Founded in 1989 by Haiyun Jimeng (海雲繼夢), Huayen-World was formally recognized by the Taiwanese Government as a non-profit religious organization in 1995. The order promotes Huayan Buddhism (華嚴) and is known for its efforts in the modernization of Chinese Buddhism. In the decade following, Huayen-World continued expanding to establish various branches across the country, including Kaohsiung, Tainan, Taipei, and Taichung, and establishing monasteries overseas, such as the Triple Crane Monastery[1][2] in Chelsea, MI.
