Saicho (767-822), the founder of the Tendai School, is one of the
great masters of Japanese Buddhism. This edition, which includes a
new preface by the author, makes available again a classic work on
this important figure's life and accomplishments. Groner's study
focuses on Saicho's founding of the great monastic center on Mount
Hiei, the leading religious institution of medieval Japan, and his
radical move to adopt for purposes of ordination the Mahayana
bodhisattva precepts--a decision that had far-reaching consequences
for the future of Japanese Buddhist ethical thought, monastic
training and organization, lay-clerical relations, philosophical
developments, and Buddhism-state relations.
