Huayan (Flower Garland)

Huayan, or Flower Garland Buddhism, is a Mahayana tradition emphasizing the interconnectedness of all phenomena. It teaches that everything in the universe is like a brilliant flower in a vast garland, each part reflecting and interpenetrating with others. This perspective highlights the unity of all existence, where nothing is separate, and everything influences everything else. Huayan encourages viewing reality as a harmonious, infinite web of relationships, fostering wisdom, compassion, and understanding of the interconnected nature of life. It inspires practitioners to see the world holistically and recognize the profound interdependence of all things.
