The "Outline of the Mind-Contemplating Definitive Explanation of the Śūraṅgama Sūtra" composed by the Qing Dynasty Master Lingyao is one of the important commentaries on the Śūraṅgama Sūtra. This work takes the Tiantai School's method of contemplating the mind as its core, systematically elucidating the principles of "perfect and sudden śamatha-vipaśyanā" and "the eternal true mind" within the sutra, emphasizing the illumination of mind and realization of nature through contemplating one's own mind. Its content encompasses doctrinal classification, the theory of mind-nature, stages of practice, and more, structured with rigor and profound interpretation. As a representative exegetical work of the Tiantai tradition, this commentary holds a far-reaching influence in the history of Buddhist doctrinal studies, particularly providing an authoritative guide to mind-nature practice for those studying the Śūraṅgama Sūtra. To this day, it remains a significant reference for both research and practical cultivation in Chinese Buddhism.
