大乘起信論 [py] Da4sheng2 qi3xin4lun4 [wg] Ta-sheng ch'i-hsin lun. [ko] Taesûng kisillon [ja] ダイジョウキシンロン Daijoukishinron ||| The Awakening of Mahaayaana Faith, attributed to A`svagho.sa; T 1665.32.575b-583b.One of the most important texts of the emerging indigenous East Asian Mahaayaana tradition. Written from the perspective of essence and function (tiyong 體用), this text sought to harmonize the two Indian-derived soteriological positions of the tathaagatagarbha and aalayavij~naana systems into a synthetic vision based on the One Mind in Two Aspects. The Awakening of Faith was to become one of the singlemost influential texts in the development of the East Asian style of Buddha-nature theory. It was studied and commented on repeatedly by a long list of East Asian scholars, including such luminaries as Wônhyo 元曉, Fazang 法藏 and Zongmi 宗密. Although its authorship is attributed to an Indian monk, modern scholarship is fairly certain that the text was an East Asian production. In great part due to the commentaries by Wônhyo, the Awakening of Faith ended up having an unusually powerful influence in Korea, where it may be the most oft-cited text in the entire tradition.

(3) In the introduction to his commentary to the Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment 圓覺經, Kihwa 己和 devotes much energy to the explanation of this word, explaining da 大 to mean initial enlightenment, fang 方 to mean corrective practices with which one's enlightenment is enhanced and guang 廣 as the compassionate extension of one's enlightenment to others.

T.848.18.1-55, 7 fasc., translated by Subhaakarasi.m.ha 善無畏 with the assistance of Yixing 一行 in 724; commonly abbreviated as Vairocanaabhisa.mbodhi 大日經. The primary theme of this work, which is of utmost importance in East Asian esotericism, is the realization of the mind seeking enlightenment 菩提心. This theme is addressed in the opening dialogue between Mahaavairocana 大日如来 and an assembly led by Vajrapaa.ni 執金剛秘密主, who inquires about omniscient knowledge (sarvaj~naaj~naana 一切智智). The Bhagavan responds that "it is caused by the mind which seeks enlightenment, is founded on sympathy for others, and culminates in skilful methods" (karu.naamuula.m bodhicittahetukam upaayaparyavasaanam 悲爲根本。菩提心爲因。方便爲究竟). Enlightenment is defined as "knowing one's mind for what it really is" 謂如實知自心, and subsequent chapters are devoted to describing the skilful methods 方便 for its accomplishment. Foremost among these methods is entrance into the ma.n.dala born from great compassion (mahaakaru.naagarbhodbhava-ma.n.dala 大悲胎蔵生曼荼羅), described at length in chapter two, The Relevant Equipment 具縁品.' Later chapters deal with the entire gamut of esoteric techniques: the practice of mantras 真言, the fire ceremony (homa 護摩), the wheel of syllables (ak.saaracakra 字輪), meditation on the stuupa of five cakras 五輪塔, and so on. However, unlike many previous esoteric works, in this text such techniques are almost exclusively oriented towards the accomplishment (siddhi 成就) of enlightenment rather than worldly goals. Many early sources for these esoteric practices have been established: for example, the three-family (kula 部) system can be found in the Dhaara.niisamuccaya 陀羅尼集經, and its ma.n.dala is indebted to the Vajrapaa.nyabhi.seka-tantra 金剛手潅頂續 (To.496). It is likely that the original text was composed in the mid-seventh century CE, when esotericism gained the status of legitimate "hot topic" among Buddhist monastics in India. While a Sanskrit version has never been found, fragments have been located in diverse sources: the Kriyaasa.mgraha (To.2531), the Indonesian Sang Hyang Kamahaayaanan Mantranaya, the Bhaavanaakrama, and the Pradiipoddyotana.

The Chinese text is based on a manuscript recovered from the belongings of the pilgrim Wuxing 無行 (d.674), which, as with many tantras, is said to have been a condensed version (laghutantra 略本) abridged from a lengthy original (muulatantra 廣本) of 100,000 verses 迦陀.

