The Essence of the Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra with Collected Commentaries, compiled by the Ming dynasty scholar Jiao Hong, stands as a significant commentary on the Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra. Completed during the Buddhist revival of the late Ming period, this work harmonizes the thought of the Three Teachings—Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism—and emphasizes the doctrine of mind-nature to elucidate the systems of Vijñānavāda (Consciousness-Only) and Tathāgatagarbha (Buddha-nature). Its content encompasses core teachings such as the five dharmas, three natures, eight consciousnesses, and two kinds of selflessness. Through its format of collected commentaries, it assembles the essential insights of eminent monks and masters throughout history. This work is esteemed as a vital nexus for the study of Laṅkāvatāra thought within Chinese Buddhism. It not only reflects the scholarly heights of Ming dynasty doctrinal studies but also provides a crucial bridge for later generations to comprehend Vijñānavāda philosophy and meditative practice. In the history of Buddhist philosophy, it holds a paradigmatic position, inheriting past traditions and paving


楞伽阿䟦多羅寶法經精解評林
楞伽阿䟦多羅寶法經。
(羅整菴因知記云:達磨傳法二祖,謂楞伽四卷,可以印心經,凡四譯。四卷者,乃劉宋時譯本,其文頗奧蕋難讀,當出自佛無疑。)。
(行簡子曰:楞伽經大旨有四:曰五法,曰三自性,曰八識,曰二無我。)。
(道一禪師示眾云:汝等諸人,各信自心是佛,此心即是佛心。達磨大師傳上乘一心之法,令汝等開悟。又引楞伽經文,以印眾生心地。恐汝顛倒,不自信此一心之法,各各有之。故楞伽以佛語心為宗,〔無〕為法門。)。
註曰:楞伽是城名,華言不可往。其城在南海摩羅山頂,無神通者不可往。佛於此處說法,即佛境界,以處表法。阿䟦多羅者,華言無上,亦云入寶者,至貴之物,以喻此經尊貴,故云法喻為名也。經者,貫也,謂貫通諸義也。第一義心為體者,即如來藏自性清淨第一義心也。了妄顯性為宗者,謂達妄顯真,離性執也。斥小辨邪為用者,謂破小乘之偏執,摧外道之邪見也。方等大乘為教相者,謂經通三乘,義從圓頓也。楞伽,山名也。達磨以付慧可曰:吾觀震旦所有經教,惟楞伽四卷可以印心。
蘇東坡䟦楞伽經云:此經謂之佛語心品,相傳以為心法,如醫之有難經。近歲學者務從蕳便,得一句一偈,自謂了證,至使婦人女子抵掌戲笑,爭談禪說,高者為名,下者為利。譬知俗醫不由經論,直受藥方以療疾,非不式中,至於遇病輙底,懸斷生死,則與知經學古者不可同日語矣。難經不學,豈不誤哉!
晁文元題楞伽經云:釋延壽謂此經以佛語心為宗,而李通玄則以五法、三自性、八識、二無我為宗。延壽所云者指其理,通玄所云者指其事。

一切佛語心品第一
