The Commentary on the Mahāvairocana Sutra, also known as the Commentary on the Great Sun Sutra, was composed by the eminent Tang Dynasty monk Master Yixing. This commentary is an authoritative exposition of the fundamental esoteric scripture, the Mahāvairocana Sutra, systematically elucidating the Dharma-body realm of Mahāvairocana Buddha, the teachings of esoteric Buddhism, and the practices and rituals. Master Yixing integrated Indian and Chinese thought, establishing the theoretical foundation for Chinese esoteric Buddhism. This commentary is not only a core text for the study of Tang esotericism but has also profoundly influenced Japanese Shingon and Tendai esoteric traditions. It is regarded as an indispensable sacred text for practitioners of esoteric Buddhism and holds a revered position within Chinese Buddhism.
