All the religions of the world advocate importance of the Faith and emphasize the absolute meaning of the Faith in theory and practice of the religions. Buddhism is no exception. There are four words of the Faith in Buddhism in Sanskrit: śraddhā, prasāda, adhimukti and bhakti. The word “śraddhā” has been used generally since Vedic philosophy in India and is relative to the word “suspicion”. The word “prasāda” contains some meanings of clear, purification, joy, satisfaction and is translated into the Jing-xin（淨信）, Cheng-jing（澄淨）, Huan-xi（歡喜）, Xin-xin（信心） in the Chinese translations of Buddhist scriptures. The Jing-xin（淨信） and Cheng-jing（澄淨） are close to the religious characteristics of Buddhism such as “Silent” and “sedate” and are different from the general religious fanatic. The word “Adhimukti” means the Relief and Observation of the Heart and is translated into the Xin-jie（信解）, Sheng-jie（勝解）, Xin-le（信樂） and so on in the Chinese translations of Buddhist scriptures. The word “Bhakti” means the Worship and Attend meaning and generally translated into the Xin-ai （信愛）, Xin-jing（信敬）, Cheng-xin（誠信） and so on. The word containsthe fanatic and devoted connotation of the Faith to God or religion. Although the word has appeared in the Buddhist literature, it isn’t too much or promoted. Therefore, the words “prasāda” and “adhimukti” represent the Faith combined withthe wisdom and clean in Buddhism and possessthe intellectual and rationalreligion connotation. So this is the common basic content and basic idea of practice both in the Hinayana and Mahayana. There are three famous parts related to the explain of Faith in the Buddhāvatamsaka -mahāvaipulya-sūtra （華嚴經）: 1、「深信諸佛及正法，亦信菩薩所行道。正心信向佛菩薩，菩薩因是初發心。信於法門無障礙，捨離八難得無難。信能超出諸魔境，示現開發無上道。信為道元功德母，增長一切諸善法，除滅一切諸疑惑，示現開發無上道。信能捨離諸染著，信解微妙甚深法。信能轉勝成衆善，究竟必至如來處。」（《大正藏》第 9 册，433a－b） 2、「於佛及法僧，深起清淨信。信敬三寶故，能發菩提心。」（《大正藏》第9 册，433a） 3、「聞此法歡喜，信心無疑者。速成無上道，與諸如來等。」（《大正藏》第9 册，788a－b） The premise and basis of the achievement of wisdom and the completion of Buddhism is the “Pure Faith”, whichis also the secret of “full Faith and becoming a Buddha”（信满成佛，《華嚴經》〈賢首菩薩品〉） in the way of Mahayana Bodhisattva. This speech will try to explain the theoretic and practical significant of the “Pure Faith” in Mahayana Buddhism specifically Bodhisattva’s way of Hua-yan sect and expound the complementary relationship between Faith and Practice in the Hua-yan sect and Zen sect by Buddhāvatamsaka -mahāvaipulya-sūtra（華嚴經）, especially the chapters of Xian-shou Bodhisattva（賢首菩薩品）and going to the Dharma-dhatu（入法界品）. Another literature are some works of Mahayana Buddhism such as the Lotus Sutra（法華經）,Great Treatise on the Perfection of Wisdom（大智度論）, Mahayana śraddhotpada śāstra（大乘起信論） and some writings of famous monks in the Huayan sect and Zen sect. As everyone knows, Faith is a prerequisite for the achieving Bodhisattva’s way of Hua-y
