The Huayan scholar-monk Fazang (643-712) formulated, with the
‘Ten Subtle and Unimpeded Dharma-Gates’ of Pratītyasamutpāda,
or ‘Ten Dharma-Gates,’ a series of cognitive and affective
paradigms that describe how the Enlightenment-Mind apprehends
reality. These patterns, in turn, model the way Buddhists
understand, explain, configure, reflection, imagine, and engage the
world. The basis for these paradigms is the truth and experience of
pratītyasamutpāda, ‘dependent-co-arising,’ which the Buddha
intuited. This book traces the origins and unfolding of the insight
of an interdependent and multi-centered reality, which Fazang
crystallizes with the ‘Ten Dharma-Gates,’ and employs that
insight to reflect on modern ethical and moral concerns, curriculum
design, and aesthetics. Examination of the presuppositions of
Buddhist thought—distinguishing it from the certainty of
absolute-centered ideologies that subsume all meaning and
values—should be of interest to academics. Aestheticians,
artists, and Buddhist devotees will appreciate the intuitive
sources of Buddhism. This book opens new vistas for Buddhist
studies.
