The Outline and Commentary on the Lotus Sutra is a work of structural analysis and exegetical commentary on the Sutra of the Lotus Flower of the Wonderful Dharma, composed by the eminent Qing dynasty monk Master Tongli. Master Tongli was a distinguished Vinaya master of the mid-Qing period, who deeply studied the doctrines and contemplative practices of the Tiantai school. This work systematically organizes the chapter structure and doctrinal layers of the Lotus Sutra in the form of an outline, aiding learners in clearly grasping the overall framework of the sutra, while providing profound explanations of its core teachings such as the One Vehicle of true reality, opening the provisional to reveal the true, and unifying the three vehicles into the one. As an important exegetical text on the Lotus Sutra, it reflects the Qing dynasty Buddhist scholarly achievements in the study of Tiantai scriptures, offering authoritative interpretive guidance for practitioners, and holds a significant position in Buddhist doctrinal research and the transmission of the Lotus Sutra.


No. 629-A製疏始末
噫 弘經難矣。弘法華尤難。弘法華而但事演說已難矣。若著疏尤更難。余身歷之。乃深信之。余族出冀屬。家新邑。姓趙氏。父母家寒。不能贍養。八歲捨而出家。師近莊農。又不能教。乃就學於祖。始業儒典。二載頗識字義。間習諷誦。惟朝夕功課而已。十一歲時。隨祖至檀越袁公家。眾僧誦法華經次。公戲謂余曰。沙彌受我齋供。能為我誦經乎。余曰諾。因隨眾誦經若宿習然。舉眾皆異。祖亦歡喜。乃摩頂而對眾曰。此子必從僧中來也。依歲於岫雲圓具。微攻律典。津津然以聽教為念。初於善應聽彌陀。次於衍法聽楞嚴。皆茫無所了。後於雍正二年甲辰。覲香嵒。聽法華。每遇難理會處。輒有新悟。異彼舊說。質之不公。公深許之。於是遂有著經之念。閱明年。隱居妙峯山之石草精舍。援筆始註。至方便品初。雙歎智慧之文。疑情頓發。越十五日不能措一詞。白晝翻閱。丙夜思惟。竟至視聽罔然。食不知味。時有人廣修在傍。輒笑之。以為入魔境矣。一日讀經至如是相處。忽然有省。始信古人所謂山河及大地。全露法王身者。不我欺也。自是不但於是經渙然無疑。乃至徧觀諸經。亦皆渙然無疑矣。及欲續著。是非潛興。賓主失宜。所願不果。繼爾由岫雲。至聖感。足未至閫而猜忌斯生。所賴知是法障。志不少移。岫雲續前槀。聖感錄科判。終以力不勝任。遁跡西禪。乞食自支。欲終厥志。無何逆緣方殄。順障旋興。蒙僧錄司舉授萬善殿教習。居二年。與諸沙彌為伍。將課業教儀之不暇。尚何心於著述哉。庚戌冬。辭萬善。住遺光。壁不障身。室難蔽日。日馳騁於土木。時夤緣於奔馳。間雖開講設期。不過勉應來學。而究於是疏無暇及也。癸丑春。矢志閉關。重理前槀。甫完正宗。又值公令。奉旨圓明園。校對宗鏡等書。緣茲日事筆墨。折衷古今於臆見不無少補。時思華嚴為諸經之王。清涼擅一家之宗。不究其源。寧攝於末。由是於乾隆六年辛酉。啟建華嚴講期。醉心大疏。三越暑寒。望大海之洪深。自鄙行潦。目太虗之寬濶。羞詡芥空。甲子冬。再講斯經。重治茲疏。功未及半。即赴他請。乙丑冬。歸自清涼。誓終此志。約閉無期之關。限待有成之日。心祈三寶。仰慈悲以資神。身䇿六時。繼朝昏而御硯。爰紀功竣。時在丙寅春之建辰月也。然自憶驅烏之年。不習便誦。負笈之際。一聽微明。似有宿緣。因敢輒著。乃竟至二十餘年。稾經三易。本雖粗定。梓尚未然。且其間順逆交攻。數斷數續。若非如來遙見守護。其志幾為遭際所隳。甚哉著疏之難復難也。雖然。二十餘年。自視若夢期也。住此住彼。迴想若夢中人也。幾踰四十萬言。皆夢中寱語。其間或順或逆。皆夢中境界。即今編序始末。依然夢中說夢。伏望後之閱我疏。處我境者。皆應作如是觀。
