| Abstract | This article reappraises the interaction between Saicho (767-822) and
Kukai (774-835), founders, respectively, of the Japanese Tendai and
Shingon schools of Buddhism. This new appraisal is based on the histori
cal conditions in which these two men sought to introduce new types of
Buddhism at the close of the age of Nara Buddhism, rather than on the
conventional, idealized characterizations of the two figures as the founding
fathers of their respective schools. What emerges is the unbridgeable differ
ence between Saicho and Kukai in their interpretive strategies for delineat
ing the role of esoteric Buddhism (Mikkyd) in establishing a new order in
the early Heian Buddhist community, a difference that presented itself as a
persistent tension that underlay saicho ys alliance with Kukai from the very
outset of their relationship. |
