The *Fahua jing shoushou*, compiled and annotated by the monk Zhixiang of the Qing Dynasty, is an authoritative commentary on the *Saddharmapuṇḍarīka Sūtra*. Composed during the period of Buddhist revival in the early Qing, this work aims to systematically elucidate the profound meaning of the scripture. Its content encompasses detailed exegesis of the sutra's passages, analysis of its structural framework, and guidance on essential points of practice. Its distinctive feature lies in integrating the doctrinal perspectives of the Tiantai school, emphasizing the One Vehicle's true reality and the principle of opening provisional teachings to reveal the true. It serves as a vital guide for studying the *Lotus Sutra*. This work holds a revered position within Chinese Buddhism, regarded as a key commentary for understanding the perfect teaching of the Lotus, and has profoundly influenced later Buddhist scholarship.


妙法蓮華經授手卷第一
楚衡雲峯沙門 智祥 集
塵點劫佛。與現坐道場之十方佛。各證而默同者妙法也。妙法者何。即佛與生。靈靈共稟。歷歷孤明。無聲無色。不得以相相。無相而求者也。然此妙法。本無古今。無生滅。曷諸如來皆有出生現相轉法輪般涅槃之古今生滅耶。葢諸佛證此無古今無生滅法時。即願一切人。與未來際人。齊證乎此。眾生一日不證。諸佛一日不安。眾生積劫不證。諸佛亦積劫不安。所以不得不於無古今生滅中。示古今生滅。以濟此不證乎無古今生滅人耳。即我本師世尊。以不自安之心。來生堪忍。向本無古今生滅中。而突爾幻出不可窮盡之古今生滅。謂我以佛眼觀見六道眾生。貧窮無福慧。相續苦不斷。為是眾生故。而起大悲心。夫佛果見六道眾生貧窮。實有福慧。實無佛。即具有神力。亦不過如國王之用赦出人於苦已矣。安能使人人皆獲國王位哉。是佛抱此不安。亦與世之憫物不自安者。無以異也。亦非佛出現本懷也。要知盡無古今。盡無生滅。必在無盡古今。無盡生滅中。翻出古今生滅。到無盡極處。則盡無古今。盡無生滅。始現前矣。所以示生無非要人證此無生。示相無非要人證此無相。無何眾生著相深。著生又深。既沒於古今生滅中。非著有即著空。於佛無古今生滅義。有若相背而馳。愈趨愈遠。殆相遇無期也已。是以如來於此。遠則數百千劫往返。近則四十餘年誘引。曲盡無限血腸。磨盡無窮心髓。將人人所有之歷歷孤明者。左盤右旋。多方陶鑄。迨至以白毫光。媚牽心眼。靈運方甦。乃得令一切人。心頭眼底。搖搖動動。轆轤欲轉於空靈靈地。幾欲伸手捫摩。而又無從。故如來得此一機。本懷始暢滿。將出世來一大事。無古今生滅之因緣。開襟傾倒。權實會融。舉靈靈共稟之宗。班班委付。直至盡會中人。悉能契悟自心。實無古今。實無生滅。信知將來即此畢竟成佛。即此當度無量眾生。即此得還心佛眾生三無差別之源。即此與諸佛世尊。共一鼻孔吐氣。而佛為此一事。常不自安之鬱膈。乃得一慰。乃為我世尊出現。一翻得得。說此妙法華經。教諸菩薩。同與諸佛所最護念之本志也。
