The "Guanyin Jing Yishu Ji Keben" is a significant text of the Tiantai school in Chinese Buddhism. It is a compilation of commentaries and structural analyses by the Song Dynasty Tiantai master Zhili, based on the "Guanyin Jing Yishu" written by the Sui Dynasty master Zhiyi. This work systematically interprets the Universal Gate Chapter of Guanyin Bodhisattva through the Tiantai doctrinal framework, offering an in-depth exploration of the principles and practices of Guanyin devotion. By integrating exegesis, annotations, and structural analysis, it showcases the profound understanding of Guanyin teachings within the Song Dynasty Tiantai tradition. In Buddhist history, this text stands as a model of Tiantai scriptural interpretation and has deeply influenced later understandings of Guanyin practices and Tiantai meditation philosophy. It remains a key resource for studying Guanyin devotion and Tiantai doctrine in Chinese Buddhism.
