The Treatise on the Hundred Dharmas, with Commentary by Master Guangyi, is an explanatory work by the eminent Ming Dynasty monk Guangyi on the *Treatise on the Hundred Dharmas* by Bodhisattva Vasubandhu. This treatise is a core text of the Indian Yogachara school and the Chinese Dharma-character (Faxiang) Consciousness-Only school, which systematically explains the principle that all phenomena are nothing but consciousness, by categorizing all things into one hundred dharmas across five categories. Guangyi's commentary presents these teachings in a clear and accessible manner, integrating the essence of earlier commentaries by Tang Dynasty masters such as Kuiji, with precise analysis and synthesis of key Buddhist terms. This work helps students understand the structure of Consciousness-Only philosophy. Holding an important place in the revival of Consciousness-Only studies during the Ming Dynasty, it serves as a bridge between past and future teachings. It is an essential introductory guide for studying the theory and practice of the Dharma-character school, and remains an authoritative and indispensable commentary for learning Consciousness-Only teachings today.
