</script>Tiantai and Tendai are closely related and often conflated. Arguably, they are not simply an "interchangeable Chinese and Japanese name" for an unchanged and continuous tradition. Tiantai is the indigenous Chinese Buddhist system that solidified around the teachings of Master Zhiyi in the sixth century and provided a doctrinal framework, based on the Lotus Sutra, to understand many streams of Dharma entering China in a cohesive way.
