About this listen

All Buddhist paths lead to enlightenment—but Tiantai is the master key.

Some schools focus on meditation. Others emphasize devotion or philosophical inquiry. Tiantai Buddhism unites them all into a single, structured system—a tradition so comprehensive that it explains why every teaching exists, how they relate, and how they lead to awakening. If you’ve ever wondered how Zen, Pure Land, and the Lotus Sutra connect, Tiantai holds the answers.

  • How can a single moment of thought contain an entire universe?
  • Why does Tiantai teach that the Buddha never left the world?
  • What is the Threefold Truth, and how can it change the way you see reality?

Built on the genius of Zhiyi, Tiantai provides a complete framework for Buddhist practice—balancing study, meditation, and ethical action. Whether you’re new to Buddhism or looking to deepen your understanding, this book will take you inside the philosophy that shaped East Asian Buddhism for over a thousand years.

You don’t have to be a scholar to grasp these insights. You just need the right guide. Order your copy today and step into the wisdom of Tiantai.

Informative overview

A good overview of the origins, history, and influence of Tiantai Buddhism, but with no practical information. LOTS of repetition of the main points. The “virtual voice” was less irritating than expected.
