Huayan Buddhism Flower Garland

Upvote:2

華嚴 (Hua-yan) literally means "flower garland". The name is the Chinese translation of "Avatamsaka". The name Flower Garland is meant to suggest the crowning glory of a Buddha's profound understanding of ultimate reality. The Avatamsaka sutra contains the following verse:

In each dust-mote of these worlds

Are countless worlds and Buddhas...

From the tip of each hair of Buddha's body

Are revealed the indescribable Pure Lands...

The indescribable infinite Lands

All ensemble in a hair's tip [of Buddha]
