Huayan school

The Huayan School is a prominent tradition in Chinese Buddhism, rooted in the Mahayana sect. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things through the principle of "dependent origination," which suggests that everything arises in relation to everything else. The school is known for its intricate cosmology and philosophical texts, particularly the "Avatamsaka Sutra." Huayan promotes the idea of the "one and the many," illustrating how individual phenomena reflect the whole universe, thus encouraging practitioners to cultivate insight into the unity and diversity of existence. This perspective fosters compassion and a deeper understanding of reality.
