The Grand Rapids Buddhist Temple and Zen Center is an American temple whose roots are in the Hua Yen School. We emphasize the interdependence and interbeing of all things, the emptiness of all phenomena, the inherent Buddha nature in all beings, and the bodhisattva aspiration. The Hua Yen school is the foundation of the Chan (Zen) school. The Avatamsaka Sutra is our foundational teaching. Additionally, we stress inclusiveness and a living experience of the Buddha Dharma. We strive to bring the Buddha Dharma to the everyday lives of the Sangha. Our Sangha is made up of folks who have full time jobs and families, or who are students, so we emphasize practical applications of the Buddha's teaching.
