The Essence of the Śūraṅgama Sūtra: A Refined Commentary and Anthology, compiled by the Ming dynasty scholar Jiao Hong, was completed during the Wanli era. This work is a collected commentary and exegesis on the *Śūraṅgama Sūtra (Great Buddha Crown Sūtra)*, synthesizing the perspectives of eminent monks and masters throughout history, including those from the Tiantai, Huayan, and Chan traditions, while integrating essential critiques that draw upon the thought of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. Its content encompasses the theory of mind-nature, stages of practice, meditative contemplation, and the Tathāgatagarbha system, systematically elucidating the cultivation, realization, and sublime principles of the Śūraṅgama Samādhi. As a significant text in Śūraṅgama studies from the Ming dynasty, it combines scholarly depth with practical guidance, holding a pivotal role in the history of Buddhist doctrinal interpretation by connecting past and future. It stands as a key canonical work for the study of the *Śūraṅgama Sūtra* and the evolution of Chinese Buddhist thought.


No. 301-A釋教總論
人之恒性,廼上帝降衷,人所同具者。以其無思無為,故謂之寂;以其不可覩聞,故謂之微;以其無物,故謂之虗;以其無欲,故謂之靜;以其智周萬物,故謂之覺。而其歸不出於無之一言。無者,有之基也。故寂以通天下之感,靜以貞天下之動,微以效天下之顯,虗以御天下之實,覺以神天下之應,是謂千聖相傳無所倚之學。漢儒徒以訓詁為學,補綴張皇,攷訂於形名器數之末,取古聖賢已行之跡,著為典要,相守以為世法,不知以無為用。彼佛氏者,見吾儒學術之弊,奮然攘臂其間,取吾學之精義,據而有之於己。凡古聖賢已行之跡,一切掃歸於無。而吾儒廼競競自守,拘滯於形器之中,終身煩惱而不自覺。語及虗寂,則曰:此異端之教也,避之惟恐不及。不知佛氏所謂虗寂,本吾儒之故物,彼直竊而據焉。韓、歐原道本論,欲以虗聲嚇之,直指其粗迹耳。請言其精:有謂吾儒之學主於經世,佛氏之學主於出世,以為公私之辨者矣;有謂躭悅禪味,偏於靜虗者矣;有謂絕情去念,流於斷滅者矣;有謂經是言詮,直指單傳,不立文字者矣。夫佛氏慈悲喜捨,普度眾生,雖身命有所不惜,未嘗自私也。偏於靜虗,乃二乘見解。若上乘之禪,從塵勞煩惱中作佛事,於眾生心行中覓佛法,未嘗厭動而有所偏也。最上乘之禪,亦以斷滅為外道,於念離念,即情忘情,不即不離,是究竟法,未嘗絕情去念也。經何有過,何妨於誦?此不立文字,便是文字之相。出息不涉於眾緣,入息不居於陰界,是謂轉經要法。不能心悟,反為法華所轉,始落言詮爾。此其大凡也。善乎文中子之言曰:佛為西方之聖人,中國則泥。盖吾儒之學,以萬物各得其所為盡性;佛氏之教,欲使萬物同歸寂滅,不可以治天下國家,是則所謂泥也。此又為儒者所當知。
