle" (in Sanskrit, Mahayana ) which allows for salvation for a larger number of people. Buddhahood is open to all people rather than to a few; the teaching of Buddhist law, then, is of paramount importance. This law was taught by

Nichiren Buddhism was one of the key sects in medieval Japan. Nichiren (1222-1282) was a Tendai Buddhist monk who left the monastery and invented what was truly a Japanese version of Buddhism; rather than focus on the saving power of the Amida, Nichiren stressed that the Lotus Sutra, upon which Tendai doctrine was based, was the key to all enlightenment and fully embodied the truth of the Buddha Trinity (Vairochana, the Eternal Buddha (in Japanese: Dainichi); Amitabha, the Body of Bliss or Eternal Buddha (which is what the Amidists worshipped); Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha). Nichiren required that all boddhisattvas (those striving to become a Buddha) recite the Lotus sutra rather than the name of Amida; unlike Amidism, Nichiren Buddhism laid emphasis on individual effort rather than salvation through the action of the Buddha.

72. The Syncretic Development Of The Tendai School The Ojoyoshu takes tendai Pure Land buddhism as its basis but also incorporates the thought of Chinese Pure Land masters Taoch o and Shan-tao. http://www.jsri.jp/English/Honen/LIFE/Tendai/development.html

The Syncretic Development of the Tendai School in Japan The Japanese Tendai tradition continued the common trend of syncretism practiced by the Chinese T ien-t ai tradition and most schools of Chinese Buddhism. Alongside the core doctrine of the "Perfect Teaching of the Buddha based on the Lotus Sutra " (Ch. fa-hua yuan , Jp. hokke-engyo ), the teachings of Tantra, the Precepts, and Ch'an (Jp. Zen) were incorporated into one syncretic doctrine. Originally, the founder of Japanese Tendai, Saicho (767-822), made a pilgrimage to China and received transmission in all four of these schools. He received transmission in hokke-engyo from both Master Tao-sui at Lung-hsing ssu temple at T ai-chou and Master Hang-man at Fo-lung ssu temple; in Tantra from Master Shun-hsiao at Lung-hsing ssu temple at Yueh chou; in the Mahayana Precepts also from Master Tao-sui; and in Ch an from Master Hsiao-jan at Ch an-lin ssu temple. Upon his return from China, Saicho compiled his own version of the lineages of these four schools in his Naisho buppo sojo kechi myakufu Dengyodaishi Zenshu , 199-248). He then formed a new doctrine from the fusion of these four doctrines and called it the Single Vehicle of the Lotus (

I have been studying Tendai for the past five years, and I have become increasingly curious about how the American form compares to the Japanese form of the religion. (Tendai, by the way, is a school of Buddhism based on the Lotus Sutra. It incorporates a variety of practices: sitting meditation, esoteric ritual, Pure Land chanting, etc .) Kuji City is quite far from any Tendai temples. The nearest one, Tendai-ji is just under two hours away by car, so it wasn’t until a few weeks ago that I finally had the opportunity to visit Twice a year Tendai-ji hosts a festival. I knew nothing about the fall festival, aside from the date, but I figured that would be a great time to visit the temple. I contacted an English-speaking priest I know in Tokyo, and he helped arrange a visit. He knows Kanno-sensei, the abbot at Tendai-ji, so he forewarned him of my visit.

It consists of the teachings of the Buddha, Gautama Siddhartha. Of the main branches of Buddhism, it is the Mahayana or "Greater Vehicle" Buddhism which found its way to Japan. Buddhism was imported to Japan via China and Korea in form of a present from the friendly Korean kingdom of Kudara (Paikche) in the 6th century . While Buddhism was welcomed by the ruling nobles as Japan's new state religion, it did not initially spread among the common people due to its complex theories. There were also a few initial conflicts with Shinto , Japan's native religion, but the two religions were soon able to co-exist harmonically and even complemented each other. During the Nara period , the great Buddhist monasteries in the capital Nara , such as the Todaiji , gained strong political influence and were one of the reasons for the government to move the capital to Nagaoka in 784 and then to Kyoto in 794. Nevertheless, the problem of politically ambitious and militant monasteries remained a main issue for the governments over many centuries of

79. THE LIFE OF MIKAO USUI His family belonged to the tendai sect of Esoteric buddhism. When he was four, he was sent to a tendai monastery to receive his primary education. http://www.asunam.com/life_of_mikao_usui.htm

THE LIFE OF MIKAO USUI Mikaomi Usui was born in the village of Yago in Gifu prefecture in Japan on August 15, 1865; where his ancestors had lived for eleven generations. His family belonged to the Tendai sect of Esoteric Buddhism. When he was four, he was sent to a Tendai monastery to receive his primary education. He was a very bright student. He grew up during a period of time when Japanese society was going (and growing) through dramatic changes. Since 1641 (before Usui's time) all Europeans and foreigners, except the Dutch, had been expelled - and those who were allowed to remain, did so by being confined to special trading centers in Nagasaki. Christianity was made illegal, and the Japanese were made to register at Shinto temples. Japan did not open its doors to the West until the 1850's, and the ban on Christianity was not lifted until 1873. During this time (1860's - 1890's) of moving from a feudal society to an industrialized one, Japan was also looking for spiritual direction for its people. The Meji Emperor had begun a new regime that overthrew the Shoguns, and Japans feudal states were brought under the direct control of the central government, which was relocated in Tokyo. Under this new regime, some of the "old ideas" were discarded in favor of modernization. But, when it came to Japan's spiritual underpinnings, the population was encouraged to reinvigorate its traditional paths of Shinto and Buddhism by embracing new ideas that could be easily incorporated into them -
