[Buddha-l] Question about tientai

[Luke Emmett]

Hello,

I don't know how one should use this list so apologies in advance if this is the wrong way.

I just don't understand the classification of the two truths by Chih-I. E.g. How is the separate conventional emptiness, what does that mean?
I remember an article that said that a lot of his work is quite arbitrary - I forget the exact word. Could that be fair?

Thank you in advance, I hope I can use the list to learn.

Best,
Luke
