I am having great difficulty finding a translation of the Tendai Shikyogi as it only appears in bits and pieces in the few English works on Tendai. Do the Tendai Institutes in Hawaii or New York have their own translations that are used for study? If so, is it possible to get a copy of this foundational text?
Many thanks!

English version of Tendai Shikyogi
"Inscribed with the brush of Mt. Sumeru and the ink of the seas,
Heaven-and-earth itself is the sutra book.
All phenomena are encompassed in even a single point therein,
And the six sense objects are all included within its covers."
-Kukai, translated in Kukai on the Philosophy of Language by Takagi and Dreitlein

Re: English version of Tendai Shikyogi
The text you are looking for is included in this volume Tiantai Lotus Texts from the Buddha Dendo Kyokai Numata Translation Series.
Hope that helps!

That translation is well-regarded and is very readable.
