Kegon

Buddhist philosophy introduced into Japan from China in the 8th century. The name Kegon (meaning “flower ornament”) is a translation of the Sanskrit avatamsaka, after the school's chief text, the Avatamsaka-sutra, which deals with the buddha Vairocana. The school was founded in China as Huayan in the late 6th century and reached Japan c. 740. Kegon taught that all living things are interdependent and that the universe is self-creating, with Vairocana at its centre. Though the Kegon school is no longer an active faith teaching a separate doctrine, it continues to administer the famous Todai Temple monastery at Nara.
