Nanto Rokushū

The Six Schools of Nara Buddhism (六宗, Rokushū) were the principal academic traditions of Buddhism in Japan during the Nara period (710–794). Sometimes called the "Six Southern Schools of Nara" due to the location of their temples in southern Nara, these schools played a central role in the early development of Japanese Buddhist thought.
