Annotations on the Flower Garland Sutra
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Annotations on the Flower Garland Sutra, 華厳経疏 (Chin Hua-yen-ching-shu; Jpn Kegon-gyo-sho )
An exposition of the eighty-volume version of the Flower Garland Sutra written by Ch'eng-kuan (738-839), the fourth patriarch of the Flower Garland school (Hua-yen) in China.
It is based on a commentary on the sutra by Fa-tsang, Ch'eng-kuan's teacher and the third patriarch of the Flower Garland school.
Ch'eng-kuan later expanded this work and wrote a much longer one titled The Meaning of the Flower Garland Sutra Based on an Earlier Commentary, which is considered a major reference work in the study of this sutra along with Fa-tsang's Delving into the Profundity of the Flower Garland Sutra.
