Tiantai

Tiantai is a traditional Chinese Buddhist school founded in the 6th century, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all phenomena and the importance of aligning practice with the teachings of the Lotus Sutra. It promotes understanding that everything in the universe is part of an interconnected whole and encourages practitioners to develop wisdom, morality, and compassion through meditation, study, and ethical living. Tiantai also advocates a comprehensive approach, integrating different Buddhist teachings and methods to achieve enlightenment, making it a highly systematic and inclusive tradition within Chinese Buddhism.
