Citation Analysis of the Jingming jing guanzhong shichao

Abstract

In this paper, I analyze citations in Zishengsi Daoye’s 資聖寺道液Jingming jing guanzhong shichao 浄名経関中釈抄, and consider Daoye’s thought. Daoye was an important figure in Buddhist world in the mid-Tang period. His main works are the Jingming jing jijie guanzhong shu 浄名経集解関中疏, annotations of the Zhu Weimojie jing 注維摩詰経, and the Jingming jing guanzhong shichao, annotations of his own Jingming jing jijie guanzhong shu. In this paper, I offer evidence that Daoye received deep influence from Tiantai Zhiyi 智顗, and that he adopted the Weishi (Vijñaptimātratā) thought that became popular at that time in Chang’an.
