The spirit of Indian Mahayan Buddhism is transcendent，whereas the spirit of Chinese culture is naturalistic. Some fundemental concepts of Huanyan school, such as Non-difference of tri-svabhava, Lishi Yuanyong and Shishi Yuanyong were produced by misinterpretations of Chinese Buddhism of Indian Mahayan Buddhist Teachings, e.g. Tri-svabhava theory, Advait ( non-two ) of rupa and sunya, Sama( equalness ) of all dharmas( beings ). Those misinterpretations developed under influence of Chinese tradition of natural thought. They introduced the shift of Huanyan thought from transcendence to Yuanyong.
