The *Jia Ke Zhao Lun Xu Zhu* is a commentary by the Northern Song dynasty monk Xiaoyue on the *Zhao Lun* written by the eminent Eastern Jin monk Sengzhao. This work emerged during the flourishing period of Buddhist doctrinal studies in the Song dynasty. Master Xiaoyue, having deeply studied the Three Treatises and Prajñā thought, composed this commentary on this important Madhyamaka text. Its content primarily provides structural analysis and exegesis of the core chapters in the *Zhao Lun*, such as the "Treatise on the Prajñā of Non-knowing," the "Treatise on the Unreal Emptiness," and the "Treatise on the Non-movement of Things." It elucidates the teaching of the emptiness of the nature of prajñā and integrates Huayan thought. This commentary holds a significant place in Buddhist history, regarded as one of the key exegetical works for understanding Sengzhao's Madhyamaka philosophy. It has had a profound influence on later studies of the Three Treatises School and the development of Chinese Buddhist philosophy.


慧達率愚。通序長安釋僧肇法師所作。宗本物不遷等四論。
序主云率愚者。謙抑之辭也。序者爾唯云。東西墻謂之序。郭璞注云。所以序別內外也。今達師序述作論元由。如東西墻為宅之序也。又序者如繭之得序。序盡一繭之絲。經書得序。序盡一經書之義理。言小招提寺者。在潤州江寧縣。舊是丹陽郡。始自吳朝。爰及晉宋齊梁陳六代已來。佛法興盛。伽藍精舍。接揀連甍。名字相參。如莊嚴寺。則有大莊嚴小莊嚴。招提寺亦有大小之名。大招提是梁時造。小招提是晉時造。達師是陳時人。居小招提寺為沙門也。當陳時名達者非一人。故標其寺以為別也。然此達公佛義未善文體。所作論序多有庸音。今只直取序論之大意。後之覽者無至譏誚。肇論從人得名也。是後秦姚興長安人也。俗姓張氏。家貧以傭書為業。遂因善寫。曆觀經史。備盡墳籍。乃為儒生深味玄微。每以莊老為心要。常讀老子道德章歎曰。美則美矣。然其棲神冥累之方。猶未盡也。後見古維摩經。披尋翫味。乃言始知所歸矣。因此出家。大通實相。年方弱冠。英辯遠聞。後羅什東來化誘。暫憩姑臧。肇奔往參承從什稟授。先有著述。竝將呈什。什撫机歎曰。吾所造幽深不慙於子。文辭麗美。實則相遵可同善吉者也。遂參隨羅什入長安。姚興命肇與僧叡等。居逍遙園。詳定經論。因著述宗本義。物不遷。不真空。般若無知三論。涅槃無名論。是什遷化後方造也。盧山劉遺民因見此論乃歎曰。不意方袍復有平叔。呈之遠公。遠公乃撫机歎曰。未嘗有也。因披尋翫味。遂有書問住復。什公亡後。遂以涅槃無名論。復造寶藏論三章。進上秦王。秦王姚興答旨慇懃。敕令繕寫。班諸子姪以為大訓。其為時所重也如此。晉義熙十年。終於長安逍遙園。春秋三十有一耳。
