		Unkei's polychromed wood sculptures (1208, Kofuku-ji, Nara) of two Indian sages, Muchaku and Seshin, the legendary founders of the Hosso sect, are among the most accomplished realistic works of the period; as rendered by Unkei, they are remarkably individualized and believable images.

	Nara Buddhism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The six schools of Nara Buddhism, introduced into Japan during the seventh and eighth centuries CE were Hosso (= Mind-Only, Yogacara); Sanron (= Three Treatises, Madhyamika), Kegon (Flower-Garland, Avatamsaka); Ritsu (= Rules of Discipline, Vinaya); Jojitsu (= Establishment of truth, Satyasiddhi); and Kusha (study of the Abhidharma-kosha texts).
		For example, the Sanron school was led in Nara by a Korean monk and took as its basic scriptures the same three Madhyamaka texts (Middle Treatise, Hundred Treatise, Twelve-Topic Treatise) as the 'Three Treatises' school in China and Korea of which it formed a part.
		The oldest is the Horyuji, whose adherents seceded from the main Hosso sect in 1950 to form the Shotoku Shu.

	Terukazu - Chapter 3: Buddhist Painting of Japanese Inspiration (9th to 13th Century)
		The mystical theology of this sect, which held every being in the universe to be a manifestation of the bodhi, the Wisdom of Buddha, attached great importance to plastic representations of divinities, whose numbers were vastly increased in the doctrines of esoteric Buddhism.
		The Shingon sect and even the Tendai sect had by then almost lost or forfeited their original philosophical character and their mystical ceremonies had been enlisted in the service of the earthly desires of the faithful.
		Monks of both esoteric sects were continually eing called in by the imperial family and the nobility to heal the sick, to allay the epidemics that often ravaged the country, to bless women in childbirth, to intercede favor of office-seekers, and even to pronounce anathemas against political opponents or rival lovers.

		In the first place, it is as old as Buddhism itself, or even older, for its mode of practising Meditation has been handed down without much alteration from pre-Buddhistic recluses of India; and it may, on that account, provide the student of comparative religion with an interesting subject for his research.
		In the second place, in spite of its historical antiquity, ideas entertained by its advocates are so new that they are in harmony with those of the New Buddhists;[FN#8] accordingly the statement of these ideas may serve as an explanation of the present movement conducted by young and able reformers of Japanese Buddhism.

	Repaying Debts of Gratitude
		And when he began to consider the basic doctrines of the six sects of earlier Buddhism in the light of what he found in these writings, it became apparent that each of the sects was guilty of doctrinal error.
		The Hosso sect, which clings to the concept of being, denies that its leader Chih-chou was converted to the teachings of the Tendai school, and that Liang-p'i used those teachings in interpreting the Ninno Sutra...
		Recognizing this situation, even followers of the Tendai sect, hoping to be asked to perform the "opening of the eyes" ceremony for the dedication of Buddhist paintings or statues, adopt the mudras and mantras in which the Shingon sect is believed to excel.

	Selection of Time -- Senji Sho
		The men of the Zen sect, taking advantage of this situation, pronounced themselves "observers of the precepts," deceiving the eyes of the people and putting on such lofty airs that, no matter what false doctrines they presumed in their madness to put forward, these doctrines were not recognized as erroneous.
		Thus the proponents of this sect maintain that, if one studies the various sutras without understanding the teachings of the Zen sect, he will be like a dog trying to bite at a clap of thunder or a monkey trying to grasp the moon’s reflection in the water.
		Therefore, he adopted the viewpoint of the Kegon sect, whose doctrines he had studied earlier in Japan, declaring [as the Kegon sect does of its own teachings] that the Shingon doctrines were superior to the Lotus Sutra.

		The author considers three main sects of Shingon, Tendai and Hosso and their relationships with the court, involvement into court politics and tracks down their development through the times of eighths to early fourteenth century.
		In light of the politics and main economic concerns of the era, it becomes much clearer, for example, why the capital was moved from Nara to Kioto, or why the warrior government of Ashikaga lobbied the development of the Zen sect of Buddhism and it is much easier to understand a lot of other questions.
		Enryakuji, the Tendai centre and the main provider of ceremonies for the imperial court, expelled head abbots appointed by the Emperor and marched into the capital with sacred symbols showing thereby the anger of gods caused by incursion of warriors into the Temple's estates.

		Both Hwui Chung (E-chu), a famous disciple of the Sixth Patriarch, and Do-gen, the founder of the Soto Sect in Japan, deny the authority of the book, and declare it to be misleading, because of errors and prejudices of the compilers.
		Although the priests of other Buddhist sects had their share in these bloody affairs, as was natural at such a time, yet Zen monks stood aloof and simply cultivated their literature.
		The Ten Dai Sect, for instance, is based on Saddharma-pundarika-sutra; the Jo Do Sect on Larger Sukhavati-vyuha, Smaller Sukhavati-vyuha, and Amitayus-dhyana-sutra; the Ke Gon Sect on Avatamsaka-sutra; the Hosso Sect on Samdhi-nirmocana-sutra.

	Japanese Architecture: Kiyomizu temple, Kyoto
		Kiyomizu is an old temple of the Hosso sect of Buddhism, a relatively small sect that was established--according to legend--in 657 by the monk Dosho from China.
		It is said that Kiyomizu-dera (Clear Water Temple) was founded in 798 by the monk Enchin through the patronage of the warrior Tamuramaro.
		In one notable conflict--the 15th century Onin War--it actually escaped damage because it remained neutral in the great sectarian feuds that ravaged the city (the Hosso sect was perhaps too small to get involved).
