  Tiantai   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Tian Tai (Wade-Giles: T'ien T'ai) school was founded by the patriarch Zhi-yi (Wade-Giles: Chih-i) (538-597) during the Sui dynasty in China.
Zhi-yi organized all existing pre-Mahayana and Mahayana sutras into a five-part scheme, comprising the various levels of teaching revealed by the Buddha and culminating in the Lotus Sutra, which he held to be the supreme synthesis of Buddhist doctrine.
Tian Tai thus became proverbially broad, able to absorb and give rise to other movements within Buddhism.

 Chen Style Tai Chi Chuan's Secret Weapon: the Rotation of Dan-Tian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Chen Tai chi is the original style of Tai chi chuan from which the other four major styles (Yang, Wu, Sun, and Hao) have evolved.
As all the movements in Chen Tai chi are always spiral and circular, dan-tian has to move in the same manner as the arms (and sometimes the legs) in order to have better control of them.
When Tai chi chuan was invented some three hundred and fifty years ago, breathing and the rotation of dan-tian were incorporated into the Tai chi form to make it a unique kind of martial art which is both practical (useful for self-defense and good for one’s health) and artistic (looking graceful and beautiful).

 Chapter Eleven
He organized all existing Theravada and Mahayana sutras into a five-part scheme, comprising the various levels of teaching revealed by the Buddha and culminating in the Lotus Sutra, the supreme synthesis of Buddhist doctrine.
Eventually the strength of Tien Tai, which was the complexity of its teaching and practice, became its weakness, as it required its followers to master all the areas of doctrine and practice.
This may have been just be one of the reasons why so many monks left Tien Tai to follow the Chan School during the seventh century.

 THE DAN TIAN (or Tantien) . Tai Chi Chuan Tao.
This is the zone or field that is located towards the interior of the navel, between this and the ´´ming men´´ which is the acupuncture point in the lumbar curvature.
Also, it is said to be 3 ´´dan tian´´, lower, middle and upper.
Perhaps the point that we should exercise is that in tai chi chuan, if one seeks to overcome, there is a need to orientate oneself towards the practise of the ´´original qi´´ and it is in the tan-tien where it is stored.
