The Hwa Yen school of Mahāyāna Buddhism bloomed in China in the
7th and 8th centuries A.D. Today many scholars regard its doctrines
of Emptiness, Totality, and Mind-Only as the crown of Buddhist
thought and as a useful and unique philosophical system and
explanation of man, world, and life as intuitively experienced in
Zen practice.
For the first time in any Western language Garma Chang explains
and exemplifies these doctrines with references to both oriental
masters and Western philosophers. The Buddha's mystical experience
of infinity and totality provides the framework for this objective
revelation of the three pervasive and interlocking concepts upon
which any study of Mahāyāna philosophy must depend.
Following an introductory section describing the essential
differences between Judeo-Christian and Buddhist philosophy,
Professor Chang provides an extensive, expertly developed section
on the philosophical foundations of Hwa Yen Buddhism dealing with
the core concept of True Voidness, the philosophy of Totality, and
the doctrine of Mind-Only. A concluding section includes selections
of Hwa Yen readings and biographies of the patriarchs, as well as a
glossary and list of Chinese terms.
