Guo Cheen is a Mahayana Buddhist nun who founded The Compassion Network in Seattle, Washington. She is also a co-editor of Women, Spirituality and Transformative Leadership:Where Grace Meets Power.
In this study . . . Guo Cheen has made a substantial contribution
to contemporary Buddhist Studies. Chengguan's commentaries on the
Avatamsaka/Huayan Sutra were among the most important endeavors in
Chinese Buddhist philosophy. Having them now available in English
translation extends our realization that the philosophy of
‘interrelatedness’ is one of the greatest gifts from the Buddhist
tradition to our moment in time.
