The *Commentary on the Diamond Sutra from the Dharma Eye Perspective* (*Jingangjing Fayan Zhushu*), composed by the Qing Dynasty monk Xingqi, stands as one of the significant Buddhist commentaries of its era. From the viewpoint of the Fayan school, the author interprets the *Diamond Sutra*, integrating the essential teachings of Chan (Zen) with the insight of Prajna emptiness. It emphasizes transcending appearances, abandoning attachments, and illuminating the mind to realize one's true nature. This commentary delves deeply into the profound meaning of the sutra, balancing doctrinal understanding with practical cultivation, making it a representative work of Chan exegesis from the Qing Dynasty. It not only transmits the Buddhist wisdom of Prajna but also embodies the tradition of scriptural commentary in Chinese Buddhism. Holding considerable authority in both Buddhist philosophical history and practical guidance, it remains an important reference for studying the *Diamond Sutra* to this day.

夫道本無名,法本無說。即斯 金剛般若尊經者,乃諸佛之心印,法藏之本源。雖則 華嚴主伴等經(華嚴為主,餘經為伴),其寔皆不越乎 金剛般若心印之法也。是以 釋迦本師,於燃燈佛前,得授心印,頓入無生,以至圓極菩提,歸無所得。而又復示善現尊者,傳流法海。若非我祖彌勒大士,當補法王之位,得佛心印者,豈能宣傳八十行妙偈,解釋斯經者乎?是以 彌勒之偈,授於 無著,無著又授于 世親。親因得斯妙偈之旨,以分二十七段疑文,頓掃十地等妙二覺,脩證斷惑之見,方得露彰 金剛心印之道。由是西域流傳,盡闡斯義。自後六朝諸師翻譯,唯 羅什大師譯本,其文義方妙。然震旦諸師註釋,總未得其旨歸。而只有唐時 圭峰大師,得斯精要,故述 彌勒、無著、世親等諸偈論,以證經旨,為之纂要。然斯纂疏,其旨也淵,其文也簡,故 長水大師乃 圭峯之裔孫,循照纂要文義,分科細釋,為之刊定記文,合成四卷。後之學者又謂其記文繁義廣,難以一時便學,故諸師婆切總要,辭便義近,俱依三十二分之文註釋本經,殊不知即將彌勒等語之要旨漸皆昧矣。幸 明初洪武年間,有宗泐大師為海內法將之首領,奉 太祖帝詔,命閱大藏,愽究諸宗,集彌勒等祖之要旨,所謂言簡義豐,語近旨遠,猶杲日麗天,理足圓備者至矣。然此師註釋斷疑之文,雖則清而且徹,無非略其要旨,故辭文易讀而妙旨淵淵,即淺識之者難以探其幽閫。故余不揣固陋之見,乃利他切,分科釋義,欲令來學視如指掌,倘有錯謬半句之義,即沾鑪鑊之咎,亦無恨矣。今將註釋金剛九祖聖號以冠其緒,令諸學者知有來源,以發其端云。序。
