Project description

The Buddhist Tiantai school was different from all other schools of Chinese Buddhism, as it remained confined

to the Tiantai Mountains, while other schools spread over all of China. I will demonstrate that the Tiantai

school's dedication to this area resulted from the devotion to the school founder, Zhiyi, who chose the Tiantai

Mountains as the site for his school.
