#Kūkai studied esoteric #Mikkyō #Buddhism in China, blending it with native #Japanese #Shintō culture to form #Shingon. #Saichō, founder of #Tendai in #Japan, studied Tiantai but reshaped it for the #Japanese context. Each of these figures inherited teachings, but they transformed them. They weren’t trying to preserve a glass museum exhibit. They were bringing practice to life, making it speak to their time.
