The Exquisite Commentary and Forest of Pearls on the Lotus Sutra is a significant commentary on the Lotus Sutra compiled by the Ming dynasty scholar Jiao Hong. Completed in the late Ming period, this work integrates Confucian and Buddhist thought, reflecting the scholarly context of the confluence of the three teachings at that time. In terms of content, it systematically compiles previous commentaries on the Lotus Sutra, supplemented with concise critiques, emphasizing the elucidation of the sutra's profound principles and practical guidance. This text holds a prominent position in Buddhist history, providing a valuable document for the study of the Lotus Sutra and Ming dynasty Buddhist thought, particularly illustrating the deep integration of lay Buddhism and scholarly exegesis.


(天台曰。發秘密之奧藏。稱之為妙。示權實之正軌。故號為法。指久遠之本果。喻之以蓮。會不二之圓道。譬之以花。聲為佛事。稱之為經。圓詮之初。目之為序。此經蕩化城之執教。廢草菴之滯情。開方便之權門。示真實之妙理。會眾善之小行。歸廣大之一乘。文愽義深。餘經莫及)。
山谷意曰。梵云薩達磨。此云妙法。或云正法。盖薩字之中含攝二義。故秦本妙法。晉本正法。皆無失也。具十妙義獨勝餘經。故云妙也。一乘真宗中道了義。故云正也。住持真理為物軌範。故云法也。蓮華。梵云奔茶利迦。此云白蓮華。白為眾色之本。一乘為餘乘之宗。故取喻之。如下經中初放白毫之光。終賜白牛之駕。是此義也。蓮華者。居泥不染。因果齊彰。喻前妙法開權顯實會三歸一。明佛知見。不同餘經。法喻雙題。故云妙法蓮華經。梵云素呾纜。此云契經。契謂契理契機。經謂貫攝常法。即契理合機之教。故云契經。今略契字。務從前簡也。
白樂天序法華院石壁金字經云。開上悟入。諸佛知見。以了義度無邊。以圓教垂無窮。莫尊於妙法蓮華經。是經也。三乘之要首。萬佛之秘藏盡矣。
