Influence
The doctrines of the Huayan school ended up having profound impact on the philosophical attitudes of all of East Asian Buddhism.
Chinese Chán was profoundly influenced by it, though Chán also defined itself by profilating itself from Huayan. Tsung-mi, the Fifth Patriarch of the Hua-yen school, also occupies a prominent position in the history of Chán. During the Song, the Hua-yen metaphysics were completely assimilated by the Chán-school.
