There are two annotations for the Smaller Sukhavativyuha regarded as written by Ji 基, the founder of the Chinese Faxiang 法相 school. One is called Amituojing shu 『阿弥陀経疏』, the other Amituojing tongzanshu 『阿弥陀経通賛疏』. From ancient times there has been a question whether these are genuine works of Ji. While there is good reason to doubt the attribution of both works, we should analyze how Ji's thought was accepted in these books. A few points different from Ji's thought are found in Amituojing shu. For example this book speaks of the ten Amita-buddha invocations, which Ji did not affirm. On the other hand, the author of the Amituojing tongzanshu understands Ji's thought well. Unfortunately, Amituojing tongzanshu has attracted little attention from scholars. In this paper, I want to point out the value of the Amituojing tongzanshu, which in accepting the ideas of Ji accurately is more valuable than the Amituojing shu.
