Daishi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the Japanese term. For the BattleMech, see Daishi (BattleMech).
Daishi (大師?) is a Japanese word which means great and/or silent master. It was also used as an honorary title given by the Japanese Imperial Court. The closest English translation for the word in this case would be a "great teacher." Two well known recipients are Kūkai (or Kōbō Daishi) and Saichō (or Dengyō Daishi), the founders of the Shingon and Tendai Buddhist sects, respectively.
