 | Tendai Mikkyo is a total system of self-actualization made up of methods for quieting and centering the mind. |
 | Mikkyo is a solitary practice, not a religion. |
 | Mikkyo instruction, in general, takes place between Teacher (Sensei) and Disciple (Deshi). To undertake a commitment to a specific Teacher is to form a Karmic Link with that aspect of the Lineage known as Tendai. As Deshi, we are striving to authenticate the oral teachings as passed down over the ages in a protected fashion. |

 | Mikkyo by definition is an orally-transmitted lineage body of teachings, practices and interpretations of Japanese Buddhism. |
