Abstract | Most accounts of Saichō’s reforms of the ordination ceremony describe it as a substitution of the Fanwang jing precepts for those of the vinaya. However, the Lotus Sutra also served as a key element of Tendai views of the precepts and ordinations, frequently surpassing the Fanwang jing in importance. The Lotus Sutra included little that could be called precepts in the sense of rules that were to be followed. By investigating the manner in which a variety of Tendai traditions interpreted the role of the Lotus Sutra, I describe the diversity and vibrancy of the Tendai discussions of the precepts. |
