Buddhist Teaching of Totality by Garma C.C. Chang

The Hwa Yen School was established in the T`ang period, roughly in the 7th and 8th centuries A.D. by outstanding thinkers such as Tu Shun and Fa Tsang. The teaching of this School is based mainly upon the Gandavyuha or Avatamsaka Sutra and draws inspiration from it. Its messages are directed to those who appreciate the one inspiring Infinity of Buddhahood revealed in Buddha`s Enlightenment experience. Inspired by the revelation of the all-embracing Totality in this Sutra, the pioneer Hwa Yen thinkers developed what was at that time a novel approach to Buddhist thinking. They taught that the correct way of thinking is to view things through a multiple or totalistic approach. Hwa Yen is a synthesis of all major Mahayana thoughts, a philosophy of totalistic organism. The three major concepts of Mahayana--namely, the philosophies of Totality, of Emptiness and of Mind only--are all merged into a unity. This volume includes the gist and the essential elements of Hwa Yen teachings, especially the philosophical aspects. The author offers here a useful mixture of translated passages, factual information and discussion, and finest quality of the book being its clarity. GARMA CHEN-CHI CHANG, Professor of Buddhism in the Department of Religious Studies at The Pennsylvania State University, is an acknowledged expert on the theory and practice of Tibetan Yoga and Zen and is considered one of the foremost scholars and teachers of Buddhist philosophy in the Western world.
