The Collected Teachings of the Tendai Lotus School

In the Early Heian Period (830) Emperor Junna ordered each of the Buddhist schools to submit a treatise outlining the essentials of its teachings. These are collectively known as the Six Religious Treatises (Tenchō Era), and the present work, The Collected Teachings of the Tendai Lotus School, is one such treatise, being a summary of the teachings of the Tendai School. It gives a short and clear explanation of most of the main tenets of the Tendai School, and is thus very convenient for acquainting the reader with its doctrines.
