Quotations of the Zhiguan ji zhong Yiyi in the Mohezhiguan fuxing jianglu of Lingkong

Abstract

This paper examines six important quotations from the Zhiguan ji zhong Yiyi 止観記中異義 of Daosui 道邃 （ca. 735-811） in the Mohezhiguan fuxing jianglu 摩訶止観輔行講録 of Lingkong 霊空 （1652-1739）. The results show that all six quotations reject the view of the Zhiguan ji zhong Yiyi, and support the interpretation of the Zhiguan fuxing chuanhong jue 止観輔行伝弘決 of Zhanran 湛然 （711-782）. This suggests that Lingkong probably quotes the contents of the Zhiguan ji zhong Yiyi for the purpose of criticizing them, and follows the interpretation of Zhanran.
