Exchanges of Huayen StudyDiscussions about studies of Huayen Buddhism. I was with Master Haiyun for a week in Ann Arbor, his reply to many existential questions raised by us:
Illusive Life consists of three elements:
過去播出於佛衛電視台,海雲法師開示:
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.

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. http://www.wisdom-books.com/Category.asp?PG=B&SHID=5&SID=17&CID=28

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. ?
和上開示: 華嚴經導讀(二):第二章【〈十行品〉— 十種實踐力】 第13-14頁: 欲界眾生就是欲望強;五欲愈輕,升天愈高。 我們在這裡爬來爬去,欲望一樣重;故得先免除黏住在我們的那個因素—「欲」。
「欲」從兩方面來論:一是傷害我們的七情五欲的「欲」,另外一方面則是「欲神足」的「欲」,亦即志願、志氣。這兩個同出一個根源。
和上開示: 華嚴經導讀(一):第十一章【從名號中了解修行因地與果地的關係】 第138頁:
修行怎麼修?
就是透過處理事情,看到眾生的心念,由此激發自身,反觀本身心念的盲點。
和上開示: 華嚴經導讀(一):第十章【世界成就】 第126至127頁: 人若喪失了靈性,便會處處與人斤斤計較,在得失之間、在面子上計較。
為什麼呢?因為他透過對立來證明自我的存在。 內心愈空虛,就愈對立;若無對象可對立,他就垮了!雖然我們常說「化對立為圓融」,但這種人就是沒辦法。
和上開示: 華嚴經導讀(二)第九章:「離世間,先了解這世間」—第118頁
大凡世界上的戰爭,不是為糧食、資源而戰,就是為宗教的意識形態而戰。這個意識形態會使人的自我、我執去創造出一個「至尊」無上的教主,因而難容異己。
各位大德: 空是講本體。空是無形無相,無聲無嗅,不可言說,無有名字,它無所不在,你知道嗎?
既然無所不在,在哪裡呢?宇宙中的森羅萬象都是空,包括你、我、他、山河大地、黃花、落葉都是,不是無形無相嗎?怎麼會有這個東西呢?那叫空性。空性的性,這空起作用叫空性。那個作用森羅萬象就出現了,那叫空性。
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;
