An Introduction to Hua-Yen Buddhism
Description
Unlikethe previous reviewer, I don't think that this is the besttranslation of Hua-Yen principles. Rather, I would say that they allcompliment each other in such a way where your understanding of thevast scope of literature will be born from within while reading inreflection of the others. Thus, reading them all (there's not thatmany), helps to engage yourself with the immensity of understandingso that it truly resonates with you. I have just finished utilizingHua-Yen thought as model of perception in my Masters thesis and ...it changed my life. Really.
Hua-Yenthought is not an easy understanding to grasp. It takes a lot ofstudy and meditation for its understanding to sit within you. This isa very good starting point as it cuts out a lot of the jargon thatother interpreters prefer and allows you to read it and sit with it.Yet and still, its simpler approach only shines in the light of theother texts.
Thereis some antidotal stuff online as well. But, if you are interested inthis school of Buddhism and its vision of totality ... this is a goodstart.
