About this title

Review:

"The excellent introduction stresses that Hua-yen philosophy is not just a system of thought but rather a set of practical exercises, the value of which is in discovering a new perspective in which both unity and diversity are interrelated.... Thoroughly recommended to all Buddhists wishing to deepen and widen their understanding, and a 'must' for all seriously practising Buddhists of whatever persuasion, as a check on the clarification of their practice."" --The Middle Way
