華座想 [hua zuo xiang]—Huazuoxiang — [Term] Identical to Huazuoguan (華座觀 [hua zuo guan]). This method of contemplation is not an object that can be perceived by eye-consciousness; rather, it is solely imagined in the mind, hence it is called Huazuoxiang. The sutra states upon completion of this contemplation: "This is the Huazuoxiang, named the Seventh Contemplation (第七觀 [di qi guan])."
華座想—【術語】同華座觀。此觀法非眼識所對之境，為唯於心上想像者，故名曰華座想。經說觀了曰：「是為華座想，名第七觀。」

Its texts are mainly in Classical Chinese, based on translations from Sanskrit. Major schools include Chan (Zen), Pure Land, Tiantai, and Huayan.
