Emergence definition

Benten-shū emerges from the intersection of being, which provides the context for thought, and structure, which gives rise to the patterns and forms that shape the sect's teachings and practices. Form, as a manifestation of structure, further refines the sect's expression, allowing for the development of its unique characteristics and traditions.
