The doctrines of the Huayan school ended up having profound impact on the philosophical attitudes of all of East Asian Buddhism.
Yet despite basic reliance on this (A rule or aphorism in Sanskrit literature or a group of aphoristic doctrinal summaries prepared for memorization) sutra, much of the technical terminology that the school becomes famous for is not found in the sutra itself, but in the commentaries written by its early founders.
The most important philosophical contributions of the Huayan school were in the area of its metaphysics, as it taught the doctrine of the mutual containment and interpenetration of all phenomena: that one thing contains all things in existence, and that all things contain one.

What immediately differentiates Huayan from typically Indian approaches is that instead of concentrating on a diagnosis of the human problem, and exhorting and prescribing solutions for it, Huayan immediately begins from the point of view of enlightenment.
