	Tiantai@Everything2.com
		Founded by Zhiyi, the Chinese Buddhist school of Tiantai was developed in the 6th century AD from various aspects of Chinese Buddhism that were developing at the time.
		Tiantai held the Lotus Sutra as the most important sutra, and claimed Nagarjuna as their founding patriarch.
		The Tiantai school believed in their form of existentialism, embodied in the "Three Truths": All things are empty, yet they have provisional existence, and recognizing both of these facts is the Middle Way.

	Tiantai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tiantai (天台宗, Wade-Giles: T'ien T'ai) is one of the thirteen schools of Buddhism in China and Japan, also called the Lotus Sutra School because of its emphasis on the supremacy of that scripture.
		The schools of Buddhism that had existed in China prior to the emergence of the Tiantai are generally believed to represent direct transplantations from India, with little modification to their basic doctrines and methods.
		The Tiantai emphasis on the Lotus Sutra would be developed and expanded by the Japanese monk Nichiren, giving rise to Nichiren Buddhism- a school of Buddhism seen by some scholars as playing a similar role in Japan to that of the Tiantai school in China.

	Setup, Punch Line, and the Mind-Body Problem (1) - Brook Ziporyn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Tiantai is generally considered the first truly "sinicized" school of Buddhism, laying the theoretical groundwork for all later developments of East Asian Buddhism in one way or another, either as inspiration or as foil.
		Although this is an issue that is arguably peripheral to the Tiantai edifice, it is useful to show that I will not be departing all that far from the sources into flights of purely fanciful speculation.
		But our Tiantai analysis of the nature of the mind, via the Three Discernments, as the Three Truths, reveals that this nature, namely the Three Truths, is in fact shared by all dharmas whatsoever, even those initially categorized as matter.

		Tiantai (天台宗, Wade-Giles: T'ien T'ai) is one of the thirteen schools of Buddhism in China and Japan, also called the Lotus Sutra School.
		Zhiyi, taking the Lotus Sutra as his basis, classified the other Buddhist sūtras; into five periods and eight types of teachings; he discussed the theory of perfect interpenetration of the triple truth, emphasized both scriptural study and practice, and taught the rapid attainment of Buddhahood through observing the mind.
		Zhiyi's schema culminated with the Lotus Sutra, which he held to be the supreme synthesis of Buddhist doctrine.

	Rednova NEWS \| Hitler, the Holocaust, and the Tiantai Doctrine of Evil As the Good: A Response to David R. Loy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Tiantai approach to moral persuasion rests on the premise that no one can be persuaded to adopt a new desideratum except through appeal to some preexisting desideratum, some value to which he is already committed, that can serve to motivate him.
		In the Tiantai case, we have the further Buddhist attention to the question of self-nature, to the identity of the putative objects, the meaning of the original terms, allowing them to break up into a "moving army of metaphors," a tissue of tropes.
		The advantage of accepting the strange Tiantai reconfiguration is not at all negligible, for it addresses one of the most insidious effects of racism: the subtle infiltration of racist stereotypes into the minds of the members of the very groups it targets.

		Moreover, Tiantai insisted that it is necessary for Buddha-nature to retain some traces of evil and delusion in order to understand and empathize with the plight of ordinary sentient beings.
		Buddhahood, for Tiantai, was not simply a matter of correctly seeing or understanding in a ‘pure’ way, but was at its core salvific; Buddhahood is the active liberation of sentient beings from ignorance.
		Heterodox forms of Tiantai tinged with Huayan’s ‘purity obsession’ appeared, and these were challenged sharply by the orthodox Tiantai thinkers from their headquarters on Tiantai mountain (from which the school took its name).

		Buddhism was also of great philosophical importance because it brought to China sophisticated metaphysical explanations of the nature of reality.
		The Chinese Buddhist philosophers of the Tiantai (T’ien T’ai) sect formulated the doctrine of the “Perfectly Harmonious Threefold Truth” to explain the nature of existence.
		This doctrine held that things are fundamentally empty because everything depends on something else to cause it to exist; however, things have a temporary existence, and so the everyday world is not a complete illusion.

	H-Net Review: Robert Magliola on Being and Ambiguity: Philosophical Experiments with Tiantai Buddhism
		I belong to that minority which affirms that "living philosophy" is one of the things Buddhist Studies should do, and I recommend this book as a brilliant example of such a genre.
		Tiantai takes the clue from this collapse of the ends-means relation, by in effect applying it to Nāgārjuna's distinctions between the Two Truths, conventional truth (Buddhism and ordinary speech) and ultimate truth (Emptiness, the "unspeakable") and even to Nāgārjuna's distinction within the mundane between ordinary truth and the false (non-Buddhist religious and philosophical theories).
		Tiantai's Three Truths are Emptiness, Provisional Positing (of what Nāgārjuna calls ordinary truth, but also of what Nāgārjuna calls false teachings), and Centrality (reversible as-ness, which Ziporyn shall re-name "Intersubsumption").
