The *Shurangama Sutra: A Comprehensive Guide* is an important Buddhist commentary compiled by the lay scholar Liu Daokai during the Qing Dynasty. Born in the late Ming and early Qing period, Liu Daokai deeply felt the profound complexity of Buddhist teachings. To help students more easily grasp the principles of the *Shurangama Sutra*, he compiled this work by systematically organizing and extracting its essential teachings. The content primarily provides a structured analysis of the *Great Buddha's Crown Shurangama Sutra*, translated by the Tang Dynasty monk Paramiti, distilling its core concepts such as the wondrous true suchness of the Tathagata-garbha and the perfect penetration through the faculty of hearing. By simplifying complexities and highlighting the stages of practice and realization, the book holds a significant place in Buddhist history. It is regarded as an authoritative introductory guide for studying the *Shurangama Sutra*, blending the essence of Chan (Zen) and doctrinal teachings, and has had a profound influence on later generations, making it particularly suitable for beginners seeking to understand the sutra's meaning in a coherent manner.


No. 303-D編輯始末
余庚辰歲客京師,始閱楞嚴會解,閱凡再,僅窺其大意而已。丁亥,避亂於梁山之金城塞,又得會解讀之,稍復通曉,於時竊有願焉。顧安得淹貫明白,若儒家之講意者,以廣引末學乎?戊子冬,隨集仙宗兄過達州之漢城寨,忽得合轍一卷於斷殘經帙中,取而誦之,心開神躍,曰:此可為講意資糧矣。而全本亦未見也。己丑,至嘉陵參離,指和尚云:有合轍全本。庚寅,乃求得而卒業焉,則又躍然歎未曾有。和尚謂余:合轍固善,不如正脉之尤善也。余又求正脉讀之,初苦其科揲煩碎,屢閱屢𰩑,及觀其簡識取根,不用天台止觀,種種卓見,高出羣疏。相傳蓮師初見此本,望北焚香,搭衣禮拜,良有以也。而余之講意,可以編矣。爰取正脉、合轍二書,研味參伍,用經書講章之例,融會而編之。分章過脉,聯絡照應,必肖先佛口脗,必透後學心胸,而繁碎科分,槩從芟去。大約取正脉十之六,合轍十之四,而余間有管窺,亦附十之一焉。權輿於辛卯正月,告竣於壬辰九月。書成,凡十卷,敬質之離和尚,和尚不以為謬,而令存其草本,以待緣而梓焉。順治庚子,余就養,復入都門,此本尚留嘉陵,未之携也。偶於報國寺集得如說一函,閱之,書成於鍾伯敬、賀可上兩居士,大約亦本正脉,而參以新裁,往往玅合佛旨。至丁未春,次男如淮來自嘉陵,乃緘余草本至,宛然故舊重逢,喜可知也。於是復加較定,而以如說參之,葢前後二十七年,而大願始畢,可以無憾矣。至於剞劂流布,予未敢必,適同鄉高平令白君田生讀而善之,首捐百金,倡刻三卷,而唐、謝兩君和之,吾兒又卒成之,閱半載而十卷告完。其序則天官少宰高念東先生椽筆,先生今之張無盡也,聖典託名敘以傳,不尤幸乎?爰記其始末如此,俾後之覽者,鑒弘經之不易,而勿加輕褻云爾。
旹大清康熈七年戊申秋八月朔旦,白衣戒弟子劉道開題於燕臺之鴻雪堂。
