The *Supplemental Commentary on the Sound and Meaning of the Treatise on the Establishment of Consciousness-Only* was composed by the Qing dynasty monk Zhi Su. It provides a structural analysis and commentary on the *Treatise on the Establishment of Consciousness-Only*, translated by Xuanzang of the Tang dynasty. Created during the revival of Buddhist doctrinal studies in the Qing period, this work aims to systematically clarify the core teachings of the Consciousness-Only school through structural analysis, offering detailed explanations of terminology, arguments, and phonetic and semantic corrections. Its content focuses on the school's theories of mental transformation, the doctrine of seeds, and the stages of practice. With its rigorous structure and comprehensive annotations, this work reflects the scholarly level of Consciousness-Only studies in the Qing dynasty and serves as an important auxiliary text for researching the school. It provides a clear pathway for later generations to understand the system and philosophy of the *Treatise on the Establishment of Consciousness-Only*.
