It is grouped with the Mahayana schools of Buddhism.

Tiantai Buddhism is one of the most influential yet least understood schools of Buddhism in China. I guess you can say that it's mysterious.

^ This book provided a nice insight to the school and it's doctrine. This goes without saying that you'll need to understand a nice portion of the Lotus Sutra in order to understand the connections between Tiantai Buddhism and the word of the Buddha.

There were a lot of factors that played a part, that was also one.

Ah, I read some of the Lotus Sutra before, not the whole thing though.

Some schools of Buddhism detail minimal thought, like Sotō Zen Buddhism, while other schools may involve more comprehensive thought, like Tiantai Buddhism.

I favor the latter. ^~^

Wrong, Rome fell because of its unchecked growth, constant wars with the Parthians and Germanic peoples, and then absorbing all types of Germanic people into the Empire and specifically the legions which resulted in most of the army having more loyalty towards their tribe that to Rome.
You wanna see Roman warlike spirit? Look at the CHRISTIAN Byzantine Empire. They continued Roman civilization as a Christian Empire until their inevitable fall, only in 1453.

Um, which wasn't taken fondly with a lot of the Pagans and affected the previous spirit that brought Rome to what it was, so yes it was a factor. Not saying the diffusion of Christianity was bad but it did play a part.

Legal, but God punished Rome for her acts against the early Church. Rome still fell but the church lived on and grew. Rome the Empire turned into Rome the Church.

Historically, not really, that was a bad example, weak one at best.

A nice counter argument, simply saying it is not a good argument is not equal to a counter.

It's hard to argue against something with no sources or evidence
