This project translates and publishes two previously untranslated foundational Huayan texts with scholarly and practice-oriented introductions, annotations, and commentary, with the aim of immediately applying them in practice settings through hybrid meditation retreats (Barre, Center 2026, San Francisco Zen Center & Tallahassee Chan Center 2027), a month-long intensive residency course (2027), at least ten Dharma talks, two mainstream Buddhist journal articles, and more than twenty pieces of digital media. The initiative aims to integrate Huayan's profound teachings on interdependence into Western Buddhist practice and scholarship, reaching numerous practitioners directly and has the potential to reach thousands of people in the broader public sector while enriching academic studies of Chinese Buddhism.
