"There are two schools of Buddhism which interest me: Zen and Hua-yen. The scholastic name for Zen is the Doctrine of the Buddha-heart. Its goal is to attain Satori (enlightenment) through meditation, and through a permanent contemplative lifestyle. The Chinese word Hua-Yen means "the Flower decoration," as translated from the Sanskrit Avatamsaka, which is a doctrine concerned with one thing: reaching an understanding of Totality through the great many teachings of Mahayana."More papers on Two Schools of Buddhism:
