The *New Commentary on the Ullambana Sutra* by the eminent Ming dynasty monk Ouyi Zhixu is an authoritative exegesis on the *Buddha Speaks the Ullambana Sutra*. This commentary, grounded in the doctrinal perspective of the Tiantai school and integrating Confucian filial piety, systematically expounds the Dharma meaning of Maudgalyāyana rescuing his mother. It emphasizes the spirit of filial devotion through making offerings to the Triple Gem and transferring merit for the liberation of one's parents of seven past generations. Master Zhixu skillfully blends scriptural teaching with practical cultivation in this work, deepening the practical significance of the Ullambana assembly. Regarded as a paradigmatic work on filial piety within Chinese Buddhism, this commentary has profoundly influenced the rituals of the later Ullambana Festival and the Sinicization of Buddhism. It stands as an essential text for the study of Buddhist views on filial piety and ritual practice.
