Huayen-thought and Zen-thought are influenced each other. Especially, Dahui(大慧) and Linjizong`s monks emphasized ``enter a tower`` story of Avatamsaka Sutra. Hwayen`s monks, Kanwachan`s monks and Mozhaochan`s monks give an different explanation on that. Fazhang(法藏) explained that ``the door-opened(門開)`` and ``the door-closed(還閉)`` have same value. But Dahui and Kanwachan`s monks emphasized ``the door-closed`` than ``the door-opened``. And, Mozhaochan`s monks only described ``the door-opened``. This difference is due that Kanwachan`s monks value ``initial enlightenment(始覺)`` and Mozhaochan`s monks value ``original enlightenment(本覺)``.
