Cause-and-effect relationships are an important aspect in understanding the phi- losophy of Chinese Buddhism. The article discusses the idea of the interaction of all phe- nomena and objects of the nature of existence, which do not have a real essence, but are a consequence of their emptiness having no negative quality. The philosophy of Chinese Buddhism reflects the harmony of the existence of the world with all objects, emphasizing the unity of all that exists with the nature of existence. This article considers the classifica- tions of the worldview aspects of cause-and-effect relationships that contribute to over- coming the false picture of the world, the so-called "clouded mind", refuting the illusion of subject-object relations, achieving the true nature of existance and the harmony of all cause-and-effect relationships. The creation of the Huayan school led to the development of forms and methods in the theory of Chinese Buddhism. The author of this theory was the Chinese philosopher Fazang, who believed that the origin of all things and phenomena in the nature of existence is a consequence of cause-and-effect relationships.
