The *Śūraṅgama Sūtra Commentary and Discourse*, compiled by the Song dynasty eminent monk De Hong, who composed the discourse, and Zheng Shou, who edited and synthesized it, stands as a vital exegetical work for the study of the *Śūraṅgama Sūtra*. Completed during the flourishing period of Buddhist doctrinal studies in the Southern Song dynasty, this work integrates Huayan and Chan (Zen) thought, systematically elucidating the Tathāgatagarbha theory, stages of spiritual practice, and meditative contemplation. It emphasizes the innate awakening of the mind and the doctrine of perfect harmony and unobstructed interpenetration. As a core exegetical text of Mahayana Buddhism, it profoundly influenced the philosophical systems and meditative traditions of Chinese Buddhism, revered as an authoritative guide to wisdom and enlightenment. It holds a distinguished position in the history of Buddhist thought and the lineage of spiritual practice.
