Introduction
We welcome you to peer within the Japanese Tendai Buddhist School, as transmitted from its Chief Temple atop Mount Hiei, Japan. Through a proven method of human actualization, the Tendai Lotus Teachings have for years brought Awakening to humankind. These teachings are presented here in new fashion to Western seekers in hopes of expanding the evolutionary development of the Tendai Sect.
Through embarking upon the Lotus Path, Tendai practitioners are investigating the constituents of their own Minds, discovering that our highest potential rests inherent within us as a Jewel Seed, a realizable asset with which to bring about our own Awakening and Realization. The Founder of the Japanese Tendai Denomination remarked that "The aspiration for enlightenment is a treasure, and those who aspire for enlightenment are the treasure of the nation." Presenting the Tendai Teachings to a Western audience allows that motto to transcend not only national boundaries but cultural and racial lines of division as well, enabling the Tendai Path Seeker to be a "Treasure of the Universe."
