Hua-yen is regarded as the highest form of Buddhism by most modern Japanese and Chinese scholars. This book is a description and analysis of the Chinese form of Buddhism called Hua-yen (or Hwa-yea), Flower Ornament, based largely on one of the more systematic treatises of its third patriarch. Hua-yen Buddhism strongly resembles Whitehead’s process philosophy, and has strong implications for modern philosophy and religion.Hua-yen Buddhism explores the philosophical system of Hua-yen in greater detail than does Garma C.C. Chang’s The Buddhist Teaching of Totality (Penn State, 1971).
