 Hwaom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The greatest lasting impact of the Huayan school was to be seen in Korea, where it was transmitted by Uisang 義湘, who had been, along with Fazang, a student of Zhiyan.
After Uisang returned to Korea in 671, he worked vigorously toward the establishment of the Hwaeom school on the peninsula.
In this effort, he was greatly aided by the powerful influences of his friend Wonhyo 元曉, who although not an official representative of the school, relied deeply on Hwaeom metaphysical principles to establish his concept of interpenetrated Buddhism 通佛教.

 Korean Buddhism: A Short Overview
Uisang, unlike Weonhyo, made the journey to Changan, where he had the opportunity to become a disciple of the second Huayan patriarch Zhiyan (智 儼; 600-668), studying as a senior to the eminent third Huayan patriarch Fazang (法藏; 643-712).
Uisang spent twenty years in China and became a Huayan master of high repute before returning to his homeland.
On his return to Korea, Uisang was highly influential with the rulership, and along with deeply planting the mark of Hwaeom in the Korean Buddhist consciousness, also greatly contributed to the physical establishment of Buddhism on the peninsula by overseeing the construction of numerous temples.

Uisang although may not have been a prolific writer, his mastery of Hua-Yen thought was highly regarded throughout East Asia.
Uisang's Hwaom thought is epitomized in his Hwaom il sung popkedo (Diagram of the Avata"msaka, one vehicle realm of reality), a short poem of 210 logographs in a total of 30 stanzas written in 668 which is highly appreciated in the philosophy of Hwaom.
Wonhyo and Uisang, who were most influenced by T'ien-t'ai and Hua-yen doctrines as we have seen, however, had created "new" type of synthesis whereby all the doctrines were given equal importance.
