Fawu's Shi moheyan lun zanxuan shu (Zanxuan shu) is a commentary on the Shi moheyan lun and, with Zhifu's Shi moheyan lun tongxuan chao, occupies an important position as a work showing the high level of Liao Buddhism. But, in spite of its importance, there are extremely few studies about the Zanxuan shu.
This paper aims to clarify the concrete content of the Zanxuan shu and examines vol. 1, 2 concerning the influence of Huayan thought. This study is a starting point toward a general elucidation of Liao Buddhism.
