Chan Contemplation in the Jueyi sanmei

Abstract

The Jueyi sanmei 覚意三昧 was taught by Zhiyi 智顗. In this paper, I tried to clarify its characteristics through comparison with the Shichan boluomi cidi famen 釈禅波羅蜜次第法門, the first lecture of Zhiyi. As a result, it became clear that the Jueyi sanmei had the same concept as did the Shichan boluomi cidi famen, but the specifics were similar to Zhiyi’s later works.
