	Buddhist philosophy, Japanese : Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy Online
		The sixth school, the Kegon (Flower Garland), was historically no more influential than these last two, but introduced a principle crucial to an understanding of the treatment of doctrines and truth in subsequent Japanese Buddhism.
		The Kegon school accounted for the variety of doctrines by placing them in a scheme of increasing difficulty and comprehensiveness.
		The Kegon scriptural hermeneutic privileged its own source sūtras and was rivalled by a similar scheme offered in the tremendously influential Lotus Sutra, but it developed a philosophy of totality and interrelation crucial for understanding most Japanese Buddhist thinking.

	The Spears of Hozoin
		Kegon, known as Hua-yen in Chinese, was formalized in China very early in the T'ang Dynasty (618-907 A.D.).
		Kegon drew its inspiration from the Avatamsaka sutra, a sacred text that based enlightenment upon adherence to the principles of the Ten Mysterious Gates.
		In Kegon thought, the universe is like an enormous machine, one with millions upon millions of cogs, each of them turning in relation to all the others.

		The Hozoin was consecrated to the Kegon sect of Buddhism.
		Kegon sprouted at almost exactly the same time another school of Chinese Buddhism came into prominence, the Chan or Zen sect, and in many ways, Kegon was an intellectual approach to Buddhism, complementing the more spontaneous methods of Zen.

		The Kegon Engi Emaki, the illustrated history of the founding of the Kegon sect, is an excellent example of the popularizing trend in Kamakura painting.
		Thus, the Kegon Engi Emaki combines passages of text, written with a maximum of easily readable syllables, and illustrations that have the dialogue between characters written next to the speakers, a technique comparable to contemporary comic strips.
		The plot of the emaki, the lives of the two Korean priests who founded the Kegon sect, is swiftly paced and filled with fantastic feats such as a journey to the palace of the Ocean King, and a poignant love story.

		He also worked for the revival of traditional Kegon learning, emphasizing the study of Fazang's works rather than those of Chengguan, whose doctrines were transmitted within the Shingon tradition, and the cultivation of Kegon visualization meditations.
		Kōben was born in the village of Yoshiwara, on the Ishigaki estate, in Aritakoori in the province of Kii (present-day Wakayama prefecture).
		Following this transmission, which centered around an eighteen-part Tantric sādhana to be undertaken by new initiates, Kōben began the cultivation of the butsugen ritual, a ritual centered on a visualization of the eyes of the Buddha, and his biography records that he experienced many miracles due to this practice.

	JiJi Muge Hokkai
		The hokkai in Kegon, therefore, may be defined as a world revealing itself to the enlightened mind, and its real significance will not be understood by us until we have entered the jiji muge hokkai, that is the last of the four world-conceptions above mentioned.
		But the central idea of Kegon is to grasp the universe dynamically, for the universe is always moving onward, forever moving, which is the essential characteristic of life.
		According to the Kegon philosophy, in the world of harmonious unity between different individuals, each individual being mirrors every other and their world as a whole and every individual is interfused with each other individually and totalistically.

		The fundamental sutra for this school, the Buddhavatamsaka Sutra (Japanese: Kegon-kyo) was politically construed and taken as a confirmation of the ideal of the unity of the state and of the national-political coloration of Japanese Buddhism.
		It was erected by order of the emperor Shomu (r 724-749) in Nara, the capital of Japan from 710 to 784, to become the most important religious institution within the network of provincial monasteries and convents (kokubunji) throughout Japan.

		The players in large string choirs are reproduced with a wealth of inner detail.
		With the KEGON, you simply hear more strings in each choir - more of the transient bowing sounds and small variations in intonation that are cues to the numbers of players at play.
		On large-scale orchestral recordings, where numbers count, the KEGON's abundance of detail adds to the colour and excitement of these colourful and exciting pieces.

	Nara Buddhism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		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).
		The Nara schools have been well described a 'islands of Buddhism' in early Japan.
		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.

		In fact, even the Kegon sect did not get it until a thousand years later, when Tien-Tai of China elucidated the concept of ichinen sanzen contained in the Lotus Sutra.
		Suddenly the Kegon sect revised their scripture to include the ichinen sanzen by quoting sentences and fragments of the Kegon sutta to claim they knew it all along.
		The idea of ichinen sanzen (three thousand states in each moment) is that all life is a continuum of a subtle consciousness not of the mind.

		But Myo-e was above all fascinated by the doctrines of the Kegon school, one of the old Nara schools of Buddhism, which is based on the Avatamsaka or Flower Garland sutra, a scripture holding that all phenomena are equal and dependent upon each other, and an expression of the highest principle, the Buddha mind.
		Myo-e tried to reinvigorate the Kegon school in the face of the new movements which were fermenting in his time, such as the Pure Land Buddhism of Honen.
		Myo-e's fervor for Buddhism was such that he even conceived a plan to visit India (which no Japanese had ever done or would do before modern times) and make a pilgrimage to the Buddhist holy places, but as his biography tells, 'the deities of the Kasuga Shrine in Nara advised him to stay in Japan.'

		True, at times they speak about the superiority of the Mahayana sutras as compared to the Hinayana sutras, or of the Buddhist truth as opposed to secular truth, or they praise the truth of the Middle Way as opposed to the various views that phenomena are non-substantial or that they have only provisional existence.
		Later, by the reign of the thirty-seventh sovereign Emperor Kotoku, the Sanron, Kegon, Hosso, Kusha and Jojitsu sects were introduced to Japan, and in the time of the forty-fifth sovereign Emperor Shomu, the Ritsu sect was introduced, thus making a total of six sects.
		These various men of the Kegon, Sanron, Hosso and other sects expounded the teachings of the founders of their respective sects just as they had learned them.

		The translation of the Kegon Sutra in sixty volumes, which the Great Teacher T'ien-t'ai had criticized, was set aside, and thereafter, the school was established on the basis of a new translation of the Kegon Sutra in eighty volumes, introduced by the Tripitaka Master Jih-chao.
		In general, this school teaches that the Kegon Sutra represents the "root teaching" of the Buddha while the Lotus Sutra represents the "branch teachings." Empress Tse-t'ien was a Buddhist nun, and she had a certain degree of understanding of both the inner and outer scriptures.
		These men declared that the Tendai School was superior to the Kegon, Hosso and Sanron teachings, but that it could not measure up to the doctrines of the Shingon sutras.

	Letter to Shomitsu-bo
		The Kegon school had its beginnings among the various teachers of northern and southern China before T'ien-t'ai's advent.
		These teachers declared that the Kegon Sutra was superior to the Lotus Sutra, but at that time they did not refer to themselves as the Kegon school.
		The priest Kukai [Kobo] not only failed to understand this principle, but in addition he borrowed a false interpretation of the Kegon sect that had already been refuted in the past; and adopted the erroneous view that the Lotus Sutra is inferior even to the Kegon Sutra.
