"Extensive Commentary on the Śūraṅgama Sūtra" by Ling Hongxian of the Ming Dynasty is a significant exegetical work. Based on the Chinese translation by Pramiti of the Tang Dynasty, Ling Hongxian extensively incorporated annotations from eminent monks and masters throughout history, combining them with his own meditative insights to systematically analyze, verify, and elucidate the sutra. The work deeply expounds on core teachings such as the Śūraṅgama Samādhi, the wondrous true suchness of the Tathāgatagarbha, and the twenty-five perfect and penetrating dharma gates, offering particularly incisive discussions on key meditation topics like the "sevenfold investigation of the mind" and the "eightfold discernment of seeing." As a comprehensive masterpiece of Śūraṅgama studies, this commentary not only serves as an important textual resource for the study of Ming Dynasty Buddhism but is also revered by later generations as an authoritative reference for studying the Śūraṅgama Sūtra due to its rigorous structure and profound philosophical depth, holding a significant place within the doctrinal system of Chinese Buddhism.


No. 288-A鋟楞嚴緣起
遲日閒居,白雲封戶,黃巖之擊竹成風,晦堂之華香盈座。忽跫然履聲,有客啟扉而入,兀坐良久,嘆曰:人生駒隙,終日忙忙,究竟何如?余漫應之曰:腰紫紱,肘黃金,如是足矣。客不應。余復謂之曰:生前簡白,死後翰青,如是止矣。客曰:嘻,吾所謂究竟,不有人生一大涅槃乎?余未解,客亦逡巡而退。越數日,取楞嚴讀之,廼後知一切事法,莫不有究竟。吾夫子所云:生知、學知、困知、安行、利行、勉行、歸根到知之一、成功一,皆一切究竟法。人患不學耳,學者併心一路,則即利即鈍,即漸即頓,何上乘人下乘人之別?溫陵老人曰:導達禪乘,決擇正見。觀心主人曰:廣含法界,細剖隣虗。是楞嚴杜旁門,塞岐路,皈依一切究竟法,作明心了性之真詮。然旨奧義繁,世又多鈍根,學必先漸入,舍註疏蔑證真詮。茫茫大海中,舍寶筏誰登彼岸?矇矓兩眼,舍金鍼孰轉雙瞳?澄法師誠度河之寶筏,撥眼之金鍼矣。余維是手加披閱,廣譯窮搜,採天如之會解,摘真光之正脈,薈天都之標指,葺觀心之參標,益以雲棲祖之摸象,繼以天台師之截流。若長水孤山、溫陵醉季、吳興憨山等法師,不下數十家,盈篇纍牘,展卷燦然,一新世界法眼。庀工鳩材,歷春夏而告成。倐焉金颷薦冷,玉露橫秋,閉關偃息,焚香結趺坐,莊誦楞嚴數過。客復叩關請曰:子悟究竟法乎?法一也。子作出世法,屏除妄想,脫離幻相,從此明心了性,蓮華日日現前。子作入世法,斷却因循二字,從此竿頭更進,皂囊白簡,功垂青史,拾紫如拾芥耳。余霍然而解,與客晤對終日。
