Enryaku-ji on the mountain northeast of Kyoto is the head temple of the school, founded by Saicho, and almost every founder of a later Japanese school trained there.

The liturgical chant of the Japanese esoteric schools, sung in Sanskrit-derived and Sino-Japanese syllables and taught as a discipline in its own right.

Tendai clergy married in large numbers after the decree, which changed the practice of the school without changing its rule.

Tendai holds buddha-nature universal, and Japanese Tendai extended it to grasses, trees and the land itself, a position with no exact counterpart in Indian Buddhism.

Tendai takes the Lotus Sutra's one vehicle as its organising claim: the earlier teachings are provisional and every one of them leads to the single goal of buddhahood.

Medieval Japanese Tendai developed original enlightenment into a distinct body of teaching, and the Kamakura founders all trained on Mount Hiei inside it before leaving to teach something narrower.

The Lotus Sutra, in Kumarajiva's Chinese translation, became this school's central scripture following Zhiyi's ranking of the Buddha's teachings.

Tendai transmitted the reckoning of the latter age into Japan, and it is from Tendai that Honen, Shinran, Dogen and Nichiren each inherited the problem their own answers were framed to solve.

Saicho brought esoteric transmission back from China alongside the Lotus teaching, and Tendai carries an esoteric curriculum beside its exoteric one. That curriculum passes only under initiation from a teacher and its content is not published.
