³ There is a traditional list of twelve Japanese sects, which do not represent the actual conditions. See R. Fujishima, Le bouddhisme japonais. Some of the twelve were never sects, and Sir C. Eliot (Enc. Brit., xii, 928) omits three and puts in their place three branches of the Tendai sect. There are, however, far more than twelve if branches are recognized. See p. 256.
