It is the instruction based on Hokekyo "people can Jobutsu when anyone has and does his best in the element which gets used to the Buddha."

It can be said that it is characteristic to have the composition of having gathered the instruction of the typical Buddhist Schools in a lot of Japan. Probably, in addition to the instruction of Zen, etc., you may call it the synthetic Buddhist Schools where the instruction of esoteric Buddhism was also taken in. It was referred to as Daimitsu especially about the esoteric Buddhism of Tendaishu, Enjin and Enchin were established, and the form of the present Tendaishu was born.

Just this It is Sokushinjobutsu. Shingongyosha is practice of the body, a mouth, and the heart so that he can lead such a life -- it SanmitsugyoJissen.

3,The difference between Tendaishu and Shingoshu

　Tendaishu is a university. On the other hand, Shingoshu is existence like a college.Esoteric Buddhism is a secret instruction. Spiritual enlightenment of the Buddha which cannot be expressed with words at all is told with magic.That is, he cannot understand other than the pupil who faced each other a teacher and directly.It will become secret as a result. One of "Wanting you to lend the Buddhist scripture" is in one of the causes by which Kukai and Saicho broke.Also this "Can he understand only by reading the Buddhist scripture?It is based on the reason that fellow understands nothing."Tendaishu is the cult which aimed at systematization of the whole Buddhism. That is, various instructions are stuffed.

That occupies a center especially is the Buddhist scripture called Hokekyo. That is, if it learns by HiezanEnryakuji which is the Honzan, it will arrive at the instruction of either.It had played a role of a university in the literal meaning.There were also those who newly start a cult among graduate persons.

【Jodo】Jodoshu , Jodoshinshu

【Hoke】Nichirenshu

Except Hokekyo, Nichiren considers it as a wrong way and is known for having attacked other religions.However, Tendaishu is not contained in it.As for this, the core of Tendaishu is Hokekyo and the excessive thing is mixed.However, it is because it understands that Hokekyo is not necessarily neglected.
