Hua-Yen and Zen Practice

Description:

Fumyo’s dharma talk considers aspects of the Hua Yen world view and how it is expressed in our Zen practices.

The Hua Yen system of thinking arose from the commentaries of Chinese scholars studying the Avatamsaka Sutra. These perspectives provide the philosophical bedrock for Zen and have influenced Zen practices through the ages to this day.

As Zen practitioners, how we experience our worlds and how we respond to all the interdependent relationships within them are infused with a Hua Yen world view.
