 Huayan is one of these traditions. Chief among the scriptures responsible for its distinctive teachings are the Avatamsaka (Flower Garland) Sutra and Awakening of Faith in Mahayana. Huayan takes its name from the Avatamsaka Sutra (Ch. Huayan jing), which presents a dizzyingly complex and intricate vision of reality as thoroughly “interpenetrating,” of Buddhahood as coextensive with all there is, and of the features of reality as completely dependent upon the mind and deeds of sentient beings. Awakening of Faith in Mahayana develops the theory of the tathagatagarbha, (Skt. for “Buddha-embryo” or “Buddha-womb”), the potentiality of Buddhahood. It posits One Mind as the foundation of reality. It also ascribes to One Mind two aspects, tathata (Skt. for “suchness” or “thusness”) and samsara. Tathata refers to reality as experienced without dukkha; it is generally taken to be non-conceptual and hence incapable of being expressed in words. Samsara is reality as experienced with dukkha. Awakening of Faith in Mahayana presents these aspects as mutually inclusive and inseparable.
