The Treatise Resolving Doubts, composed and annotated by the Monk Shizi of the Tang Dynasty, is an authoritative commentary on Buddhist scriptures. This treatise emerged during the golden age of Chinese Buddhism, aiming to address the intellectual controversies and difficulties both within and outside the Buddhist community at that time. Its content elucidates the principles of the Dharma in a question-and-answer format, covering core teachings such as emptiness, cause and effect, and spiritual practice, while integrating the philosophies of Consciousness-Only and Madhyamaka. This treatise holds a significant position within Chinese Buddhism, regarded as a key text for resolving doubts and clarifying confusion. It profoundly influenced later Chan Buddhism and doctrinal studies, providing clear intellectual guidance for students of the Buddha's teachings.


折疑論敘
鄉貢進士白水屈蟠撰
法師。名子成。字彥美。號妙明。京兆霸陵人也。少時為儒。壯而從釋。其性愛書史喜翰墨。樂遊學好著述。每與賢士大夫詩詞唱和。一聯一句落在叢席。人多傳之。如鸚鵡詩云。學得人言字字明。便能巧語為通情。不知身在樊籠裏。猶向堂前弄舌輕。晝寢云。夢魂不管擎書手。一帙南華墮枕邊。閑遊云。家家明月誰無分。處處青山我有緣。水心亭云。綠芰青荷香滿池。環亭冷浸碧瑠璃。高軒矮榻無纖暑。臥看清波浴鷺鷥。其長篇短偈。例皆如此。尤能洞明本宗佛法。予昔嘗與縣大夫張昂。請註心經。五日而成。萬二千言。辭理精當。不為不多得。又嘗綴述本色法事文集。僅二百首。語句雄麗。旨意渾成。同袍得之。囊畜不出。抑為艱得。無意多傳。頃以兵火之亂。匿跡山林。嘗與來客問難詰折。事盡終始。遂錄成軸。名曰折疑論。首之以序問。終之以會名。凡二十篇。言簡而理當。文約而義豐。涵詠六經。略備諸子。每一篇之中。其引類證斷決折疑。理甚明白。若非具三昧辯才。其孰能致於此乎。予與妙明為不請友。其有年矣。大凡著作不我之慳。故於敘引母俟召而云。時辛卯中秋八日書。

折疑論卷第一
金臺大慈恩寺西域師子比丘述註
(曲而斷之謂折。猶豫不決之謂疑。評議難辨之謂論。此論因妙明子居山時有客特詣請問以決所疑。妙明子引三教微言以答之。遂成是錄。故曰折疑)。
