The "Huayan Puxian Xingyuan Cultivation and Realization Ritual" is a Buddhist practice manual compiled by the eminent Song Dynasty monk Jingyuan. Centered on Huayan philosophy, it integrates the cultivation methods of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's Ten Great Vows. Jingyuan was a key figure in the Northern Song Huayan school, dedicated to reviving its teachings. This work systematically outlines the complete stages of practice from initial aspiration to Buddhahood, emphasizing the Huayan characteristics of balancing contemplation and practice, and harmonizing principle and phenomena. Its content includes practical methods such as prostrations and repentance, recitation, and visualization. As an important ritual text of the Huayan school, it reflects the mature form of Huayan practice systems during the Song Dynasty, exerting a profound influence on later Huayan cultivation. It remains an essential text for studying Huayan practice methods to this day.
