Hello,

I have only recently discovered the existence of the historical Hua Yen Buddhism and Ven. Haiyun Jimeng.  I have been reading as much English language material (I'm not Chinese and don't read or speak Chinese) from Ven. Jimeng's book, the English material from the Hua Yen Quarterly newsletter to unrelated Hua Yen books that I've been able to locate.

I located some more Huayen buddhism english text, quite interesting:-

enjoy. 

Hello, I have come across some Huayen related books and I like "The Jewel Net of Indra"  by Thomas H. Cook.

To clarify ahead:- I am not related to Wisdom books and this is not an attempt to sell books, I believe these books could be found in other book stores.

In your site you say: 

The integration of the teachings of the Avatamsaka Sutra with both Chan and tantric methods is a unique characteristic of Huayen practice.

I understand more or less what you mean by Ch'an, however I would like to you what kind of Tantra do you practice - is it the "ecoteric Buddhism" of Zhenyan/Shingon 真言, or some of Tibetan tantras or maybe Taoist methods?

If your tantric metod is based on Tibetan Vajrayana, do you have preference eg. for Guhyasamaja, Hevajra, Kalachakra, Dzogchen etc. ?

 請佛住世，從字面上，好像是佛菩薩和大德要走了，我們世人苦苦挽留他繼續留下來度世人。昨天參加底特律分會華藏工程關于此的學習討論，這里談談我個人關于請“誰”住世的一些想法。

（1）我們不僅要請佛菩薩和大德們留下，一切對于提高我們生命品質的善知識也要敬請留下；

From Dr. Tony Prince:

三月十一日華藏工程研討的主題華嚴經普賢行願品

I would like to personally thank Ling Fung for her suggestion:-

A suggestion for "The Dawn of Enlightenment". The following is an excerpt from my e-mail conversations with Dr. Tony Prince:

Besides Ven. Haiyun's

The Dawn of Enlightenment -The Opening Passage of Avatamsaka Sutra with a Commentary

that is now available on Amazon.com,

another good reading material in Huayen is:

Manifestation of the Tathagata - Buddhahood According to the Avatamsaka Sutra

Introduced and translated by Cheng Chien Bhikshu. Great Book that I highly recommended.

Another Good Buddhism Reading is:

Who Ordered This Truckload of Dung? - Inspiring Stories for Welcoming Life's Difficulties

by Ajahn Brahm.

All of the above books are available in Amazon.com.

Ven. Haiyun first English book , translated by Dr. Tony Prince, is now available at Amazon .com.

The title of the book is "THe Dawn of Enlightenment - The Opening Passage of Avatamsaka Sutra with a Commentary"

Feel free to write a review in this Forum or on Amazon.com.

For Toronto readers or members, you can purchase the book from HYBC-Toronto Chapter.

Thanks

現在人太忙碌,無時無刻腦筋都在過去,未來之間打轉,無法專注在每個當下,因此耗損了許多生命能量,試著想想我們曾幾何時,吃飯時可以細細品嚐每粒米香,品嚐到水的甘甜,心,往往無法專注在一件正在做的事情上
