Lingrun’s Fourteen Doctrinal Points in the Yijuanzhang

Abstract

In his Yijuanzhang (一巻章) the Tang monk Lingrun 霊潤 discusses 14 doctrinal points, among which are the Four Noble Truths. I examine this from the perspective of the acceptance of the new-style sutra translations of xuanzang. As a result, I find that doubt is raised in the Yogācārabhūmi and Xianyang shengjiao lun, and resolved in the Cheng weishi lun.
