Huayan (Avatamsaka)

Huayan, or Avatamsaka, is a Chinese Buddhist tradition emphasizing the interconnectedness and harmony of all phenomena. It teaches that everything in the universe deeply influences and reflects everything else, like a vast, intricate web. This perspective encourages viewing the world with compassion and understanding, recognizing that individual well-being is linked to the well-being of the whole. Rooted in the Avatamsaka Sutra, Huayan highlights the profound unity behind diversity, inspiring practitioners to seek wisdom and compassion through awareness of the interconnected nature of reality.
