| Abstract | To all religious people, ``invocation and response (感應)`` is the driving force behind faith. In Buddhism, it is the communion of the Buddha``s mind with the mind of the practitioner. To be more specific, it is the mindset of faith and/or the inherent good within sentient beings that interacts and communicates with the minds of buddhas and bodhisattvas; this causes the buddhas and bodhisattvas to respond. Thus, it is a recognition of our mindset of faith by the Buddha and his response to it. The Lotus Sutra preaches most vividly the concept of ``invocation and response`` between Buddha and practitioners. Furthermore, the Lotus Sutra was the basis for the Beophwa Yeongheom-jeon (法華靈驗傳, Miraculous Talks of the Lotus Sutra) which explains miraculous cases of ``invocation and response`` in China and Korea. Tiantai Zhiyi (天台智議, 538-97), technically listed as the fourth patriarch but also the de facto founder of the Tiantai school in China, explained ``invocation and response`` in the interpretation of ``Invocation and Marvelous Response (感應妙)`` in his book Fahua xuanyi (法華玄義, Profound Meaning of the Lotus Sutra). He said ``invocation and response`` is an interaction of the empathy or receptivity of sentient beings and the response (``grace``) of a buddha or the Dharma. |
