      But, with the systematizings of modern commerce, these duplex operations are no longer convenient or profitable; in other words, they are rendered impossible. "Cash" is now the only recognized means of purchase []

      THE T’IEN-T’AI SCHOOL
      Many of Su’s closest Buddhist friends belonged to the T’ien-t’ai school of Buddhism. The man who completed the systematizing of the doctrines of the T’ien-t’ai school and is thus regarded as its founder was Chih-i (538-597), who spent most of his teaching life on Mt. T’ien-t’ai in what is today Chekiang province.