An ambitious attempt at reconstructing the Sanskrit was made by Jiun 慈雲 (1718-1804), who made use of citations in the principal Chinese commentary, the Darijingshu 大日経疏 [T.1796]. This exhaustive and accessible commentary, along with a well-maintained ritual tradition, have contributed greatly to the text's continuing importance in the Japanese esoteric schools. By contrast, it seems to have attracted little attention in Tibet, where it was translated no later than the early ninth century by `Siilendrabodhi and dPal-brtegs. Lucid and generous commentaries by the eighth-century pandit Buddhaguhya 佛密 (Sangs-rgyas-gsang-ba), such as the Vairocanaabhisambodhitantrapi.n.dartha (To.2662, P.3486), were also translated into Tibetan. For scholastics such as mKhas-grub-rje 智法祖師 (1385-1438) the text's most noteworthy feature is its advocacy of a yoga without semiosis (animittayoga 無相三昧, mtshan ma med pa'i rnal byor), a practice which qualifies its preeminent rank among the caarya 行 tantras in the Tibetan classification. The sequence of chapters in the Chinese and Tibetan editions differs slightly, suggesting that in later times chapters were reordered in accordance with exegetical tradition. Correspondences between chapter numbers are as follows: 1-5:1-5, 6+7:6, 8-12:10-14, 13:16, 14:15, 15-26:17-28, 27+31:29, 28-30:7-9. The seventh fascicle of the Chinese version is a ritualisation of the entire text, apparently composed later than the preceding chapters and circulated as a separate work in India. This short ritual text, the Mahaavairocanaabhisambodhisambaddhapuujaavidhi, was also translated by Vajrabodhi 金剛智 as the Abridged Recitation Suutra 要略念誦經 [T.849]. For a preliminary English translation of the whole text, see Chikyo Yamamoto, Mahaavairocanasuutra, Satapi.taka series 359, 1990.

天台宗 [py] Tian1tai2 zong1 [wg] T'ien-t'ai tsung [ko] Ch'ont'aejong [ja] テンダイシュウ Tendaishuu. ||| (1) Tiantai zong; one of the thirteen schools of Buddhism in China 十三宗, and Japan. Also called the "Lotus Sutra School" 法華宗.
(1) A Mahaayaana school established by Zhiyi 智�� of Tiantai mountain. Zhiyi, taking the Lotus Sutra 法華經 as his basis, classified the other Buddhist sutras into five periods 五時 and eight types of teachings; he discussed the theory of perfect interpenetration of the triple truth 三諦 and taught the rapid attainment of Buddhahood through the practice of observing the mind. The Chinese line of transmission starts with Huiwen 慧文 of the Northern Chi and follows with Huisi 慧思. Next Zhiyi explained the three great scriptures of the school 法華三部 emphasizing both scriptural study and practice. The sixth patriarch, Jingqi 荊溪 also popularized the sect through his commentaries on these three scriptures.
(2) Tiantai was introduced to Korea as Ch'ônt'ae a couple of times during earlier periods, but was not firmly established until the time of Ûich'ôn 義天 (1055-1101) who established Ch'ônt'ae in the Koryô as an independent sect. Due to Ûich'ôn's influence, it came to be a major force in the world of Koryô Buddhism. After he returned from Song China in 1086, Ûich'ôn sought to ease conflict between the doctrinal 教 schools and Sôn 禪 schools, believing that the Ch'ônt'ae doctrine would be effective to this end. Ch'ônt'ae would eventually die out in Korea, its teachings being absorbed into the Chogye Sôn 曹溪tradition.
(3) The Tiantai teaching was brought to Japan by Jianshen 鑑眞 in the middle of the 8th century, but it was not widely accepted. In 805, Saichou 最澄 brought back the Tendai teachings from China and made the temple that he had built on Mt. Hiei 比叡山, the Enryakuji , a center for the study and practice of Tendai. However, what he had transmitted from China was not exclusively Tendai, but also included Zen 禪, Esoteric 密教 and Monastic Discipline 戒律 teachings. This tendency became more marked in the doctrines of his successors, such as Ennin 圓仁 and Enchin 圓珍. The Tendai sect flourished under the patronage of the imperial family and nobility in Japan.

(3) As one of the six destinies, rebirth as a god is generally considered to be the result of the karma of positive acts in a previous lifetime (svarga). Thus it is, relatively speaking, a fortuitous rebirth. But it is nonetheless a karma-based rebirth, and falls far short of the existence of arhats, pratyekabuddhas and bodhisattvas. Some explanations also point out that while rebirth in a heavenly state is the result of a predominance of good karma, there is still a degree of causation by subtle evil. (4) The sun.
