The *Abhidharmakośa-kārikā-ṭīkā-ṭippanī* is a commentary by the eminent Tang Dynasty monk Huihui on the *Abhidharmakośa-kārikā-ṭīkā*. This work emerged during the peak of Buddhist doctrinal studies in the Tang Dynasty and serves as a vital text for researching the core teachings of the Sarvāstivāda school. Huihui’s commentary provides deeper elucidation and systematic organization of the terminology and principles found in the *Abhidharmakośa-kārikā-ṭīkā*, covering key philosophical topics such as the nature of phenomena, causality and dependent origination, and the stages of practice. This book holds a pivotal role in the history of *Abhidharmakośa* studies within Chinese Buddhism, offering authoritative annotations that have enabled later scholars to gain a profound understanding of the subtle doctrines of the *Abhidharmakośa*. It remains an indispensable reference for the study of the Dharmalakṣaṇa school and *Abhidharmakośa* scholarship.
