The "Mahāśamatha-vipaśyanā Meaning and Commentary" is a commentary by the Song Dynasty Tiantai master Chuyuan on his teacher Zhili's work "Mahāśamatha-vipaśyanā Meaning." This book emerged during the academic debates between the "Mountain School" and "Off-Mountain School" within the Northern Song Tiantai tradition. As a representative of the Mountain School, Chuyuan deeply elucidates the core theories of Mahāśamatha-vipaśyanā through detailed explanations, including the practice essentials of "Threefold Contemplation in One Mind" and the "Ten Vehicles of Contemplation." This work systematically organizes and defends the orthodox interpretation of Tiantai meditation, serving as a vital bridge for understanding the Tiantai meditation system. It holds an authoritative, transitional position within Tiantai literature and has profoundly influenced later Buddhist practice theory.


止觀義例
釋曰。此之首題文乃從略。具存應云摩訶止觀義例。若從舊本應云圓頓止觀義例。章安再治。去圓頓名。安摩訶稱者。以摩訶名含三法故。何者。梵語摩訶。華言大多勝也。夫大也者。般若妙德體周法界。畢竟空也。多也者。解脫妙德具一切法。不思議假也。勝也者。法身妙德性一切法。勝二邊故。妙中道也。此之三法。分別有三。體非三也。舉一即三。舉三即一。非三非一。不可思議。此之名以冠止觀。則顯若止若觀皆具此三。是則一止而三止。一觀而三觀。無非三德祕密之藏。又應了知。止非定止觀非定觀。止觀名別而體不殊。是故止觀二非二。為治散病說名為止。為治昏病說名為觀。當知只一三千為止觀耳。吾祖智者聞之於靈鸞。悟之於大蘇。說之於玉泉。乃此止觀法門也。章安再治。題曰摩訶。以顯三德。止觀便故。舊題圓頓。義乃通途。以一二三四五乃至無量皆圓頓故。不如摩訶直顯三法。是故改也。所言義例者。義之一字不可輕釋。包五略。含十廣。妙解妙行自行因果化他能所乃至同歸三德密藏。方盡義之一字也。纂者但云。義者止觀所以。其言落漠全無所歸。應知荊谿尊者欲明此義。乃作七科例之。俾今行者達五略十廣乃至旨歸。以成妙行由茲成佛。豈輕易而言哉。所言例者。此乃法春秋左傳之謂也。傳有總例大例凡例等。斯文七例即大例也。梁肅統例即總例也。斯文之下凡例甚多。如云凡列章門。有對自開合。有對他開合等。例者類例也。此以一部總為七例。總中之別例亦多矣。是故解釋此題不可率爾也。
天台沙門湛然述
釋曰。天台。山名也。乃行道著述之所也。或稱毗陵維桑之地也。沙門。翻勤息。湛然。尊者名也。述謂撰述。皆如常說不復委釋。
  • 第一所傳部別例
  • 第二所依正教例
  • 第三文義消釋例
  • 第四大章總別例
  • 第五心境釋疑例
  • 第六解行相資例
  • 第七喻疑顯正例
釋曰。此之七例通而言之。篇篇莫不皆為破迷情。顯正理。成妙解。立妙行。別而言之各有所主。故云所傳部別乃至喻疑顯正。入文自見矣。
