Tiantai Buddhism

Tiantai Buddhism is a Chinese Buddhist tradition focusing on the comprehensive understanding of teachings through the concept of the "Lotus Sutra," emphasizing that all phenomena and teachings are interconnected and reflect the ultimate truth. It advocates meditative practices, ethical conduct, and scholarly study to realize the harmony of wisdom and compassion. Central to Tiantai is the idea that enlightenment is achievable in every moment, as the true nature of reality is constantly accessible. It also introduces the "Threefold Truth," recognizing the unity of emptiness, conventional existence, and the middle way, encouraging practitioners to integrate these insights into daily life.
