The "Yulanpen Sutra Commentary and Xiaolun Commentary," also known as the "Yurong Commentary," is a re-annotation by the Song Dynasty monk Yurong on the "Yulanpen Sutra Commentary" authored by Zongmi of the Tang Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, Buddhist doctrinal studies flourished, and through this commentary, Yurong further elucidated the filial piety teachings of the Yulanpen Sutra, integrating Confucian ethics with Buddhist doctrine. He emphasized dedicating the merits of offerings to the Three Jewels to both living and deceased parents as a means of repaying their kindness. This work systematically organizes the rituals and theoretical foundations of the Yulanpen Festival, serving as an important document for studying the development of filial piety in Chinese Buddhism and the customs of the Yulanpen Festival. It holds a pivotal and transitional position in the system of filial piety thought and practice within Chinese Buddhism.


No. 375-A佛說盂蘭盆經
聞如是:一時,佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。大目犍連,始得六通,欲度父母,報乳哺之恩。即以道眼,觀視世間,見其亡母,生餓鬼中,不見飲食,皮骨連立。目連悲哀,即以鉢盛飯,往餉其母。母得鉢飯,便以左手障鉢,右手揣食,食未入口,化成火炭,遂不得食。目連大呌,悲號涕泣,馳還白佛,具陳如此。佛言:汝母罪根深結,非汝一人力所柰何。汝雖孝順,聲動天地,天神地祇,邪魔外道,道士四天王神,亦不能柰何。當須十方眾僧威神之力,乃得解脫。吾今當說救濟之法,令一切難,皆離憂苦。佛告目連:十方眾僧,七月十五日,僧自恣時,當為七世父母,及現在父母厄難中者,具飯百味五果,汲灌盆器,香油錠燭,牀敷臥具,盡世甘美,以著盆中,供養十方大德眾僧。當此之日,一切聖眾,或在山閒禪定,或得四道果,或在樹下經行,或六通自在,教化聲聞緣覺,或十地菩薩大人,權現比丘,在大眾中,皆同一心,受鉢和羅飯,具清淨戒,聖眾之道,其德汪洋。其有供養此等自恣僧者,現在父母六親眷屬,得出三塗之苦,應時解脫,衣食自然。若父母現在者,福樂百年。若七世父母生天,自在化生,入天華光。時佛勅十方眾僧,皆先為施主家呪願,願七世父母行禪定意,然後受食。初受食時,先安在佛前塔寺中,佛前眾僧呪願竟,便自受食。時目連比丘及大菩薩眾,皆大歡喜,目連悲啼泣聲,釋然除滅。時目連母,即於是日,得脫一劫餓鬼之苦。目連復白佛言:弟子所生母,得蒙三寶功德之力,眾僧威神之力故,若未來世一切佛弟子,亦應奉盂蘭盆,救度現在父母,乃至七世父母,可為爾不?佛言:大善快問,我正欲說,汝今復問。善男子!若比丘、比丘尼、國王、太子、大臣、宰相、三公、百官、萬民、庶人,行慈孝者,皆應先為所生現在父母,過去七世父母,於七月十五日,佛歡喜日,僧自恣日,以百味飯食,安盂蘭盆中,施十方自恣僧,願使現在父母,壽命百年,無病無一切苦惱之患,乃至七世父母,離餓鬼苦,生人天中,福樂無極。是佛弟子,脩孝順者,應念念中,常憶父母,乃至七世父母,年年七月十五日,常以孝慈,憶所生父母,為作盂蘭盆,施佛及僧,以報父母長養慈愛之恩。若一切佛弟子,應當奉持是法。時目連比丘四輩弟子,歡喜奉行。
