The Tendai Sangha of Australia offers the traditional practises of the Japanese Tendai school of Mahayana Buddhism for the first time in Australia. For 1200 years the Tendai sect of Buddhism has played a significant role in the development of Japanese Buddhism. However, until recently Tendai was largely unknown in the west. This is beginning to change due to the tremendous effort and untiring work of a few high ranking Tendai priest's and we proudly offer these teachings in the hope that we may in some small measure "light up a corner of (our) world".
