The expression was originally developed in China and used by Tendai Buddhists to distinguish an absolute truth from its historical manifestation (for example, the eternal Buddha from the historical Buddha, or the absolute Dharma from its historical forms, the first being the honji, the second the suijaku).
Finnish[fi]
Honji suijaku -termin kehitti alun perin tendai-buddhalaisuus erottamaan absoluuttisen totuuden sen historiallisesta ilmenemistavasta, esimerkiksi ikuisen Buddhan historiallisesta Buddhasta tai absoluuttisen dharman sen todellisista, historiallisista muodoista. ”Honji” viittasi ensimmäiseen, ”suijaku” toiseen.
