Tendai Sect Tendai-shū A Buddhist sect founded by Zhiyi of the Sui Dynasty in China. Based on the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, it advocates the theory of the Five Periods and Eight Teachings, and is a branch of Mahayana Buddhism that preaches rapid enlightenment through contemplation. The doctrines of the Tendai sect were established through Zhiyi's writings, "Hokke Gengi," "Hokke Mongu," and "Maka Shikan" (the Three Great Works). In Japan, Saicho, the Dengyo Daishi, went to Tang China in the 23rd year of Enryaku (804), received the transmission of the Dharma from Master Dao Sui of Guoqing Temple on Mount Tiantai, and returned to Japan the following year to transmit it. Centered on Enryaku-ji Temple on Mount Hiei, it produced many outstanding monks and formed a major force in Japanese Buddhism.
