*''Japanese'': 勧学会 ''(kangaku-e)''
The ''Kangaku-e'', or Assembly for Chinese Learning, was a group of some twenty Confucian literati from Kyoto, and some twenty scholar-monks from [[Mt. Hiei]], who met regularly in the 10th-11th centuries, for the study of Buddhist and other Chinese materials.
[[Minamoto no Tamenori]] (d. [[1008]]) was a founding member of the group; the monk [[Choken|Chôken]] was another prominent member.
In addition to more regular meetings, the group held bi-annual lecture assemblies, called ''kôe'', in which they devoted themselves to the study of the [[Lotus Sutra]] in the morning, ''[[nenbutsu]]'' in the evening, and the composition of Chinese poems (''[[kanshi]]'') at night.
